Green Issues
We have made positive improvements to Lletty Cottage to make it more sustainable, such as low energy lighting, Energy Grade-A appliances, our own bore hole water, and secondary glazing on some windows.
Whenever possible we use natural cleaning products (cleaning ingredients derived from plant extracts) in the cottage, such as washing up liquid, kitchen cleaning solution, toilet cleaner, dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets and fabric softener. All cottage linen and towels are washed in non- bio products.
We encourage our visitors to recycle as much waste as possible, including food, paper, glass and plastic. We provide four bins in Lletty Cottage a) a food waste bin, b) blue bags for paper, tins and cardboard c) a bin for any other waste d) waste from the bathroom.
We grow our own vegetables and herbs, and willingly share any produce with visitors to the cottage.
We are cultivating an eco-friendly garden to attract wildlife. We fill the bird feeders every day in the cottage garden, and all planting is designed to encourage a wide range of wildlife. We have a large wildlife pond in one of our fields, with Canada Geese and Moorhens nesting every year, and a bog garden with a log-pile for nesting creatures has also been developed.
