Polrode and the Environment:

We endeavour to be as green as possible without compromising on the comfort of our guests. Wood burning stoves, fuelled from our woods, are carbon neutral and supports our central heating system. Much of our refuse is recycled or composted. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce our electricity consumption, and ecologically friendly laundry and cleaning products are kind to our rivers.

We endeavour to support local food suppliers and use much of our own organic produce, minimising food miles and ensuring the freshest and best quality products. The water at Polrode comes from our own spring.

The cottage and gardens are set in an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) along the River Allen. Our organic approach to gardening supports the wide range of wild flora and fauna to be found here.
