We’ve won a Gold Green Tourism Award!

At Oaklands Country Lodges we are really thrilled to have been presented with a Gold Green Tourism Award for our work to ensure that our three fabulous luxury lodges are as environmentally friendly as they can be. Awarded by the Green Tourism Business Scheme, it’s a tough award to get!

First of all you have submit an application and then you have to be audited – in lots of detail! The Green Tourism Business representative spent hours with us at the Lodges checking that everything we that we said we did, we actually did. It was a really thorough process, even the final audit report we received from the assessor was 16 pages long - phew!

Here is just a little bit of what they said in the report – we’re so proud!

“The business has achieved a Gold Level Green Tourist Award, a commendable achievement, reflecting the vision and determination of the owners. The properties make good use of air source heat pumps and solar PV... The environmental policy is well thought out and green matters are efficiently managed… A pond, fed by rainwater, is a notable feature and Oaklands has planted significant trees and hedges which help to support wildlife. A very good business.”
