We believe it is important to reduce our carbon footprint and do our bit to help the environment. We hope that our eco-friendly ethos will encourage guests who visit Derbyshire to develop a sense of respect and empathy for the natural environment.
Warm Water
Our thermal solar panels create 12,195 kwhrs of thermal solar energy annually, enough to heat 500 showers.
Light
Our photovoltaic solar panels create 20,000 kwhrs of solar energy annually, enough to power one light in every bedroom for the whole year.
Heating
We use heat from the air source heat pumps to warm up the water in our underfloor heating.
Electric Car Charging
Our photovoltaic solar panels create energy to fuel our electric minibus. Two electric car charging points are available on our site.
