Booking a holiday cottage that has taken care of the sustainable, green & responsible elements!
Trying to do your bit to help preserve the planet? You've come to the right place.
By booking a stay with us, you are helping the planet by holidaying in 'green' cottages that are doing their bit to be sustainable.
Let us tell you a bit more about what we are doing to be green and sustainable;
- Both cottages hot water and heating is generated from a Ground Source Heat Pump, this is a renewable source of energy.
- The secondary source of heating is from log burners using responsibly sourced logs from organically felled trees on the farm.
- Toiletries provided in the bathrooms are decanted from a bulk 5L container into the ceramic dispensers, to reduce single use plastic waste.
- All of the light bulbs are LED's and appliances are the highest efficiency rating.
It sounds like we are doing quite a few different things, we were awarded the Bronze award for Green Tourism earlier this year, there is a Silver and Gold award so there is a lot more that we could and will be doing. As part of the process there is feedback given in the areas for improvements so we plan to work on these areas in the future.
We are finalists for the REYTA (Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Award) category 'Ethical, Responsible and Sustainable'. Our application included all of the points above but also the fact that we have accessible, level access throughout the ground floor with lower level vanity units and kitchen work space. We source all of our Welcome Hamper ingredients locally, with the eggs coming from our farm, only a few fields away from the cottages. We are responsible for working with local companies such as Paige and Partridge and Oaklands Grand Lodge.
The awards ceremony is in November so wish us luck!

Pasture House Holiday Cottages, Brandesburton,
Driffield, YO25 8EP
Pasture House Ltd is part funded by European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development: Europe investing in Rural Areas
This project has delivered two five star luxury holiday homes with the highest level gold award. It has enabled the replacement of a derelict farmhouse with Pasture House - a three storey, six bedroom main house, all en-suite and further enabled the renovation of The Stables which is a single storey two bedroom, again both are en-suite. Both properties have green credentials, disabled access and provide numerous part time roles as well as bringing tourists into the local area throughout the year.
