Our Green Charter

We ask our glampers to recycle 100% of the packaging they bring on site and make this an easy process. Our safari tents are furnished with a mixture of upcycled and new furniture and our play area utilises wood off cuts and second-hand farm tyres.

Our site is a haven for wildlife. We have a wildflower meadow, pond, orchard and are just minutes from the River Exe. We have installed bird boxes to provide nesting sites and we regularly rescue chickens from the British Hen Welfare Trust. At the river meadow we frequently litter pick any rubbish that has been washed downstream and are in the process of developing a tree planting scheme.

We source products for our welcome pack and bar locally where possible to reduce carbon emissions. We consciously partner with companies that also support positive green practises. We recently purchased a fully electric UTV for maintenance jobs on-site. We also provide ideas for guests of things to do on our doorstep (the Exe Valley Way footpath runs through our site) to encourage ‘active travel’. We loan out free-of-charge an off-road Out’n’About child’s buggy.

We re-fill all of the toiletries in our bathrooms as well as our cleaning products. These include washing up liquid and cleaning sprays thereby removing single-plastic use. For any plastic that is used we ensure it is 100% recycled.

The luxury skincare products by 100 Acres that we use in our bathrooms are made of only the freshest 100% natural botanical ingredients. We use Ecover and plant-based cleaning products and buy these in bulk so we can refill the containers.

The external night-time lighting uses low-energy bulbs and is movement controlled minimising both the use of energy and the amount of light pollution. All lights onsite use low energy LED’s.

Our courtyard bar provides a regular community hub on a Friday evening and we strive to be good neighbours and actively support our local community in a wide variety of ways including membership on the Parish Council and school PTA.
