Our commitment to eco-friendly practices
At Nature's Rest, our mission is to offer a tranquil escape that nurtures both our guests and the planet. Discover how we integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our glamping experience.
Resource conservation at the heart of Nature's Rest
At Nature's Rest, we prioritise renewable resources and simple infrastructure to minimise our environmental impact. Our commitment to sustainability guides every decision, ensuring a truly eco-friendly experience.
Solar power
We harness wind and solar energy to power essential equipment, reducing our reliance on conventional energy sources.
Water management
Our sophisticated water management system captures and stores floodwater runoff for garden use. Additionally, we utilise rainwater harvesting to provide a sustainable water supply.
Sustainable materials
We maintain our hedges by hand or with small tools, and all cut material is repurposed on-site for woodchips, biochar, and fuel, ensuring nothing goes to waste and contributing to a circular economy.
Experience eco-friendly stays at Nature's Rest
Our site is thoughtfully designed for guests who wish to reconnect with nature while leaving no trace. We believe that a truly immersive experience means respecting and preserving our beautiful environment.
Minimalist facilities
We keep our facilities simple to significantly reduce our environmental footprint. You'll find comfortable portable or composting toilets and shared washing areas, designed for minimal impact and maximum comfort.
"Leave no trace" policy
To uphold our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of Nature's Rest, all guests are required to take all waste and rubbish with them upon departure. This policy ensures that our meadows and wildlife habitats remain pristine for future visitors and local biodiversity.
Why our commitment to eco-friendly practices matters
At Nature’s Rest, our commitment to eco-friendly practices stems from a core belief: that nature sometimes needs a helping hand. We aim to shift away from intensive, high-impact systems towards a model where humans and the environment work in harmony.
Restoring biodiversity
Much of our land was previously unmanaged, leading to an overgrowth of non-beneficial species like rushes. Our goal is to reclaim the ground through organic methods, allowing rare native grasses and wildflowers to thrive and supporting a healthy ecosystem.
Demonstrating transparency
By being open about our daily running practices, Nature's Rest seeks to provide a "demonstrative insight" into why ecosystems and biodiversity are so vital. We invite you to learn with us and understand the importance of environmental stewardship.
How you’ll notice our eco-friendly efforts during your stay
When you stay here, you’ll find that being "green" isn't a chore—it’s just part of the experience. We try to make our eco-efforts visible but seamless, so you can join in as much or as little as you like. Here's what you’ll notice and how you can get involved:
The little details
We use biodegradable cleaning products that keep the air fresh and chemical-free, ensuring a healthy environment for everyone.
Smart energy
We use LED lighting throughout and smart thermostats that keep things comfortable without wasting power when you’re out exploring our beautiful surroundings.
Conscious décor
Much of our furniture is upcycled or sourced from local council, giving the space character while significantly reducing our carbon footprint.
