At Orchard lodge we care about the environment.

 We're delighted to have been given a prestigious Gold award by the Green Tourism Business Scheme.  Shelley is an Ambassador for CoaST - the Cornwall Sustainable Tourism Project - and helps other businesses in the area learn more about environmentally-friendly tourism.  We're also members of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, South West Coast Path Association, English Heritage and life members of the National Trust.

 We began our move towards sustainable tourism the minute we took over Orchard Lodge. It started with using food that’s locally produced and sourced and has extended into farming with our own pig for our very own pork and sausages; we installed the latest energy efficient central heating, windows and insulation and our latest project, solar water heating from roof-top panels is fully operational; we also use a 100 per cent renewable source for electricity.
