As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.

As part of our continuing commitment to environmentally responsible vacations we are have installed a biomass boiler at our home base and we have extended the productive growing areas of the garden immeasurably with the help of summer volunteers. We also produce all our own kindling and have for years been self-sufficient in our wood supplies.
Along with the history we also like to convey the contemporary opportunities and pressures facing the area both environmental & socio-economic e.g. the detrimental effect of second home ownership.
We are sponsors of the "Snow White" scheme on Cairngorm Mountain and are currently working with the RSPB to sponsor a local woodland scheme.
We were Highly Commended for the Golsdstar Green Tourism Awards 2013 and the "Taste our Best" awarded by Visit Scotland QA (2013)
The Impacts of this Trip
Our staff are all local to the village. We always source locally first and encourage our guests to participate in as many of the events which take place in our village as possible.
We buy from local suppliers for all our catering supplies and have recently converted to using local artisans to supply some of the furniture, soap and pictures/frames around our home, which is your base for your trip.
Our local butcher is now a farm shop supplied by a farm almost next door to our son's school. There meat is all of local species and animal welfare is at the core of their business.
We work closely with local environmental agencies including the RSPB for the protection of local species and Cairngorms Connect project to extend the coverage of native Caledonian pine forests.
We are also keen supporters of Scotland the Big Picture. Scotland the Big Picture seeks to develop a wilder Scotland and supports the reintroduction of native species to Scotland.
