Sustainability
At Fair Rigg by Cradel Haus, we hold a profound understanding of the importance of sustainability. As a family-owned establishment nestled in the breathtaking beauty of the Lake District, we recognise our responsibility to preserve and protect the environment that surrounds us. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond providing luxurious accommodation; it is an integral part of our ethos, guiding every aspect of our operations.
Energy Conservation: A Greener Approach
At Fair Rigg by Cradel Haus, we quietly harness the power of the sun with solar panels on our roof, backed by a battery system charging during off-peak hours. We encourage our guests to minimize energy use, turn off appliances when not needed, and adopt a mindful approach during their stay. In periods without guests, we conscientiously power down non-essential appliances and heating. Every light bulb is energy-saving, and our appliances, including a new boiler, are chosen for their energy efficiency, aligning with our commitment to a sustainable future.
Waste Reduction: Fostering a Greener Stay
We ask our guests to minimise their waste during their stay, and our waste company are one of Cumbria’s recycling leaders. Our dedication extends to purchasing recycled products whenever possible, contributing to a circular economy. Say no to single-use plastics—our accommodations feature refillable soaps and eco-friendly choices, such as WhoGivesACrap toilet roll. Together, we strive for a greener, more sustainable environment during your stay at Fair Rigg.
Transport: Nurturing Sustainable Journeys
At Fair Rigg by Cradel Haus, we embrace sustainable travel. Our guest book provides convenient links to public transport options, encouraging guests to explore the picturesque surroundings on foot, immersing themselves in the scenic beauty of the Lake District. In our commitment to sustainable transportation, we also offer electric vehicle (EV) chargers, inviting guests to recharge their vehicles with clean energy during their stay.
Local Sourcing: Supporting Community Prosperity
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our sourcing practices, prioritising local suppliers to reduce carbon footprint and support community businesses. From our cleaning firm to builders, even our doggie welcome packs curated by Cumbrian Sir Woofchester’s, we consciously keep it local. We encourage our guests to embrace the same ethos by exploring and spending in local small businesses, fostering a sense of community prosperity during their stay at Fair Rigg.
