Sustainability at Cilhendre Fawr Farm

We are proud to embrace eco-friendly practices. Our heating system uses Biomass fuels, a carbon-lean technology that supports sustainability. Biomass fuels release the same amount of carbon absorbed by plants during their growth, unlike fossil fuels that release carbon stored for millions of years. We also actively recycle and provide recycling bins in all cottages to reduce environmental impact.

Whether you’re relaxing by the wood-burning fire, cooking in the large country kitchen, or exploring the surrounding countryside, The Cow Shed Cottage offers the perfect balance of comfort, charm, and sustainability for your stay.
