Going Green
We are working hard to reduce our impact on the environment at Hall Farm. The previous owners installed solar panels and we use a 100% renewable energy supplier to provide our electricity. With the cottages being heated by storage heaters you can be 100% carbon neutral on your stay if you wish. We are currently in the process of having a electric vehicle charging system installed on our property - this will be available for guests to use at a small cost.
Our cleaning and laundry products (mainly Ecover and Method which are brilliant brands) are plant-based, non-animal tested and refillable. We've had positive feedback from guests regarding the washing up liquid, surface spray and hand wash in the cottages and detergent and softener in our utility barn.
Items in our welcome hamper are sourced locally wherever possible. Fresh milk is provided for all guests from a local dairy farm in Cheadle (Wheat Brothers) and we use local suppliers and stores from Ashbourne, Bakewell, Leek and Hartington.
Our fantastic location in the White Peak means you can walk and cycle from the doorstep, we also have lots of maps available for people to borrow should they wish. Whilst we aren't blessed with the best public transport links on our doorstep we can give guidance on train and bus routes. Sheffield, Manchester and Derby trains are all within 30 minutes of our doorstep should you wish to venture into the city.
