Ivy House And The Environment

We are very lucky at Ivy House to live in a beautifull part of the country - just a dog ball`s throw from the CHESHIRE PLAINS AREA of Outstanding Natural Beauty.We are keen to do what we can to preserve the beauty by doing what we can to minimise our impact on the environment whilst maintaining HIGH LEVELS OF LUXURY AND COMFORT FOUR OUR VALUED GUESTS.

We have joined the Green Tourism Business Scheme and The Cheshire Hills Be Sustainable Buy Local Scheme.Both Schemes require us to demonstrate,in a number of ways,how we are being sustainable.

Some things come easily to us,like not grooming the gardens to much giving our grounds a more natural look for wildlife and the environment,feeding the birds,our English Country Garden is filled with wild flowers and is laid out in the old style.We are lucky to be able to source the most FANTASTIC LOCAL FOOD.

Others have been more challenging - like finding a environmental solution to washing laundry that still produces white sheets and recycled toilet paper that is soft enough four our guests.But wer`e getting there ! See our Environmental Policy Above For More Details.
