Energy Efficient Homes in Croyde – Sustainable Comfort at Ocean's Reach

Looking for a holiday place that won’t wreck the planet or your wallet? Our cottages and boutique hotels blend low‑energy design with seaside style, so you can relax without worrying about waste. From solar panels to smart thermostats, every detail is chosen to cut power use while keeping the space cozy.

Key Features of Our Energy Efficient Cottages

All of our properties use double‑glazed windows that keep heat in during chilly mornings and block it out on sunny afternoons. Insulated walls and lofts mean the rooms stay at a steady temperature, so the heating system runs only when it’s needed. LED lighting runs throughout, and motion sensors turn lights off automatically in empty rooms. Water‑saving taps and low‑flow showers slash water bills, and many units have rainwater harvesting for garden irrigation. We’ve also installed solar‑powered water heaters, so hot water comes from the sun, not the grid.

How to Make the Most of a Green Stay

When you book, ask for the property’s energy‑usage guide – it shows which appliances are most efficient and how to set the thermostat for comfort and savings. Use the provided recycling bins and follow the simple waste‑separation rules; we’ll handle the rest. Keep windows closed while the heating is on; a quick glance at the weather app can tell you if you’ll need extra warmth later. Take advantage of the outdoor spaces – many cottages have vegetable patches or compost bins where you can help turn food scraps into garden gold.

Staying green doesn’t mean you sacrifice luxury. Our rooms feature natural fabrics, reclaimed wood furniture, and large decks that let you enjoy the sea breeze. The low‑energy lighting creates a warm glow in the evenings, perfect for a glass of wine after a day on the beach. If you’re traveling with kids, the energy‑smart features are a great teaching tool – they’ll see how simple habits, like turning off a light, can make a difference.
