Environmentally Conscious Travel Made Simple

Want a great holiday that doesn’t trash the planet? You don’t need a PhD in sustainability – just a few smart choices. At Ocean's Reach Retreats we’ve hand‑picked cottages, glamping tents, and tiny houses that let you relax while keeping your carbon footprint low.

Why Choose Green Stays?

First off, green properties save energy. Many of our cottages use LED lighting, solar hot water, and double‑glazed windows, so you stay warm without guzzling power. Second, they often sit on protected land, meaning the surrounding dunes, cliffs, and wildlife stay healthy. When you book a place that recycles, composts food waste, or offers refillable toiletries, you’re directly supporting those practices.

Another win: local sourcing. Eco‑friendly retreats buy fresh produce from nearby farms and hire local staff, which keeps money in the community and cuts food‑miles. That means you get tastier meals and a more authentic Croyde experience.

Practical Tips for an Eco‑Friendly Getaway

1. Pack light, pack smart. Every kilogram you carry adds up in fuel use. Stick to basics, use reusable water bottles, and bring a tote bag for market trips.

2. Choose walking or cycling. Croyde’s beach paths and village lanes are perfect for a stroll or bike ride. Most of our rentals provide bike racks, so you can explore without a car.

3. Turn off what you don’t need. Lights, heating, and appliances – switch them off when you leave the room. Most of our cottages have smart thermostats that remember your preferred temperature.

4. Respect the nature around you. Stay on marked trails, don’t pick wildflowers, and avoid feeding wildlife. Small actions protect the delicate coastal ecosystem.

5. Use the on‑site recycling bins. Separate paper, plastic, and glass. If you’re unsure, ask the host – they’ll point you to the right spot.

Finally, think about your stay length. A longer weekend at a nearby eco‑cottage often beats a week of flying to a far‑off resort. Less travel, more time to really soak in the sea breeze.Ready to book? Our selection of environmentally conscious cottages puts comfort and sustainability side by side. Whether you’re after a romantic beachfront cabin or a family‑friendly glamping pod, you’ll find a spot that works for you and the planet.

Give yourself a break, give the Earth a break – it’s a win‑win. Book your eco‑friendly retreat today and feel good about the footprints you leave behind.
