🌿 Sustainability at The Oaks
At The Oaks, sustainability is a way of life. As guardians of this land, we believe in regeneration, not just preservation. We aim to nurture the earth, enrich our community, and offer guests meaningful, restorative experiences that linger long after their stay.
In recognition of this commitment, we are proud to have received the Gold Award from Green Tourism UK — the highest honour for sustainable travel and eco-friendly stays.
We’re passionate about encouraging local tourism, supporting the regional economy, and demonstrating how private land can be shared for the common good.

In addition to reducing our carbon impact, and enhancing our biodiversity, we also calculate and offset our carbon footprint using Carbon Footprint Ltd:
We ask that all our guests adhere to our sustainability code.
🌱 Biodiversity & Woodland Stewardship
Our 12-acre woodland is a living, breathing ecosystem — and we’re helping it thrive.
-
Annual tree planting of native species to sequester carbon and support resilience
-
Log piles, deadwood, and wildflower zones to foster microhabitats
-
Minimal light pollution to protect nocturnal species like bats and owls
-
Mixed orchard & woodland zones attract butterflies, fungi, deer, and birds
We also host bat walks and other nature-based activities to help guests engage with the land.
🐝 Bees, Bonbons & Our Orchard
Pollinators are at the heart of The Oaks.
-
We keep six active hives and are proud members of the British Beekeepers Association

Guests receive a jar of our honey and handmade honey infused chocolate bonbons — a sweet gift from the land
