Eco Story

Doing our bit to use the Earth’s resources more intelligently
while offering you a superb eco holiday

It seems obvious that we should look after our planet, make the best use of natural resources, and share our good fortune with others via our eco holiday ethos. We not only want to inspire the younger generation to look after wildlife but also look to make them conscious of not taking the environment for granted through interacting in fun ways at Croft Farm. Recently we were awarded the Green Tourism’s prestigious Silver Award for our commitment towards going green!

We are not where we would like to be, there will always be more to do. However here are current ways we put our sustainable vision for your eco holiday into practice:

  • All central heating and hot water for the on-site cottages is provided by the wood pellet Biomass boiler heating system.
  • The indoor swimming pool and leisure building are heated by the wood pellet biomass boiler system.
  • Solar panels to provide 22kw of energy to the site.
  • We have replaced every light bulb throughout the property with an LED equivalent.
  • We encourage the use of the recycling bins provided on-site to minimize landfill waste.
  • Vegetable and fruit waste can be either fed to the pigs or composted for use in the garden.
  • The hot water tanks installed in 2016 can tie in with solar thermal panels in the future.
  • Reclaimed building materials are used where possible: We have reclaimed floorboards, roof slates, slate slabs, wooden doors and the mantelpiece in Croft House .
  • Reusable shopping bags are provided in each cottage to help reduce the need for buying plastic bags whilst shopping during your eco holiday.
  • We continue to invest 10% of our annual turnover into environmentally friendly practices, maintaining our position as a leading sustainable tourism business in Pembrokeshire.
  • Animal feed is sourced locally through the local farmers’ co-op.
  • Logs for the wood burners used during your eco holiday are sourced within a 25-mile radius.
  • The majority of the hay and straw used for the animals’ shelters is locally sourced, within 10 miles.
  • Animals on the farm have been bought within a 10-mile circle, if not born and raised at Croft Farm.
  • We encourage guests to use local farmers markets and the local growers in St Dogmaels for fresh produce during your eco holiday. All food there is freshly nurtured in this corner of West Wales.
  • Every year we plant an additional 2 trees at Croft.

Our long-term vision is to continue to work towards becoming carbon neutral by 2030. This may be a bit of a pipe dream;
however, we seek to invest in some of the following in the future to help this become a reality:

  • Solar panels for the electric
  • Utilising the Tesla Powerwall for electricity storage
  • Create charging points for cars, where all electricity generated is renewable
  • The most ambitious is our idea of a wind turbine installation at the top of the property…
