We encourage people to travel sustainably wherever possible and there are electric car charging points across the Estate to support this. Many of our eco-friendly holiday homes come with their own EV charging points and we are delighted to see more homeowners choosing this option. We are also fortunate to be based less than 4 miles away from Kemble railway station. If you would like to visit us by train, we may be able to collect you from the station by electric vehicle, depending on your arrival time.

When you book a holiday through Habitat Escapes for Lower Mill Estate, you will be given the option to offset the carbon footprint of your holiday journey by donating £3. Every £3 will plant six new trees and regift 30p to a good cause local to the Estate.

Ballihoo, our on-site restaurant, is a field-to-fork restaurant that prioritises the use of locally sourced ingredients and fresh produce, including from our on-site allotment. This commitment is reflected in our ever-evolving seasonal menu, as we aim to minimise our impact on the environment where possible. 

Our hard-working grounds team also use the allotment to recycle many of our natural materials, such as fallen leaves and vegetable peelings, which in turn helps our food to flourish. We also work with local businesses such as Cotswolds Lakes Brewing Co who donate leftover grains for our compost after they have finished the brewing process.
