RESPECTING AND ENHANCING NATURE

Our approach to Sustainability

We strive to have a positive impact in everything we do, respecting nature and enhancing the health and well-being of families who choose to spend time at our natural Cotswold retreat.  We are one of the only estates in the UK to have been awarded Building with Nature status, thanks to our sensitive approach to sustainably developing holiday homes and being nature-inclusive

 

Everything we do works towards Habitat Zero, our pledge to deliver an environmentally-responsible, carbon-neutral business by 2030. 

SURROUNDED BY NATURAL BEAUTY

Our wildlife at Lower Mill Estate

Lower Mill Estate has been carefully converted into an ecological haven and supports thousands of species of flora and fauna, including otters, dormice and a stunning array of wild birds. Our expert ecology team work closely to retain and encourage new species, some of which are unique to the Cotswolds.

 

Each month presents new opportunities to get acquainted with the wildlife on site - see our conservation calendar to find out more about the diverse species at Lower Mill Estate.

BUILDING WITH NATURE

Eco-holiday homes

We are one of the only estates in the UK to be accredited with Building with Nature status, thanks to our sustainable approach. Formerly a barren quarry, Lower Mill Estate has also been cited as an example of best practice by Natural England for its approach to brownfield restoration and ecological regeneration.

Respecting nature and creating a positive impact

ECO-FRIENDLY

Sustainable travel at Lower Mill Estate

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.
