Eco-Friendly Holiday Cottage in Devon – Sustainable Luxury

We donate 5% of our profits to Moor Trees, a local charity dedicated to planting native broadleaf trees on Dartmoor. You can even sponsor your own tree during your stay, helping to create a greener, thriving landscape for future generations.

Moorland View runs entirely on renewable energy, much of it generated by a nearby Dartmoor hydro-energy plant. By choosing us, you’re helping prevent 3.5 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere — that’s equivalent to planting 1,700 trees.

We avoid single-use plastics wherever possible. Our household essentials are topped up at a local eco-friendly Zero Waste shop in Moretonhampstead. Toiletries are provided in refillable jars, keeping plastic out of landfills.

Around 90% of guest waste from the cottage is recycled, including plastics, foil, cartons, and even Nespresso coffee pods. Our recycling practices help reduce landfill and protect Dartmoor’s natural beauty.

Our garden has been carefully planted with roses, lavender, honeysuckle, and catmint to support local bee populations. You can even sample the results in our neighbour’s Wildflower Honey, available from a small honesty box just opposite Moorland View.

We prioritise local, seasonal produce wherever possible. By sourcing locally, we reduce carbon emissions and support Devon businesses.

Most of our cleaning products are eco-friendly and palm-oil free. Where palm oil is used, it comes from sustainable sources, so you can enjoy a sparkling cottage without harming the planet.

Moorland View is decorated with vintage and locally crafted pieces, celebrating Devon’s artistic heritage. Moorland View’s owner Suzy Bennett has even authored a book about Dartmoor’s artisan community.

Our fires burn wood from fallen trees gathered from local farms – we never burn coal. This sustainable approach keeps you warm while respecting Dartmoor’s natural resources.
