Responsible Tourism

Here at Alpine Park Cottages, we are actively engaged in reducing the negative environmental and social impacts of tourism. One of the simplest ways to be more sustainable is to reuse, recycle and reduce waste to help reduce their carbon footprint.

EV Charging Points

Guests can now recharge their electric cars on site.  Alpine Park Cottages has two 7.2kwh electric vehicle charging points which use 100% renewable electricity.  Thanks to our electric contract with Opus Advance, we are helping the UK to achieve its net-zero carbon emissions target.
