Sustainability at Well Furlong
Well Furlong Retreats Sustainability & Green Initiatives
We try to live our lives and deliver to our guests spoiling and luxury holidays in sustainable and eco-friendly retreats with a particular focus on improving and rewilding the small organic 80 acres of private land that we are lucky enough to live in.
We have Green Tourism accreditation and are committed to improving our green initiatives wherever possible at Well Furlong Retreats.
Here are some of our initiatives:
Wild flower meadows planting of approximately 10 acres of farm land around the retreats
