We do our best to protect the environment and offer you the opportunity to recycle your waste during your stay at Coorie Doon.

All our appliances are A grade efficiency or higher wherever possible and all our lights use energy efficient bulbs, even outside.

External lights are all fitted with motion +/or daylight sensors and the cabin is well insulated throughout on floors, walls, ceilings and even the drying room. Controls are in place for all heating.

We aim to minimise packaging and waste and so provide you with liquid hand soap and individual shower soap cubes. We also provide individual solid shampoo cubes which you just might find fun enough to buy.

We “recycle” books and hotel sized toiletries with all donations being made to your choice of either the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team or the RNLI.

The cabin is constructed from renewable source timber and recycled aggregate and soil was used during the build.

Our ornamental pond was constructed using recycled soil from a nearby building project and is kept clean using a bio culture filter, oxygenating plants and a mix of fish varieties.

In landscaping Coorie Doon, we have planted only indigenous species and aim to attract as much and as varied forms of wildlife as possible. To this end, we planted over 200, mixed varieties of locally sourced Willow trees.

As you will see when you visit, Coorie Doon was designed to fit in between the already established Holly Tree to the rear and Willow Tree to the front and we’re delighted to say this was done with the minimum of disturbance to either. Our blackbirds continue to nest in the Holly and the Hawk Moth thrives on the Willow.
