🌱 From Compost to Cottage Garden: Growing Sustainably at Cliff House
We often say you don’t need to go far to find something special here at Cliff House Holiday Cottages — and that includes what’s growing just outside our door.
Over the past few months, we’ve been quietly building up our eco-friendly gardening practices. From collecting food scraps and garden cuttings for compost to nurturing seedlings and harvesting rainwater, we’ve loved seeing our garden thrive — with a little help from nature and a lot of love from us.
In our latest video, you’ll spot:

It’s all part of our effort to garden more mindfully, reduce waste, and make Cliff House not just a beautiful place to visit, but a sustainable one too.
We know guests don’t come here just for a break — they come to slow down, reconnect, and maybe take away a few ideas for their own garden or lifestyle. Whether you’re relaxing under the trees or taking a stroll past our flower beds, we hope you feel a little bit of the care that goes into keeping Cliff House green — in every sense.
