Big Holiday Beach Clean 2016

Cranmer Country Cottages are big on being green. We believe in the need to develop sustainable lifestyles and green tourism to address climate change and are committed to providing good quality and environmentally friendly holiday accommodation.

To that end, we wholeheartedly support Make Holidays Greener month and their Big Holiday Beach Clean campaign - with holidaymakers, travel companies and hotels encouraged to take part in the Big Holiday Beach Clean 2016 this July. This year, the campaign to raise awareness of more sustainable holidays will step up a gear and will be led by ABTA, with support from Travelife and the Travel Foundation.

The campaign is calling for more travel businesses to promote how people can take action to protect the local environment while on holiday, and for hotels to sign up for a beach clean as part of Make Holidays Greener month. Throughout the summer, holidaymakers will be encouraged to take care of the local environment and support local communities in holiday destinations.

We think that initiatives like this and the 2 Minute Beach Clean are fantastic campaigns that not only highlight the need for us all to be more environmentally aware when we are visiting often protected areas of our coast but give simple, practical ideas to how anyone can help.

MFMC at Cranmer Country Cottages

As well as our luxury holiday cottages being open year round for individual families and couples to enjoy we do, from time-to-time, rent out our whole site to large parties for get-togethers and celebrations.

We were recently joined by one such group who were celebrating 30 years as a club – MFMC.

MFMC are a group of 50 motorcyclists and one of their members flew in all the way from Canada to celebrate their anniversary!  They shared the cottages and a few members also stayed in classic camper vans in our grounds. They also hired The Green Room venue and courtyard areas and they dined on bespoke wood fired oven pizzas, salads and a few sherbets J - which we sourced locally and provided.

The group stayed with us on the Saturday night and took a ride out along our beautiful coast on the Sunday, before heading back to London.

Group member, Yasmin, said: “It was lovely to meet you both again and thank you so very much for hosting the party. We all had an absolutely fantastic time. The cottages and your location are stunning... you really do live in paradise, thanks for inviting us into your world.”
