At Fraoch House, we try to recycle as much as possible and to use electricity
wisely. We compost and recycle all recyclable waste.
We also ask our guests to let us know when they would like their towels
changed and hang out our washing in the garden, weather permitting, or
dry it indoors in quieter times.
We use low energy light bulbs including the harder to source low energy
spot lights.
We hope to build on these measures in the future to try and make Fraoch
House more energy efficient.
Our recent extension was built with thermo blocks which reduces our heating
requirements considerably
