Sustainability at Lon Lodges


At Lon Lodges, we blend luxury accommodation with an unwavering commitment to preserving our environment. From the way our lodges are built to the experiences we offer, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Here’s how we’re creating an eco-friendly retreat for conscious travelers.


Built with Nature in Mind



Nestled on a traditional Radnorshire farm, our eco-friendly lodges are designed with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind. Built using timber frames and locally sourced Douglas Fir cladding, they blend natural materials with thoughtful construction. 



For over 50 years, the Pugh family has cared for this land, using traditional methods to preserve its natural beauty and nurture wildlife. A landscaped freshwater pond attracts diverse bird and wildlife species, while carefully maintained hedgerows protect vital habitats.

In collaboration with the RSPB, we’ve planted flower seed plots to draw rare birds like the Yellowhammer and 3000 native trees around the farm.hd Guests can immerse themselves in the countryside through guided nature trails, complete with detailed guides, and record their discoveries in the Lodge Nature Journal, creating lasting memories while connecting with the environment.


Eco-Friendly Living

At Lon Lodges, energy efficiency takes center stage with underfloor heating powered by a 93% efficient combi-boiler and individual room thermostats, ensuring optimal comfort while reducing environmental impact. This is further enhanced by high-grade insulation, double glazing, and low-energy lighting throughout the lodges.

Guests are encouraged to join our sustainability efforts through comprehensive recycling initiatives. Facilities are available for disposing of bulbs, batteries, and general waste, while kitchen scraps can be composted to enrich the garden soil. Clear guidance is provided for recycling paper, glass, plastics, and more, alongside the use of FSC-certified recycled toilet rolls and environmentally friendly toiletries.

For eco-conscious travelers, both Ash Lodge and Sycamore Lodge feature electric vehicle (EV) charging stations available at cost price, making sustainable travel both convenient and accessible.

Supporting the Local Community

Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the vibrant local culture and support the surrounding community. Fresh, seasonal produce is available from our local market shops, and organic hampers filled with local delights, including Welsh wine and Welsh chocolates, can be pre-ordered for a true taste of the area.



The local community offers a variety of experiences, from browsing charming shops and enjoying traditional pubs and restaurants to engaging in unique activities like Fungi Forays or attending performances at the Living Willow Shakespeare Theatre.

A Commitment to Green Tourism

As proud members of the Green Tourism Business Scheme, we are dedicated to continuously enhancing our environmental practices. We invite guests to calculate their carbon footprint using CO2balance.com, offering valuable insights into their eco-impact during their stay. 



Choose Lon Lodges for a getaway that combines luxury, relaxation, and the confidence that you’re contributing to the protection of the environment for future generations.
