Bookham lake maintenance
Over the winter we have pruned the willow on the island, opening up the lake at Bookham Court holiday cottages. We used a boat to haul the trimmed willow from the island. This picture is before major pruning.
Reducing our Carbon Footprint
With the help of Low Carbon Dorset and the European Regional Development Fund we have installed LED lighting and numerous other carbon reducing measures in all our holiday cottages. As a result, we will be saving a large amount of CO2 from the Dorset air each year.
