Thank you for having us in the Tree Lodge. We felt so relaxed and at home. You really have a special place there. I am becoming addicted to real wood fires and compost toilets and greenery and birdsong....I could go on! We did not even use the lanterns, candles more than enough. Lovely place.
Hopefully you will let us return

Water

Spring water
Available opposite reception.
No mains water.
You can also bring your own and a container to refil.

Tested by Fife Council.

One of the key benefits of natural spring water is that 

it comes from water that flows to the surface from a clean underground water source.

Thus, the water is considered to be free of most contaminants

typically found in drinking water.

It also contains a level of minerals that is beneficial to health. 

Mineral-rich water will usually have a neutral or slightly alkaline pH.

 (last reading pH: 7.8, tds: 295 temp.6c)

Facilities - C0mpost toilet

Recycle bins

http://www.aselfsufficientlife.com/compost-toilet-the-sawdust-toilet.html

Toilet and washing up area.

Built to trees.

"The system is extremely simple. 

One bucket inside a wooden frame covered with a toilet seat. 

                                Each time a person ‘visits’ the sawdust toilet, sprinkle sawdust,

                                                                  then close the lid ".


                                                     It's emptied at least once a day.
                                                                  It doesn't smell.
