Sustainability

We continuously strive for sustainability and aim to minimize our impact on the environment.

That we are a bit secluded and that many people need to drive here is something we can’t change, but if you’re going to take the car, please consider carpooling. If you live closer, it’s a wonderful bike ride out here, where the road winds along the beautiful Lagmanshagasjön, which is an excellent swimming lake.

BELOW ARE SOME POINTS WE ARE WORKING ON REGARDING SUSTAINABILITY
  • We buy green electricity
  • We have installed solar cells that provide us with green electricity
  • We use local and locally grown ingredients as much as possible
  • We bake with cultured grains and sourdough
  • We compost and sort waste
  • We have water from our own well
  • We heat the premises with modern air/water heat pumps
  • We clean with nature-friendly cleaning agents in our accommodation

Our Commitment to Sustainability Efforts

At Erikson Cottage, we are more than just a retreat for those seeking solace in the nature of Western Sweden; we are also passionate advocates for a sustainable future. As an active participant in the Sustainability Leap for the tourism industry in Western Sweden, we are committed to leading the way towards more responsible tourism. Our heart beats for our planet and for our guests, which is reflected in everything we do.

By integrating sustainable practices into our daily operations – from running our accommodation to selecting food and the activities we offer – we strive to combine pleasure with environmental care. Our collaboration with other players in the region’s tourism industry is a step towards reducing our collective impact on the environment while also providing our guests with enriching experiences.

We at Erikson Cottage invite you to join us in our quest for a more sustainable future. By choosing us, your stay becomes not only a break from everyday life but also a part of a larger change. Discover a vacation where beauty, comfort, and sustainability go hand in hand, and where every small choice contributes to a greater difference for our planet.
