Sustainable Practices

2 min read

We let nature take the lead at Finn Lough so sustainability is woven into every element to frame the beauty of our forested hideaway with design-led spaces and environmentally conscious practices.

We enlist local craftspeople to design and create beautiful spaces using local materials and traditional techniques to ensure we maintain the integrity of our surroundings.

Slow, sustainable food forms the cornerstone of our kitchen philosophy, with our on-site polytunnel and garden providing the bulk of our seasonal produce supplemented by local growers and producers.

We have elected to remove single-use products from our rooms, restaurant, and spa experience in a bid to reduce our waste wherever possible. We opted for upcycled gin bottles to dispense the handmade, organic Irish toiletries, our spa provides reusable Chilly’s water bottles and reusable aqua shoes for the trail, reusable metal straws are all you will find in the bar and we avoid single-use jars and pots in the restaurant at all costs.

Rainwater harvesting further complements our eco-conscious practices, powering our spa pools and reducing our reliance on municipal water supplies.

“Slow, sustainable food forms the cornerstone of our kitchen philosophy.”

How the kitchen works

Local materials, solar power and a garden that feeds the kitchen.

Solar Field

Our 150KW solar installation, with a total footprint is 37.7m (W) x55.8m (L), was installed in 2022, and has enabled us to harness the sun's energy, now generating around 60% of our energy needs.
