Awards
Here are our current award;
GOLD & SILVER award in Green Tourism
Businesses opting to join Green Tourism are assessed by a qualified grading advisor against a rigorous set of criteria, covering a range of areas, like energy and water efficiency, waste management, biodiversity and more. In September 2011 New Ing Lodge met the required standard to receive a Silver award. Following the installation of our new Bio Mass Boiler we were awarded reassessed and upgrade to the Gold Award in April 2013. Click here to see the full report.

Nurture Lakeland Outstanding Commitment to Responsible Tourism
In October 2012 we were awarded 'The Above & Beyond Award' by Nurture Lakeland, which recognises a business that integrates responsible tourism into numerous aspects of its operation. We have tirelessly worked to include responsible tourism initiatives in the renovation and restoration of our guest house, whether that be water saving devices, energy efficiency initiatives and biomass boilers, or the raising of our own pigs. Additionally, we also take part in Visitor Giving for Orton Community Woodland and we are strong ambassador for responsible tourism within its industry.
