The accommodation is as environmentally friendly as we've been able to make it!
Existing walls and features of the stables have been preserved and the original stone, slates and timbers have been used. The building has also been designed for low carbon emissions and high energy efficiency with the following main environmental features:
Biodegradable and recycled plastics and cleaning materials are used in the cottage, and recycling bins are provided.
The cottage has been equipped by buying locally and sustainably. All furniture and fittings come from 13 local suppliers (Dyfi Valley, Aberystwyth and Llanidloes), three other Wales suppliers, two Fairtrade suppliers, one organic, two recycled and two local suppliers of energy efficient lights and electrical goods.

The cottage is in the Dyfi Biosphere, an area including the nature reserves covering Ynyslas, Ynyshir, the Dyfi estuary, and the towns and villages in and around. Biosphere is the UNESCO title given in recognition of the diversity of the natural beauty, heritage and wildlife, and for the community's efforts to contribute to a more sustainable world. Yr Hen Stablau is contributing by respecting the environment, conserving energy, supporting local businesses and shops, encouraging visitors to enjoy and understand nature conservation, promoting knowledge of Welsh language, promoting local events, and providing beautiful accommodation.
