At the end of the day you can relax back at the lodge with a warming foot-spa while you’re waiting for your evening meal to be prepared from locally-sourced ingredients. Bothfeet was created as a haven for walkers and features passive solar design and cross ventilation to reduce the need for power generated cooling and heating. Volunteer opportunities can be arranged during your stay and these hands on activities allow you to get your hands dirty by weeding, seed collecting and propagating plants – a fantastic way to give something back to the local community.
