Be a Green Visitor

We understand that we have a responsibility to help protect and sustain the local, national and global environment. We take this responsibility very seriously and are already undertaking a number of energy saving measures in the hope of further diminishing our carbon footprint.

By working together as a team, we hope to increase awareness and understanding of these environmental issues to create a safe and clean environment for future generations.

We are undertaking the following actions to achieve this: –

• We ensure legal compliance with environmental legislation and codes of best practice
• We strive to continually improve our environmental and social performance
• We seek to reduce pollution, emissions and waste produced by the hotel
• We are reducing our consumption of energy, water and other resources
• We aim to increase awareness of environmental issues with all employees and guests
• We use locally sourced produce
• We liase with the local community
• We encourage the growth of biodiversity on our grounds and in the local area
• We have joined the Green Tourism Business Scheme as an indicator of our sustainable practices

 

We would like to ask you to help us!

 

GREEN VISITOR

There are a number of ways in which you, as a guest, can reduce the impact of your stay on the environment.

Here are a few suggestions:

• Reduce pollution – take a walk instead of a drive
• Reuse your towels and linen
• Turn the lights off when you leave the room
• Save electricity – try not to leave electrical equipment plugged in while out of the room – phone chargers still use electricity even if there is no phone to charge!
• Turn the TV off completely – being left on standby still uses electricity
• Conserve water – have a shower instead of a bath
• Make sure the taps are fully turned off and not dripping
• While you are here please buy local produce to support the local communities
• Respect the environment – please do not litter

 

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our standing as a Green Hotel please do not hesitate to voice them to a member of staff – we are always looking for new ideas!
