GREEN TOURISM POLICY

We are a member of the Green Tourism Business Scheme and as such we are committed to good environmental practices and sustainable development. We meet the minimum legal requirements related to environmental protection and waste disposal and aim to minimise our impact and maximise the positive aspects that we have on the environment. We support sustainable tourism through activities in economic social and environmental issues.

We are demonstrating our commitment in practice through the following activities:

• Have a combined heat and power unit to produce energy efficiently
• Have established a green team to adopt good practices in green issues
• Have a no smoking policy throughout for health and cleanliness
• Support local artists
• Recycle paper and fluorescent tubes and use recharge batteries
• Considering a wood burner to reduce our carbon footprint.

You can help us in our endeavours by:

• Helping us recycle paper etc
• Use local bus or cycle to give the car a day off
• Encouraging us to be more eco friendly
• Complying with our towel policy

The above activities are just a small sample of the good practices being undertaken to minimise our damage to our planet. They are taken from 120 measures that make up the Green tourism award. More information can be obtained from:
