Our environment, our story

How are we achieving our goals?
Such a good question. For a start, we are looking at our practices on a daily basis and look at sourcing more environmentally friendly product for our rooms and guests, for example;
-
Changing our linen to a pure green towelling product – made from regenerated cotton fibre waste
-
Removing single-use plastic bin liners from our rooms and daily use
-
Replacing the single-use toiletries with sustainable friendly dispensers in each room
-
Investigating “Green Cleaning” – utilising bio-enzymatic cleaners that protect our Employees health as well as the environment
