        Certified Sustainable Hotel

        What do we mean by ‘sustainable’?

        This hotel has been assessed by an independent organisation that’s on ABTA’s (The Travel Association) list of accommodation sustainability certification bodies. Here are just a few example practices this hotel has to follow to be certified as sustainable:

        • Reduce energy, water and waste
        • Source products locally
        • Support local communities
        • Use reusable, returnable and recycled products
        We try to review our hotels every three months to make sure this information is up to date. If a hotel has the Certified Sustainable Hotel label, this means that at the time of booking, the hotel has met an official standard.
