    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.
