We get through a lot of energy and water which can produce large volumes of waste. In order to be more environmentally efficient we have carried out the following:
- We have signed up to EDF Energy's ‘Green Tariff' which replaces the units of electricity we use with electricity from a renewable source such as the turbines that can be seen at Scroby Sands.
- Light bulbs have been changed in the public areas and in the majority of rooms for energy efficient bulbs or dimmer switches.
- Toilets that don't already have a 6 litre flush as standard, have been fitted with a ‘HIPPO' which will save up to three litres per flush.
- Where possible, food used is from local producers, or producers within the UK to minimise the road miles.
- Using small airtight containers to contain loose tea bags, coffee and sugar (where possible) on your hospitality tray, bottled water, single portion milk or fresh milk in a jug as required.
- Replaced ‘single use' toiletries with pump dispensers to reduce waste - using better, more natural and more environmentally friendlier products (Faith in Nature - see links page).
- Using environmentally friendly cleaning products.
We hope that you will join us in trying to reduce the impact we can have on the environment by doing the following:
- Switching off all lights in your room that you are not using and making sure the television is switched off before you leave the room as well as any taps or showers.
- Re-using your towels for the duration of your stay if after 4 nights you require fresh towels, please leave them in the shower cubicle or bath. Additional towels or more frequent changes will be charged at £2.50 per towel.
- Bed linen is normally changed after four nights on a long stay. If your stay is longer and you are happy to keep the same bed linen for the duration of your stay, please let us know.
- Our radiators are set to approximately 19'c during the winter, however we accept that some people feel the chill more than others. Our radiators are all thermostatically controlled, and can be adjusted to the desired temperature - 5 being the hottest (approximately 28-30'c) and 0 being turned off.
