We recognise the fact that the nature of our services results in an overall impact on the environment and that by conducting our business in a responsible and thoughtful manner, we can reduce this impact and act to improve the quality of the environment where appropriate. Have a look at our
Environmental Policy Statement for more details of our environmental commitment.
We have acheived
Gold in the
Green Tourism Business Scheme, an environmental award scheme which has helped businesses across Scotland in the tourist industry lessen their impact on the environment. Gold level means we have achieved 'excellence in environmental practise' by implementing the following measures:
- Recycling as much glass, plastic, paper, cardboard and cans as possible, including all the newspapers left behind in the bedrooms.
- Fitting all the standard lamps in the bedrooms and many more lights throughout the hotel with low energy bulbs to reduce our energy consumption.
- Water saving devices are fitted in the toilet cisterns and urinals and the bathrooms all have aerated taps, both of which help to save water in our hotel.
- Our Chef is proud to announce that the majority of the fruit and vegetables used in the restaurant are grown locally and at least 25% are organic, this is not only reflected in the quality of the dishes that we serve, but also greatly benefits the environment.
There are many more measures in place in the hotel and our committed 'Green Team' meet every month to discuss new ideas for expanding our efforts further.
Please contact the hotel's environmental manager Jeremy Hope if you have any queries or suggestions regarding our environmental efforts.
