Glastonbury B & B accommodation, England
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
We use energy efficient light bulbs and turn off lights and equipment when not in use, any new equipment brought is energy efficient. We have two water butts, one of which is attached to the bath water, as although most of the rooms have en-suite electric showers we do have a bath for guest use. When toilets and taps are replaced then half flush cisterns and low flow taps are installed. A large number of the cleaning products we use are eco-friendly.
We have a beautiful garden and use mainly green products, composting garden waste, kitchen waste is either fed to the badgers if they are visiting or passed to the communal waste recycling system. Cardboard, glass, newspapers, fabric, wood products and metal are all recycled we only use the occasional carrier bag and these are recycled or given to local shops. In 2011 we received a Highly Commended Gold Star Award and a Highly Commended Carbon Footprint Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme
Community
Michael has been a chief mover in Glastonbury Lets and Time Bank groups having been a member for well over 10 years. Obviously in a small town community where possible we employ local staff, local trades people and source local food where appropriate. Michael is a trustee of Glastonbury First a local charity which supports local community groups. Our room browsers contain details of places to visit, local restaurants and local services.
