Fly the Flag For Ethical Tourism…
As we live in our traditional B&B, we are part of the community and aim to contribute to a sustainable industry by flying the flag for ethical tourism – we are not investors from abroad nor property agents trying to let out a room or two. Consequently, we are unique and hope that our personalities shine through in what we offer.
Animal friendly
We strive to source ethical choices and animal-friendly products in every aspect of what we do. As a result, see our breakfast page for more information about our food supply.
Recycle
Also, our toilet paper is made from recycled bamboo. “Who gives a Crap” supplies our rolls and are plastic-free. We chose them because this amazing company spends half their profits on creating toilet facilities for third world communities. Besides, our dog loves using the inners and wrappers for toys!
We invite all our guests to separate their rubbish so we can recycle their glass, plastic and cardboard.
Eco-friendly shampoo
We aim to provide toiletries with a low impact on the environment. Our shampoo/body-wash is vegan, cruelty free and made in the UK. Using bulk refills helps to reduce waste by avoiding the supply and distribution of small plastic bottles.
- The haircare and personal care industries widely use SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES) to help with foaming and lathering. SLS and SLES can strip hair of its beneficial natural oils and this may irritate already sensitive scalps.
- Many companies use Parabens as preservatives to prevent the growth of fungi, bacteria and mould in formulas. Because there is some debate about their safe use, we chose a product that uses natural preservatives.)
Attaining more sustainability may come from making decisions not just based on profit. Therefore, we try to consider costs and benefits based on the environment too.
Hopefully, this contributes to a positive and responsible tourism experience.
