 GREEN FEATURES 

The Blue Seas owners, Arnaud and Fiona Ruetsch, say they have been conscious of the hotel’s impact on the environment since they took it over in 2001.

Wherever possible organic, rainforest alliance and fair trade products are sourced locally. Renewable electricity and also gas is purchased from RSPB energy. Electricity consumption has been reduced thanks to low energy lighting and switching off unused devices.

To save water flow reducers have been fitted on taps where possible, more efficient tanks in toilets, and showers to replace baths. Most cleaning products are environmentally friendly and eco-balls are used for washing and drying.

Attempts are made to reduce waste with bulk purchasing to minimise packaging, recycling (bags are provided for this in bedrooms) and kitchen waste is composted and only recycled paper is used for stationary, napkins and toilet paper.

As a result of its efforts the hotel has received a gold award for and there are hopes to install a solar hot water system and fit double glazing at the front of the building.
