GREEN FEATURES

The hotel’s environmental policy outlines its commitment to responsible and sustainable environmental management.

For instance it says it will take all practical measures to reduce waste by adopting an “eliminate, reduce, recycle” approach. It will manage energy through reduced consumption and greater efficiency. And it will encourage the use of public transport, cycling and walking for staff and guests alike.

In order to reduce food miles, support the local economy and provide the freshest food possible the restaurant uses local seasonal produce. The fish is predominantly caught in Cornish waters and has not left the county once on its journey to the plate. The meat is also sourced locally and the fruit, vegetables and herbs are from suppliers in Falmouth and Hayle. Dairy products are made locally. Self catering guests are also encouraged to choose local produce over supermarket fare during their stay.
