We try to do our bit at Westview and would like to share our thoughts with our guests

Our B&B Green Page- Environmental and Ethical Policy

At Westview Guesthouse we are committed to working in a sustainable way. We have been awarded Gold by the Green Tourism Business Scheme.

We endeavour to recycle & reuse as much as possible, and buy products with the least packaging, and recycled products, and use local food producers, butchers and suppliers.

Our house is well insulated and has been awarded an energy rating of B. All rooms have individual thermostatic controls to ensure heat is provided when required on a room by room basis. Advanced control systems exist to monitor and control the heating and hot water system.

We have public transport and bike hire information for guests and can provide you with walks from the door so you can give your car a rest.

Recycle - All paper, card, glass, plastic , cans, garden waste, inkjet/toner cartridges and mobile phones are recycled. We support social economy organisations and charity shops to recycle materials as appropriate. We compost our kitchen waste.

Purchase Fair Trade and Environmentally Sound Goods - We provide environmentally friendly toiletry products, use fair trade products where possible and source as many purchases as possible locally,

Minimize Use of Energy, Water & Other Resources - For example lights and equipment are switched on only when needed. Energy saving bulbs and low flush toilets are used. Our windows have been double glazed and our loft and wall spaces insulated. The dishwasher and washing machine are A rated.

Future plans - We are continually looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact, however small or large they may be. We will continue to monitoring water and energy consumption to help this.
