Here at The Adelphi Guest House, we strongly believe we can help sustain our local environment by how we go about our everyday activities. We know a combination of small actions is as equally powerful as one large one when it comes to ecology and running an eco-friendly accommodation business.
We are proud to have adopted a number of regular habits that support our green ambitions:
- Where possible light fittings & lamps are fitted with low energy bulbs
- We change towels only at guests’ request
- We use refillable complimentary toiletries rather than takeaway miniatures
- All toilets have dual flush facility
- En-suite showers rather than baths save water consumption
- Room kettles are quick-boil with 0.7 litre capacity to reduce energy waste
- We wash on lowest possible temperatures
- Recycling waste bin contents where possible – glass, plastic, papers & tin
- We source our goods, services & kitchen ingredients locally
- We encourage full use of public transport and local cycle hire
In addition, we encourage our guests to participate and help achieve our aims by:
- Switching off unwanted lights and electrical equipment when not in use
- Not leaving the television on standby – even that uses lots of electricity
- Requesting towel changes only when necessarySetting room temperature thermostat to a comfortable level
- Turning off taps while cleaning teeth
- Leaving cars parked and travelling ‘green’
- Supporting local resort businesses
- Letting us know if there is anything more we can do
We know there is always more that can be done and endeavour to consider the environment whenever a purchasing decision must be made. Please join us and help with the environment
