Ston Easton Park, an opulent country house hotel in Somerset, is setting the trend for forward-thinking hotels by investing in a series of sustainable initiatives.
The luxury manor house has recently implemented a range of innovative policies to help manage its carbon emissions and impact on the environment.
The grand country pile now boasts three Tesla electric charging points allowing guests to re-charge electric cars throughout the day and overnight. The hotel has also installed energy-efficient LED lights throughout its corridors to help conserve energy consumption.
With environmental responsibility at the heart of Ston Easton Park’s core values, the hotel will also be monitoring wastage by utilising a new six-step process specifically developed to minimise the amount of food waste generated.
The chefs at Ston Easton Park are passionate about home-grown and local produce and try to incorporate self-sufficiency into their delicious seasonal recipes. Fresh fruits and vegetables are hand-selected from the hotel’s original kitchen gardens before being expertly crafted into sumptuous dishes. Staff will also soon be welcoming a flock of chickens to the hotel to supply fresh eggs for the kitchen.
As a final touch, Ston Easton Park now use Molton Brown toiletries in all of their guest bathrooms, as the popular brand has been awarded the Leaping Bunny stamp of approval by Cruelty Free International.
