Wildlife Wellness

Despite being in a central localcation of Winchester city centre, we are commited to helping the local wildlife. 

We have installed bird boxes in tree surrounding the hotel to offer a safe a comfortable nesting space. 

We have also implemented a "bug hotel" welcoming smaller guests to assist with nature conservation and encourage biodiversity. 

Green Key Team

In 2023 we formed a Green Team and set about reviewing and enhancing our sustainability efforts, to enable the hotel to achieve the Green Key accreditation.

The team have made a great start in implementing initiatives to kick off our green journey. 

Green Key

Green Key is an international eco-label for tourism facilities.

Since 1994, Green Key has been a leading standard of excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism industry.

The Green Key programme is run internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education. In England it is managed by the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.

Green Key provides a well-proven framework for an establishment to work with its environmental management on sustainability issues, including awareness raising.

The high environmental standards expected of these establishments are maintained through rigorous documentation and frequent on-site audits.

For guests, a Green Key shows that the establishment is committed to reducing the environmental impact of their stay.

The Green Key programme is aligned with the UNSDGS - Sustainable Development Goals 2015-2030 addressed by the United Nations.
