We at The Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel are committed to minimising the environmental impact of all our activities.

Actions taken by the hotel include:

• Our electricity is generated from 100% clean renewable sources
• Low energy lighting throughout, with timers where appropriate
• Glass, cans, plastic bottles, paper, cardboard etc. is collected for recycling and all appropriate kitchen waste composted
• Wherever possible, local, fair trade and organic products are used
• Recycled paper is used in all stationery as well as for toilet tissues
• Heating for communal areas is provided by a new super efficient (2006) condensing oil fired boiler
• 250mm of loft insulation installed throughout the building
• 10% discount to any guests who arrive by foot, bicycle or public transport
• 5% discount to guests who arrive by car, are staying for 3 nights or more, and who surrender their car keys for the duration of their stay

Guests can help us by:

• Re-using towels where possible
• Turning off lights/television and closing curtains, depending on the season, when you leave your room
• Turning down room heating if it is too hot or if you are leaving the room

Suggestions on how we can improve our environmental performance are most welcome.
