Gisborough Hall cleans up!

The team at Gisborough Hall has been working to keep the local area litter-free.

Staff organised a litter-pick around the hall to make sure it stays clean for guests and also members of the public around the hotel and local area.

Staff at the Gisborough Hall work to implement a range of procedures to continually reduce the hotel’s impact on the environment, such as LED lights throughout the site, recycling of all cardboard, paper, metal, plastics, glass and oil, composting all garden waste, the use of a Biomass heating system which utilises waste wood instead of raw timber to reduce delivery miles, the reduction of food miles by sourcing produce locally and planting native species and herbs for use in the kitchen within Gisborough Hall’s vast grounds.

For the last four years, the hotel has secured a Green Tourism Gold Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme, the world’s largest sustainable certification programme of its kind. The awards encourage and enable people to make sustainable choices that reduce their environmental impact when travelling for business or for leisure purposes.

Gisborough Hall is also one of TripAdvisor’s ‘Green Leader’ award holders in recognition of its commitment to environmentally-friendly practices.

Ruairidh Taylor, Hotel Manager Gisborough Hall said: “We’re very protective of our environment and there has been a noticeable increase in rubbish in public spaces outside of the hall as more people use the area in better weather.

“We’re keen to keep not just our grounds clean and tidy, but also the areas around the hall. A big thanks to everyone involved.”
