Comment: In October 2006 the hotel became the first in the UK to be given the ISO14001 environmental accreditation. This was achieved by drawing up a long term plan to reduce the amount of waste it produces and to increase the amount of recycling it carries out. At the time of accreditation the hotel was recycling 20% of all its waste. The hotel also won a totally separate award of the 'Customer Management - National Customer Service Award 2006'.
