Living today, protecting tomorrow

The BEST WESTERN West Retford Hotel recognises the responsibility of our actions and activities and the wider impact this can have globally. Considering this we have put together our policy below to comply with all relevant legislation and to reduce our carbon footprint on the global environment.

As a business we are striving to make environmental and social impact best practice by reducing, reusing and recycling materials where possible.

Examples of this include:

• Recycling glass, cardboard and paper
• Using recycled paper where possible
• Using energy saving light bulbs
• Bedrooms fitted with electricity saving key operated activation points
• Corridors fitted with motion light sensors
• Bed linen & towel usage policy in each bedroom to reduce linen consumption
• Weekly tracking of energy consumption
• Bedrooms with independent thermostats
• Recycling of cooking oil through licensed contractors
• Dual flush toilets to save water
• Waste Water from guttering (via water butts) to water our gardens
• Where possible favour local suppliers to reduce transportation consumption
• Training of all staff to be more responsible and reduce their impact on the environment
• To employ local people where possible
• Supporting local charities and fundraising activities
• Limiting noise pollution
• Actively promoting public transportation and walking, cycling breaks

Help us to protect our future!

Access for everyone...

The BEST WESTERN West Retford Hotrel understands that every customer has different needs and we try to make our hotel facilities available and accessible to all of our guests equally. In rare instances where this is not possible we will endeavour to offer a range of facilities for guests with a perspective on disability including:

• Designated car parking, accessible entrance, WC, accessible bedrooms
• Induction loops can be arranged with advanced requests
• Assistance Dogs Welcome

Alterations made recently include incorporating ramps to the main entrance and accommodation. The downstairs toilet has been refitted disabled friendly and will also accommodate a wheelchair. As we are a listed building we are limited to the extent of our alterations by local authorities.
