All Green at Careys
 |
At Careys Manor we are committed to doing as much as we can to help protect our environment. In May 2007 we were awarded Gold by the Green Tourism Business Scheme for Excellence in Environmental Practice and we are also members of the Considerate Hoteliers Association. We are undertaking a number of activities to ensure that the hotel and spa is as ‘green’ as possible and actively promote green tourism by encouraging our guests to travel car-free. |
In January 2007 Careys Manor launched the "Green Team", a group of employees which meets once a month to initiate and facilitate environmentally friendly policies throughout the business.
