WINDERMERE’S Cedar Manor Hotel has been shortlisted in the final of the AA Eco Award of the Year.
Presented in recognition of a commitment to sustainability, the award winner will be announced at a celebration dinner in London later this month.
Hotels shortlisted have demonstrated that through good practice and policy they have made a positive contribution to reducing impact on the environment.
Co-owner Jonathan Kaye, who is a trustee, founder member and deputy chair of Nurture Lakeland, said: “We’re proud of our green credentials. We focus not only on energy but on doing the right thing for the environment, educating ourselves, our staff and guests.
“The key is that we think ‘environment’ when we do anything in the building: when we instruct builders and interior designer to do anything we remind them we want to cover every angle, from insulation, to regulating water flow, to using recycled underlay, lead-free paints, LED lighting, thermostatic heating controls, sustainable wood and above all, trying to keep it British and local, manufactured in the North West.”
