Hotel Environmental Policy

At Hatherley Manor we are committed to green hotel policies and the implementation of proactive measures to help protect and sustain the environment for future generations.

We recognise the impact of our operations on the environment and aim to be an increasingly efficient green and environmental hotel. We strive to minimise any detrimental effects as a result of our business.

By working together we can contribute to making a cleaner and safer environment and ensure environmental issues remain a focal point and receive proper attention.
