Think GREEN,
We can all make a difference
As a family and as a business we are committed to protecting our wonderful surroundings and its environment. We are aware that sustainable development is the most important issue facing our planet and the human race in general in the 21st century and to this end we will strive as a business to ensure we achieve the highest possible environmental quality in terms of services and products used, and all activities undertaken by Wigglesworth House & Cottages, whilst always maintaining our 5* Gold Grading Standard. Sustainable and green tourism protects the environment we live in, respects local cultures, supports communities, conserves natural resources and minimises pollution.
By joining Green Tourism we hope that this will give you a firm indication of our green credentials and sustainable working practice.
