Green Policy

At Pettifers Hotel, we believe that sustainability and comfort can go hand in hand. Our commitment to the environment means that every guest can enjoy a relaxing retreat in the Cotswolds while knowing their stay supports a healthier planet. From energy-efficient practices to waste-reduction initiatives, we are proud to balance hospitality with responsibility.

We are also delighted to share that Pettifers has been awarded its first Silver Green Business Award, recognising our efforts to run the hotel in a more environmentally sustainable way.

Our Commitment

As owners of Pettifers Hotel, we recognise that every aspect of running a hospitality business has an environmental impact. Our mission is to understand those impacts fully, and to continually reduce the ones that are negative.

Through a responsible working culture, we encourage both staff and guests to take part in sustainable practices, ensuring our environmental commitment becomes part of everyday life at the hotel. We also remain aware of, and compliant with, all environmental legislation relevant to our business.

What We Do in Practice

Energy efficiency: We use energy-saving lighting and monitor our usage to reduce consumption year on year.
Responsible sourcing: Where possible, we source local produce for our kitchen to reduce food miles and support local suppliers.
Waste reduction: We minimise single-use plastics, encourage recycling, and look for innovative ways to cut unnecessary waste.
Sustainable housekeeping: We use eco-friendly cleaning products and encourage guests to reuse towels and linens during their stay.
Biodiversity awareness: Our rural location makes us mindful of the natural environment, and we work to maintain green spaces responsibly.

Our Aims

To understand our operational environmental impact and reduce it year on year.
To encourage staff to work in an environmentally responsible manner.
To use resources carefully while continuing to provide the high level of service our guests expect.

How Guests Can Help

We invite our guests to be part of this journey. Small actions such as reusing towels, reducing energy use, and supporting local businesses during your stay all contribute to a greener experience for everyone.
