Fresh Produce from Our Vegetable Garden
Our on-site vegetable garden and orchard is a source of pride and a key component of our sustainability efforts. We grow a variety of fruit, vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers. This allows us to serve fresh, organic ingredients in our kitchen, reducing food miles and supporting a farm-to-table dining experience.
OUR EFFORTSSustainability
At Park Farm Hotel we are deeply committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability. We have implemented a range of eco-friendly initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint, conserve resources, and promote a healthier planet. Here’s a look at the green efforts that make our hotel a sustainable haven for our guests…

Dedicated Wildlife Areas
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our hotel grounds. We have set aside areas on our surrounding 200 acres of farmland to encourage wildlife, as-well as introducing ponds and maintaining woodland areas. These habitats support local biodiversity, providing a sanctuary for various plant and animal species, and contributing to the overall health of our environment. Keep an eye out for our resident herd of deer!

Additionally, all products are suitable for vegetarians, with 76% of the range being suitable for vegans. Temple Spa also ensures that any palm oil used in their products is sourced from wholly sustainable sources.

Biomass Boilers for Heating
We use state-of-the-art biomass boilers to provide the heating for our entire building and hot water supply. Biomass energy is a sustainable alternative to traditional heating methods, utilising organic materials to produce heat in an environmentally friendly manner.

Sustainable Water Supply with Borehole Water
We have invested in a borehole water system that supplies a large portion of the water used in our hotel. This system allows us to tap into natural underground water sources, reducing our dependence on municipal water supplies and ensuring a sustainable and reliable source of water for our guests.

EV Car Charging Points
We are excited to announce we have begun the installation of four electric vehicle (EV) charging points for our residents. These charging stations will make it convenient for guests to charge their electric cars, supporting our commitment to promoting eco-friendly transportation and reducing carbon emissions.

Harnessing Solar Energy
We are proud to have a dedicated section of our field allocated to a solar array. This solar power system provides a significant portion of our energy needs, ensuring that much of the electricity used in our hotel is sourced from renewable energy. By harnessing the power of the sun, we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and minimize our carbon emissions.
-
Comprehensive Recycling Program
We believe in the importance of recycling to reduce waste and conserve resources. We recycle all paper, cardboard, glass bottles and plastics including our in room toiletries. Our comprehensive recycling program ensures that these materials are diverted from landfills and processed for reuse.
-
Energy-Efficient Lighting and Appliances
We have installed energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the hotel and use energy-saving appliances in our kitchens and guest rooms. These measures significantly reduce our overall energy consumption.

Opt-Out Housekeeping Program
To further our efforts in conserving resources, we offer an opt-out housekeeping program. If you prefer not to have your room cleaned daily, simply let us know. By opting out, you help us conserve water and reduce the use of cleaning chemicals, minimising the environmental impact of unnecessary washing of towels and linens.
