Mission Statement
“Our aim is to ensure our guests enjoy the many unique attributes DARTMOOR has to offer whilst constantly seeking new ways to reduce our CARBON FOOTPRINT and minimise any harmful effects our enterprise may have on the environment, thereby demonstrating our commitment to preserving Dartmoor National Park for future generations.”

Successes & Accreditations
We are delighted to be a signatory to the “DARTMOOR CHARTER FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM” administered by Dartmoor National Park Authority. Sustainable tourism is about meeting the needs of visitors, businesses & communities whilst safeguarding, conserving & enhancing the special qualities of Dartmoor. To obtain full Charter status (which we have done) businesses must achieve agreed actions working with Dartmoor National Park Authority and we are proud to display their logo.

We also have a GOLD AWARD from the ‘GREEN TOURISM BUSINESS SCHEME’; their highest possible accolade thereby demonstrating excellence in ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICE. Green tourism is a term used to describe best environmental practice within the tourism sector. It covers issues such as business efficiency, environmental management, waste, transport, as well as topics like social responsibility and biodiversity. If you would like to know more about the GREEN TOURISM BUSINESS SCHEME then please visit www.green-business.co.uk Following this we have both completed a course in “Managing your Environmental Responsibilities” administered by IOSH(Institute of Occupational Safety & Health).
