Sustainability guides everything we do. From dedication to zero-waste practises and food and drink offerings being responsibly sourced, to taking strong steps against single-use plastics and investing in energy efficient systems, we’re devoted to reducing our environmental impact.
Our commitment doesn’t stop there. We proudly support local charities and good causes all year round, helping to strengthen the community that supports us. In true Welsh fashion, we believe in looking after one another, and that includes the land, the people and future generations to come.
