Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

The owners had left us a note to explain about a problem with the TV and when we experienced a further issue they replaced the TV immediately. Left with plenty of privacy to enjoy it and the provision of a hot tub added to our stay. The welcome pack was provided with plenty of thought and the added touches of providing dog bowls and towels was really appreciated.
We would definitely stay there again, we like our home comforts so that speaks volumes from us!

"We had a lovely relaxing time at The Coach House!"
The area is very quiet and peaceful which was exactly what we needed. The suggested walks were excellent. We did the Badbury Rings trail and it was good exercise plus a good walk to clear busy minds.
We did also go to the Witchampton & Crichel Club for Fish & Chips on Wednesday night and the portions were indeed huge.
The kitchen was nicely stocked with the bare necessities (sugar, tea bags, instant coffee, salt, pepper, cooking oil + all the crockery & cutlery and a cafetiere!)
If food supplies are required, it's best to go the Waitrose in Wimborne which is about 5 miles away.
But all these recommendations are in a very well prepared handbook.
Above all, the welcome hamper & fresh hen eggs were thoughtful and lovely touch.
We had an amazing stay!
