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.
Warm, cosy & comfortable. Perfect size for myself, my teenager and our cairn terrier. Well equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay. Amazing location, it's so easy to visit Lindisfarne, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnwick etc. Friendly welcoming owner who left us a lovely welcome pack and treats for our dog. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, this was our second stay here and we've already booked for next year!
