Sustainable Property
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.

A beautifully designed and built conversion, nicely furnished and decorated. It has spacious, comfortable rooms and two high quality bathrooms. The kitchen/diner is well equipped.
The owner, who live in the adjoining house, was friendly and welcoming and quickly sorted a few queries we had. We were welcomed with wine, cake and fresh flowers as well as bread, milk and eggs.
The property also enjoys a very attractive, well maintained garden equipped with all the necessary for alfresco dining.
The location is rural and quiet and in a very picturesque area of the Esk valley, quite remote but with reasonably short, scenic drives to Whitby, other parts of the coast or some of the bigger inland tourist spots.
Definitely recommended.
