Contribute to a greener environment during your stay by choosing the Green Choice or Orange Choice option. When staying for at least two nights, you can choose to skip either the replacement of your towels or a full room cleaning. By doing so, you help contribute to the planting of a tree in the hills of Scotland.

For every two Orange Choices or every Green Choice, we plant a tree in the hills of Scotland. The difference lies in whether you choose to skip only the replacement of your towels or a full room cleaning during a stay of at least two nights. Will you help us?

Together, we can offset every overnight stay, dinner, meeting or journey.

For every bottle of water sold, we donate €1 to the Villa Joep Foundation. This foundation supports research into neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer. With your purchase, you contribute not only to a more sustainable world, but also to a better future for children fighting this disease.

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is the world's leading and most widely used method for assessing the sustainability performance of buildings.

A BREEAM assessment is based on recognised performance criteria that are measured against established benchmarks to evaluate a building's specifications, design, construction, and operation. The assessment covers a broad range of sustainability categories and criteria, from energy to ecology. These include energy and water consumption, the indoor environment (health and well-being), pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology, and management processes.
