A "Civilized" Green Hotel for Brits in the Country
The Green Travel Award nominations at the UK Times often include some of those rustic, roughin' it, super-green types of eco-hotels where you can't flush the toilet or need rubber boots to get to the dining hall.
But recently they suggested something much more civilized: Budock Vean Hotel, a country hotel near the Helford River in Cornwall, southwest England.
The Budock Vean (which has a kind of a subtitle: "The Hotel on the River") is a 59-room four-star hotel, complete with a 9-hole golf course, swimming pool, sauna, spa and tennis courts, but it's also good at being green. For example, it is careful to support local industry: 80% of the hotel's expenditure goes in to the local community.
