Green Hotels and Green Places to Stay
Welcome to Greentraveller's unique collection of hundreds of green and gorgeous places to stay in the UK and Europe.
The recent flourishing of eco-consciousness has led to a huge rise in the number of green places to stay, from self-catering country cottages to luxury camps and plush city centre hotels. Standards of eco-friendliness vary enormously and to the casual eye it can be difficult to distinguish authentic places from those that are trying to cash in on the green wave. All of the places we feature have satisfied us that the owners are genuinely doing their bit to reduce their impact on the environment, see: How to tell if a hotel is green
The efforts of the owners of the places featured on greentraveller go much further than simply asking guests to put towels out for washing; many owners have invested in long-term energy saving technologies or developed their own ingenious methods for saving energy and water and dealing with waste in an environmentally friendly way.

"Behind every great place to stay are owners who work tirelessly to make it all happen. Martin and Deborah swapped the London rat race for this patch of Derbyshire six years ago and have created much more than simply a place to rest your head at night. Quietly green and incredibly relaxed, it’s a perfect place for an activity-packed family holiday or a relaxing getaway for two. "

"Upcott is a dream holiday home combining the comfort and style of a boutique hotel with the freedom and fun of self-catering. From bedrooms or terrace, you could be lost in the view for a lifetime. Inside, Liz and Mal’s eco-friendly renovation of the property has been done with such love and care that, whether the sun is sparkling off the ocean or the wind roaring through the trees, the house resonates a peaceful contentedness."
