Saddlers B&B in West Sussex makes environmental responsibility a cornerstone of their operations, leading to an array of sustainable practices that guests will appreciate. For starters, the kitchen garden is free of pesticides, ensuring all homegrown food is organic. Their rich soil supports a burgeoning garden that even hosts fruit-bearing pear trees and a grapevine, all contributing to a healthy ecosystem where bees and butterflies thrive. A special delight is the locally sourced honey, which guests are invited to sample during breakfast.
The B&B also champions local commerce by sourcing breakfast meats from nearby Adsdean Farm, reducing food miles and supporting local farming. Waste management is a top priority, with on-site composting systems in place to recycle all compostable kitchen waste. Beyond this, Saddlers partners with local waste management organizations known for their environmental commitment and resource efficiency. In the bedrooms, single-use plastics are shunned in favor of refillable bottles for bathroom products, with the organic offerings of the award-winning British skincare company, Temple Spa. It's a blend of sustainable comfort at Saddlers B&B that aligns beautifully with the needs of the environmentally conscious traveler.
