Atlantis Holiday Apartments Green Policy  

We will endeavour to ensure, as far as possible, that our activities have minimal impact upon the environment. We encourage our guests to be environmentally aware through initiatives such as

recycling, energy efficiency, and the purchase of environmentally friendly products. 

We support, use and promote local produce, food, drink & crafts.

Water & Energy conservation

We use energy efficient light bulbs, lower temperatures & switch off lights in unoccupied rooms.

Movement sensors are used for lights in communal areas.

Loft spaces are insulated and we have double glazed windows.

Fridges, washing machines and dishwashers are all eco-friendly and are A & B rated.

We are reducing water usage by installing dual flush cisterns and water saving devices in the older

cisterns; we will be using a water butt for watering flowers. We have installed a cover over the

swimming pool which has reduced our heating and chemical costs. We will promote and support

local environmental projects e.g. Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust.

Reduce waste by recycling everything possible.

Glass, tins, aluminium, paper & plastics are recycled. We give clothes to charity shops,

use refillable soap dispensers and re-use margarine and ice cream tubs as storage containers.

We utilize scrap paper for note paper and re-use old envelopes where suitable.

 Purchasing

We aim to use Eco-friendly cleaning products and avoid purchasing products with unnecessary

packaging. We encourage our guests to use the local Co-op store who stock a range of Fair Trade products. After nearly four years without a car we have recently had to purchase a vehicle.

We only use the car for occasional journeys and prefer to walk whenever possible.

Customer experience

Atlantis is a non-smoking establishment. A supply of visitor information on attractions, places to visit,

walks and bus timetables are available for guests. Atlantis offers secure parking for cyclists.

We welcome any suggestions about how our environmental policy can be further improved.

Wildlife

We will promote and encourage wildlife, flora & fauna at Atlantis. We have erected nesting boxes

and a feeding table. We will have additional reference information on wildlife available for visitors.
