Julie and Stephen are proud to have been chosen as the pilot for the Green Tourism Business Scheme in Whitby and to have been awarded "Gold," the highest level of achievement.

At The Waverley  we are committed to being as green as possible and to do what we can to sustain both the environment and the local economy. Some of the steps we are taking are listed below. If you would like more information please feel free to ask us about our green commitment.
  • Most of our products are sourced locally and we have the vast majority of all our purchases delivered in order to avoid using the car.
  • We try to ensure that goods from further field are Fairtrade (e.g. tea, coffee, chocolate and sugar on your hospitality tray) or proved to be ethically sourced and sustainable.
  • CFL bulbs are used throughout to provide low energy lighting and help cut our carbon emissions.
  • We recycle everything possible.
  • We are fully committed to the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle way of thinking, and always looking to improve.
  • We have information on public transport, walking & cycling which means that our guests can leave their car parked up once they arrive. Check out our 7 Car Free Days.
