A Greener Future | Stonehouse Court's Commitment to Sustainability
At Stonehouse Court Hotel, we’re passionate about preserving our beautiful surroundings and making a positive impact on the planet. As a 17th-century manor house nestled in the Stroud Valley, we take pride in blending history with modern sustainability, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy the beauty of our hotel and the Cotswolds.
Solar power: harnessing energy for a brighter tomorrow
We’re thrilled to announce the installation of 82 integrated solar panels on the East and South sides of our Caroline Suite. This exciting project, carried out by local experts Cotswold Energy Group, will generate 11% of our electricity needs – a significant step towards reducing our carbon footprint. As a Grade II listed building, securing planning permission from English Heritage was no small feat, making this milestone even more rewarding.
EV charging: powering sustainable travel
With the rise of electric vehicles, we’ve expanded our EV charging facilities to cater to eco-conscious travellers. Our new 22kWh charging stations, located across four parking bays near the main building, provide a faster and more convenient charging option. Our existing 7.4kWh charger remains available, ensuring all guests have the flexibility they need, whether stopping by for a short visit or staying overnight.
More sustainable steps
Sustainability isn’t just a trend for us – it’s a commitment. In addition to our solar and EV projects, we’ve taken several steps to make Stonehouse Court a greener destination:
Energy-efficient boilers, upgrading to more sustainable heating systems.
100% renewable electricity, powering our hotel with cleaner energy sources.
LED lighting, 95% of our lights are energy-efficient, reducing overall consumption.
Recycling and waste minimisation, including an on-site bottling system to reduce plastic waste.
Green Tourism Silver Award, a testament to our dedication to eco-friendly hospitality.
Sustainable luxury, small changes, big impact
We’re also proud to partner with Nespresso in our Little Court bedrooms, and we plan to extend this initiative to the Manor. This collaboration ensures our coffee offering aligns with sustainable practices while maintaining the high-quality experience our guests expect.
