Eco-Smart Initiatives
Eco-friendly practices to date include the reduction of single use plastics. In particular changing the guest’s key cards from plastic to wooden, removing plastic bottles & straws from our bars, offering bamboo toothbrushes, to introducing environmentally refillable toiletries throughout guest and public bathrooms. Guests have embraced these efforts to go greener. They embrace using the dual-compartment bins in the bedrooms. Bins have one side designated for general waste and the other for recyclable materials. The recyclable waste is sorted into the appropriate collection bins by the hardworking housekeeping team at the end of their shift. This initiative has been highly successful, with enthusiastic participation from all staff members.
Three universal EV charging points have been installed for both guest and staff use. The Hotel fully champions local producers, particularly in the Maids Head bar.

Well done Maids Head Team another 5 Star trip advisor review about our historical Queen Elizabeth Suite and Afternoon Tea.

“Last November, our daughters treated my wife and I to a night in the Queen Elizabeth suite at the hotel, including dinner, and a trip round the city in one of the hotel’s vintage Bentleys. Everything exceeded expectations. The suite was amazing.
But more recently, a daughter treated the family to afternoon tea to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was a superb experience with a great variety of sandwiches, rolls, scones, cakes, etc. 4 grandchildren were bubbling with excitement throughout, and we would thoroughly recommend this historic hotel.”
