If you’re looking for eco-conscious accommodation in Staffordshire, Eagle House Bed & Breakfast and Apartment in Eccleshall is the perfect choice. Our dedication to this area has recently won us the Bronze Award for Ethical, Responsible, and Sustainable Tourism from Enjoy Staffordshire. This recognition highlights our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, preserving the environment, and offering eco-friendly options for our guests. Here’s how Eagle House is having a positive impact, making it an ideal destination for eco-conscious travellers.

EV Charger – The Only One in the Area

We’re proud to be the only accommodation provider in the area offering an electric vehicle charger (EVC) for guests, making it easy for those who drive electric vehicles to recharge during their stay. Our EVC is part of our commitment to supporting sustainable transportation, helping reduce emissions, and providing convenience to travellers who want to lower their carbon footprint.

Sustainable Practices and Carbon Footprint Reduction

We’ve made significant investments in Eagle House to reduce our carbon footprint, from installing insulation, thermostats and secondary glazing to our 100% renewable electricity tariff. We’re continuously evaluating and improving our home to ensure we’re minimizing waste and conserving energy. By staying with us, guests can feel confident that they’re supporting a business that prioritises responsible energy use and sustainable practices.

Local Support: Helping Businesses and Community Groups Thrive

Supporting local businesses and community groups is a core part of our values. We source many of our ingredients from nearby shops and suppliers, contributing to the Staffordshire economy and reducing the carbon emissions associated with transportation. From using local produce in our kitchen to recommending local pubs, shops and experiences to our guests, we’re committed to building strong connections within our community.

On-Site Vegetable Garden and Recycling Programs

To provide fresh, homegrown ingredients and reduce food miles, we’ve established an on-site vegetable garden where we grow seasonal produce for our kitchen. Our garden allows us to serve flavourful, ingredients directly from our land, offering a true “garden-to-table” experience. In addition, we have extensive recycling programs in place, ensuring that as much waste as possible is diverted from landfills. This commitment to composting, recycling, and sustainable sourcing is central to our mission.

Green Dining Options: Dedicated Vegetarian and Vegan Menu

At Eagle House, we cater to a variety of dietary preferences with our dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu options. We’re passionate about offering delicious, plant-based meals that are as eco-friendly as they are satisfying. This approach not only provides our guests with fresh and healthy meals but also reduces the environmental impact associated with meat and dairy production.
