- Alison Edwards writes: Phoenix Court is a comfortable and modern guest house overlooking Scarborough's beautiful North Bay. We love Scarborough and want visitors to enjoy it now and in the future, which is why we aim to be a green business and provide sustainable tourism. However, we also care about the planet as a whole and want people who supply goods to Britain to get a fair wage. This is why we use Fair Trade products wherever possible. All tea, coffee, hot chocolate and sugar used in rooms is Fairtrade. Breakfast coffee is now also Fairtrade.

Tel: 01947 604389 - "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."
Stephen & Julie write: "We choose to use Fairtrade as an ethical choice but only because we know that we get good quality and value for money, if the quality wasn’t acceptable we would soon know about it from our guests. Now it is becoming easier to source hospitality products that are Fairtrade and the price differential is small enough to not be a consideration and for some items Fairtrade can be cheaper than well known branded products. Consumers are becoming more aware of ethical issues and we like to let them know what we are doing."
Cheryl Potter writes: "We also include in our welcome packs Nescafé and Yorkshire tea. We supply a pint of Yorkshire milk and a carton of orange juice so I shall be on the hunt for Fairtrade orange juice too.
Although we aren't rated on the Green Tourism scheme, we try to do our bit on that side too.
The buildings were renovated to the highest levels of insulation. Whenever possible we have retyained original features and used reclaimed materials. We have low energy lights throughout, recycled underlay, and 80% wool carpets. Loo rolls are from recycled paper or sustainable source. Most products are ‘ecover’ type products. We find that the ‘ecover’ washing up liquid didn't really manage the greasy breakfast pans so now we supply ordinary washing up liquid but with a choice to have ‘ecover’ if preferred.
The hot water cylinder has provision for solar panels to be fitted to heat it. The water system was put in for provision of grey water to flush the loos. We also would love to put in a system to generate electricity using the water flowing through the mill, but unfortunately the cost is vast. A project for the future!"
