Shortlist Surprise

29/5/2013

By now the few who may be reading this blog will know that we are pretty passionate about living sustainably. We're not fanatics, but we do try our best, and of course we do fail because in this modern world nobody can be perfect. From the start in 2012 we were though always intent on getting a Green Tourism rating and we were delighted when, on our first attempt, we hit gold (see an earlier blog post)!
Well now - and completely to our surprise - we gather Gorge View Cottage has been short-lived for the annual Green Tourism GOLDSTAR awards (all supported by the Green Tourism Business Scheme), in the self-catering category. All very exciting and we're delighted to be recognised in this way. I gather we are up against seven other gold-rated self-catering establishments and we'd like to acknowledge them all (see the end of this blog). Sometime in November we'll learn who wins the 2013 GOLDSTAR award, and in the meantime we'll continue to try and improve Gorge View Cottage in all aspects sustainable (which we would be doing anyway). 
You maybe interested in many other categories and those short-listed. They should be shortly up on the Green Tourism GOLDSTAR Facebook page.
