That means providing adequate bathroom facilities but not one per guest - so, sorry, no ensuite rooms!
We encourage less use of electricity by avoiding things that use it - our kitchen is not full of gadgets and our rooms don't have lots of table lamps.

"You recycle your empties and you've dabbled in organic apples but that's as far as it goes. Shelling out for an eco-holiday is maybe one step too far into tree-hugging territory.
Who wants to chew over Third World debt problems with a bunch of bio-bores in a leaky bamboo hut? You need a holiday not an endurance test.
But green holidays have come a long way. The last ten years has seen the beard and beads brigade replaced by switched on, shockingly normal entertainment seekers."
