'Figaro' Japan (translated)
'An organic hotel that provides comfort and convenience - The hotel is obsessed with everything organic, situated right in the middle of Grasmere village. They even use organic linen and soaps. Architectural material is important to them – they have recycled roof beams in bedrooms. Breakfast is the kind walkers want – a magnificent buffet. And of course, the food is all organic and fair-trade. It is comfortable and charming.'
Harper's Bazaar
'Moss Grove Hotel Organic has all the trappings of a luxurious bolthole, yet nearly all of the food and drink - from the breakfast sausages to the chocolates and champagne - is organic. The paint throughout is clay-based and organic; sheep fleece was used for insulation; and beds are fashioned from recycled wood.'
BBC Olive Magazine
'Every detail has been considered to make it as sustainable and environmentally
friendly as possible, including the huge beds handmade from reclaimed
timber and leather, wallpaper printed with natural inks, low-voltage
lighting, organic, local or Fairtrade produce, and recycling'.
Which? Holiday Magazine
'Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park, this
environmentally friendly hotel has an innovative organic philosophy.
In a bid to reduce the hotel's environmental and carbon footprint,
refurbishments were carried out using as many natural products
as possible - decorating with organic clay paints and insulating
with sheep fleece'.
