Alexander Zawadzki, the award’s organiser commented on Wednesday from the World Travel Market in London:
“Our most sincere congratulations to the team at Langridge Highland Home and in special to Jane, the owner, for all her efforts in terms of sustainability. She is doing an outstanding job and truly deserves this award.
We invite all Scottish accommodation providers and tourism leaders that are making sustainable progress to follow Jane’s steps by applying to our next edition and encourage other people to be more environmentally conscious.”
This remote accommodation is owned and run by Jane Turner, who has implemented several sustainable measures such as installing an electric car charging station, sourcing electricity from a renewable energy supplier, recycling and reducing waste, supporting local artists and encouraging walking and outdoor adventures, among others.
Langridge is a much loved place for astronomers due to zero light pollution in the area, making it perfect for viewing the night sky in all its magnificent glory, where if conditions are right, it is possible to see the Northern Lights.
