Experience Môr, a Welsh holiday cottage provider, has set the environmental standard for others to follow by gaining an environmental accreditation for every holiday cottage in their portfolio.

Based in Pembrokeshire Wales, Experience Môr is the first holiday provider in Wales to gain Green Key environmental accreditation for all of their cottages, ensuring that environmental excellence is at the heart of what they offer.

Each luxury Experience Môr property has a 5* Visit Wales rating and been led by the principles of sustainable living since they launched in 2012. And with 57% of staying visitors to Wales believing it is ‘very important’ that the destinations they choose to visit are managed sustainably*, Experience Môr are appealing to a growing market.

Experience Môr have installed solar panels to help provide electricity for many of their properties, as well as year round hot water at two of their cottages. The newest property within the Experience Môr portfolio has solar water panels on 3 different elevations to capture the most solar energy throughout the day.

Throughout all properties Experience Môr have installed double glazing, led lighting and source sustainable wood for their log burners. They use eco-friendly cleaning products and also harvest rainwater for toilets and irrigation. Founder of Experience Môr, Jonathan Heron Said:

‘Environmental sustainability is incredibly important to us here at Experience Môr and gaining an accreditation for the work we do means that we can give our guests an independent verification of our work. Green Key accreditation appealed to us because it is recognised in 50 countries worldwide and will allow us to communicate to an international market. The fact that Green Key is run in Wales by the environmental charity Keep Wales Tidy, made a lot of sense to us.’
