自我介绍

We live in Doolin and own and run The Lodes @ Sea View House. A collection of Luxury Lodges in Doolin Village. Together we have been in the tourism industry for over 35 yrs each. We have three properties in Dooiln village. Ocean View Lodge, Fisherstreet Lodge, Castle View Lodge, and Horseshoe House. All with stunning views and in the best locations. All our properties are approved and inspected by Failte Ireland, Ireland's national tourism body. SUSTAINABLE TOURISM: We are also passionate about sustainable tourism. We believe that ecotourism is the way for Doolin and the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geopark to develop tourism in a sustainable way. We try to consider the environment in all that we do. It is absolutely vital that we look towards long term, sustainable solutions that protect our outdoor spaces and minimize harmful CO2 emissions. We use technology and practices to minimize our impact on the environment helping to inspire others in our industry to take similar actions. This allows us provide luxury accommodation for our guests, while also sticking to our sustainable ethos. We are committed to reducing the impact our business has on the environment. Our environmental policy is not a marketing ploy, it has grown with us over the years as we have come to understand the impact we can have on the environment. To this end we are committed to taking the following action. SUSTAINABLE GOALS: To achieve sound environmental practices across our entire operation. To produce an annual Environmental Plan setting out our Objectives, Targets and planned Actions. To comply fully with all relevant legislation. To minimize our waste and reduce our water consumption where possible. To reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the resources consumed by our business wherever practical. To invite our customers, suppliers and contractors to participate in our efforts to protect the environment. To provide all employees with the training and resources required to meet our objectives. To openly communicate our policies and practices to interested parties. To monitor and record our environmental impacts on a regular basis and compare our performance with our policies, objectives and targets. USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY To minimize our CO2 emissions, Sea View House primarily uses renewable energy sources. Photovoltaic solar panels convert energy from the sun into electricity which is stored in our battery bank and used to run our hot tubs and provide electricity to the lodges. Flatplate solar collectors convert energy from the sun providing hot water for Lodge bathrooms and kitchens. We use BIO LPG produced from renewable feedstocks such as plant and vegetable waste material to heat the lodges. We have also taken steps to lower energy consumption throughout our properties, using advanced heating controls, LED lighting, motion-sensitive lighting and lots of insulation. Furthermore we replace our vehicles with fully electric models. ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS We are pleased to offer EV-Charger points for the exclusive use of our lodge guests. Eco solar-powered charges are available as well as faster 7kw mains powered charges if required. SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES Sea View House uses various sustainable practices. All trash is separated into various streams for recycling, reducing the volume going to landfill. We give some food waste to our flock of chickens while the rest is composted on site for use in our gardens. We minimize our use of single-use plastic and do not use single-serve toiletries. BURREN ECOTOURISM NETWORK We are long-standing members of The Burren Ecotourism Network. The Burren Ecotourism Network is a network of tourism enterprises with the objective of establishing the Burren as a premier internationally-recognized sustainable tourism region ensuring the future economic and social growth and sustainable development of its communities, environment, and heritage.
