As we accept bookings up to 2 years in advance, it’s practically impossible to predict what the energy costs might be, that far into the future.
Therefore we offer all our guests the opportunity to either receive an additional discount now and top-up the energy meters at each property, via the internet, when the meters eventually need refilling.
Or you can pay our normal price now and no matter how high the energy price increases between now and your Check-in date, we will automatically top up the energy meters for you.
No matter which rate you choose, upon arrival all energy services will be credited by at least £10 on each meter.
Currently, (January 2024), most of our properties use approximately £9.12 gas / day and £5.87 electricity / day and last summer 2023, it was £1.92 gas / day and £0.98 electricity.
3 Years ago there was no war in Ukraine, Russian Oil sanctions, a blocked Suez Canal or destroyed Nordstream 2 oil pipeline, since then energy costs have gone up far faster than incomes.
We cannot control its cost due to UK Government Price Caps, so we thought up this fairer system for the Eco-Friendly guest..
Here’s a text summary of published increases in costs for gas, oil, and electricity in the UK, excluding the direct impact of the Ukraine war:
