🎉 We are so proud to have won the Bronze Sustainable Award from The University of Essex 🎉 So far in our journey towards a more sustainable hotel we have our own company-wide sustainability programme run by the staff where we share ideas on how to eliminate plastic, reduce our energy consumption, care for staff wellbeing, support the local community and improve recycling around the hotel.Our team work with suppliers to reduce packaging as well as introducing alternatives to plastic bottles and straws and giving staff and Edge Hotel School students re-usable drinking bottles.  In the bedrooms, we have introduced shampoo and shower gel dispensers, reusable glass bottles for water and milk, removed plastic pens and introduced purpose-built guest recycling stations.We also engage with the local community via monthly charity donations and support Hospitality Action and Room to Reward on an annual basis.We have made many more changes to reduce our carbon footprint and more are planned for the future.Here at Wivenhoe House we are determined to do our bit to be able to run a 4 Star hotel without compromising the ability of future generations!#sustainability #EdgeHotelSchool #thinkingaboutthefuture #UniversityofEssex #awardwinner

Rob the SAS Dog 🐾Rob, the parachuting SAS dog, who was stationed at Wivenhoe House along with the SAS second regiment, was said to have saved the lives of countless commandos by alerting them, Lassie-style, to oncoming danger deep behind enemy lines. But the reality of his military career (for which he was decorated for gallantry and given pride of place at the Imperial War Museum in London) may have been much more mundane.According to his citation, Rob, officially known as War Dog No 471/322, was said to have taken part in 20 parachute jumps in raids in Italy and North Africa during the Second World War. Once on the ground, he was said to have acted as a sentry while the troops slept, waking them by licking their cheeks at the sign of any danger.We salute you Rob!How do you think your dog have helped during the War?#Wivenhoehouse #Wivenhoe #WarDog #WarHero #HistoricalVenue #WW2 #GoodBoy

“Mr Wheeler Wines, specialising in sourcing & supplying world class wines since 1883” It is important to us to support local businesses where we can and Mr Wheeler Wines couldn’t be closer to us! Johnny & Simon have been working closely with us and our F&B Manager since 2012 to provide our team with the extensive knowledge of what we serve on our wine list & why. Being local means we get to keep in touch regularly which is important for the growth of the business and the relationship we have with each other. Cheers to the future 🥂 #Wine #4starhotel #Supportlocalbusiness #Red #White #Rose #Sparkling #ParkBrasserie

Coffee - How do you take yours? Did you know our preferred supplier is Paddy & Scott’s, whose mission is to “fuel the ambitions of coffee growing communities and coffee lovers all over the world”. Nearly 20 years since they launched the brand they have gone from strength to strength, and we are proud to be part of their mission for funding children’s school meals in regions that grow coffee around the world, last year we funded 208 meals! Stephen Robson, our GM said “I am absolutely delighted that we have been able to continue our relationship with Paddy and Scott’s, and the new coffee machine we have had installed in the Park Brasserie means that all our guests will get to experience their wonderful coffee as well as helping to provide meals for children in need through their Lunch Box coffee initiative”That’s why the coffee tastes better because it is changing lives!#fuellingambition #brewingabetterfuture #paddyandscotts #coffeefarmers #Supportbusiness #ParkBrasserie
