The Goodenough Hotel is a non-profit organisation with a strong social purpose. We are committed to embedding sustainability and regenerative tourism principles into the way we operate, guided by the VisitEngland Regenerative Tourism PLANT framework.
We believe tourism should contribute positively to the places and communities it touches. At the same time, we recognise that meaningful transformation takes time. As a small team with limited resources, we focus on practical, achievable actions that deliver genuine benefit at a reasonable pace and cost, ensuring the long-term sustainability of our organisation.
By taking a measured and thoughtful approach, Goodenough Hotel seeks to ensure that our activities leave a positive legacy for people, place and environment, now and into the future.
