TOP NATIONAL ENERGY AWARDS

ADEVON’S MOLE RESORT has been recognised in two categories at the prestigious National Energy Efficiency Awards.

North Devon lodge resort and countryside ‘playground’, The Mole Resort, is celebrating after being recognised in two categories at the prestigious National Energy Efficiency Awards, which champion best practice across the UK energy efficiency industry.

The Mole Resort received special commendation for Multi-measure Project of the Year and achieved third place in the Project Management Company of the Year category, at the awards ceremony held at Hilton Birmingham Metropole. Comprising 58 lodges and a fully refurbished hotel set in the heart of the Devon countryside, The Mole Resort is an eco-conscious lodge and hotel destination.

As part of its ongoing commitment to the environment and target to be a Net Zero resort, owner L+R Hotels designed a ground-breaking Energy Positive Lodge for its newest development. The lodge is so-called because it produces more energy than it consumes – generating its energy through an array of solar PV panels and with a fabric-/first approach at the heart of its design.

Ssh! Pitches For Lovers Of Peace and Quiet

Ssh! Pitches For Lovers Of Peace and Quiet

One of Devon’s most beautifully located holiday parks is wooing holiday home buyers with a list of all the attractions which they won’t be able to enjoy. But rather than putting people off, Nichols Nymett Holiday Park owner Angela Stupiak believes her unusual pitch will be well received by the right type of customers. They are being told that the park doesn’t have a disco for late-night revelries, or the chance to win a fortune on bingo, or sing-alongs in the clubhouse, nor a children’s talent contest. In fact the only live entertainment on her park near Okehampton, Angela cheerfully admits, is a constant chorus of birdsong - plus delightful views of the peaceful Devon countryside. In other words, she says, it’s the perfect bolt-hole for those seeking escapes to total tranquillity. Angela and her husband Michael took on the business almost 25 years ago after being ‘smitten’ by its picture postcard location near Dartmoor in the village of North Tawton.
