At Conde Nast Johansens Annual Awards for Excellence Dinner at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower, London, Soulton Hall was an award finalist for ''MOST EXCELLENT INNOVATION IN SUSTAINABLE HOSPITALITY''.
This recognised work done in finiding fresh purpose to 300 year old agricultural buildings, as well as the stuardship of the farm, involving the mainitance of our 50acre wood, planing of 1/2 a mile of new hedges, and the provision of specially seaded areas for birds and insects. It further recognised the efforts gone to to source our own food, including game and honey.
In the months since the award was given, we have continued to enhance the farm, most recently in a bank side coppicing project over a mile of Soulton Brook, the wood from which will fule a log burner in Soulton Court.
