A bed and breakfast business has won an environmental award.

The South East Regional Development Agency (SEEDA) has given the Manor Farm Oast guest house, in Workhouse Lane, Icklesham, near Rye, a Sustainable Business Award for its work reducing waste and supporting community projects.

The awards were open to all companies in the South East excluding the public and education sectors.

Paul Jeffries from Tourism South East said: "It is excellent news that this business received such an important accolade.

"This reaffirms our industry's commitment to sustainable business practices and clearly shows these are becoming a key component in the delivery of world-class facilities, service and products."
