Hawkstone Park hotel, in Shrewsbury, has become the first location in Shropshire to install electric car Charging Stations.

Customers of Hawkstone Park who drive electric cars do not need to own a smart card, be a member of any scheme or pay a monthly fee; they just turn up and plug in. The Charging Stations are part of the only unrestricted charging network in the UK: Zero:Net.

Even the beer is delivered in an electric van

Visitors to the Georgian House Hotel with a plug-in vehicle can now recharge overnight or 'top up' their vehicle while relaxing in the Grade II listed building.
