Sustainability Information
At Bayards Cove Inn we are committed to running a modern and sustainable business within the confines of a 13th century listed building. What we do to minimise our impact on our environment:
- We recycle all glass, cans, cardboard, food waste, ink cartridges, batteries and coffee grinds.
- We aim to source all our products locally supporting the local economy and providing sustainable local employment. 100 per cent of our staff live locally and within a 10 mile radius of Bayards Cove Inn.
- We use eco combi boilers to heat our bedrooms.
- We are completely plastic free - our takeaway glasses are made from vegetable starch, coffee cups, lids and picnic boxes are 100% biodegradable.
- We encourage email as the primary method of written communication to save paper.
- We use electronic methods of communication such as e-newsletters and Social Media to keep in touch with our customers.
- We support many local charities, causes and community organisations including the Dart Music Festival, the Dartmouth Royal Regatta, the Dartmouth Food and Drink Festival.
- We have invested in a number of initiatives to reduce our energy consumption and impact on the environment. All lighting has been replaced to ensure we can use LED or compact fluorescent light bulbs.
- All commercial equipment has been renewed since 2012 allowing us to upgrade to more energy efficient.
