We are always looking for ways to reduce our footprint, care for and protect the beautiful environment we call home.

Here are some of the ways we are working towards being a greener and more socially responsible business…

Food and Drink

• Boskerris uses local food and beverage suppliers in line with our 20 mile menu ethos – reducing food miles and packaging

• Our wine supplier delivers by electric van or cargo bike

• We organically produce garnishes for our drinks and menu in our garden

• We grow our own flowers which are used around the hotel throughout the year

• We compost all garden waste

• We use our used coffee granules in the garden

• We recycle all cooking oil

• We recycle glass, cardboard, paper and plastic

• We have removed all plastic from our bars including stirrers, straws and picks

• We do not purchase any plastic bottles for our drinks, only glass or cans

The Hotel

• We have 2 electric car chargers on site

• We use refillable room toiletries to reduce plastic waste. Our toiletry provider uses 100% natural botanicals from the British countryside and all packaging is recyclable, biodegradable or post-recycled and cruelty-free

• We have a system for guests where they chose whether they’d like their towels replaced daily

• We use eco-flushes on our toilets to reduce water consumption

• Where possible, we use eco-cleaning products throughout the hotel

• We use linen napkins which are washed in house, as opposed to using disposable napkins

• We rag old linen to use for cleaning

• All lightbulbs have been updated to LED bulbs and we have motion sensor lightbulbs in place in back of house rooms reducing our overall electricity consumption

• We upcycle furniture where possible to give the pieces a second life

• We consciously decorate with paint that has a low emission score and uses recyclable tins

• We employ local staff, the majority of which walk into work
