One of the Sid Valley’s ’boutique hotels’ is really making efforts to reduce its impact on the environment – and is at the same time actually reducing its own costs.

The Sid Valley Country House Hotel has a page dedicated to the sort of things it’s been doing – including:
Just like our guests we love Devon. Being in an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ we want to safeguard it for future generations. Our landscape and coastline are stunning and timeless. We are committed to safeguarding our environment.
Below are a few of the ways Sid Valley is working to minimise harmful effects and maximise the beneficial influences our activities have on this breathtaking environment we are a part of :
Buying locally: We source as locally as possible to reduce food miles and to support local farmers and suppliers, plus we grow our own produce and make jams and preserves with seasonal fruits…
Swimming pool: We have a state-of-the-art electric cover that retains the Heat & provides a totally Safe Surface…
Carbon Emissions: We use the least amount of deliveries to help reduce our carbon footprint….
Buildings: At Sid Valley we use local trade persons & suppliers to both support the local community and reduce our effect on the environment…
