Responsible Guest Charter

The county of Cornwall is a beautiful place so please be a responsible visitor. Here are some tips on how you can help. #ShopLocal #SupportLocal Use local products and services. They give you a flavour of the area and help support our communities.

We are fortunate to have some great producers of food, & drink in and around Bude, and arts & crafts. We have a wonderful bakery called Electric Bakery in Bude & sample their wonderful array of breads and sour doughs. We also have an award winning local cheese business called Whalesborough who also make their own rum and crackers for cheese called Popti!.  Take a look at “Little Extras” available on our website and enjoy pork and lamb that has been ethically reared just two miles away by Hoof to Black butchers or treat yourself to a Breakfast Box– full of locally sourced goodies.

Follow the Countryside Code

Please respect the local community and other people using the outdoors. Remember your actions can affect people’s lives and livelihoods.

Travel

We encourage you to travel in an environmental sensitive way (there are  untethered electric car charging points in Bude). Better still – why not leave your car parked up and explore the area on foot or by bicycle? There are lots routes and footpaths to take. 

By Car

If you are driving the narrow country lanes and you meet walkers coming towards you then please stop and allow them to pass safely. If they are walking in the same direction you are travelling then slow down and allow them to move off the road onto a safe verge.

Services

We don’t charge for extra use of utilities but please think about the environment and turn off lights when not being used. Only use the water you need – why not share a shower! The water here is great to drink so no need to buy plastic bottles of drinking water – we leave a chilled, glass water bottle in the fridge for you. We are not on mains drains but have a “bio disc” which breaks down waste in an environmentally sensitive way, so we need to be careful what goes down the sink and the toilet. Keep it to the 3Ps (Pee, Pooh, Paper) and please use the bins to dispose of sanitary items.

Recycling

We ask you to recycle while you are staying with us and we leave a bin for plastics, cardboard & tins and a separate bin for glass.

Food Waste

Did you know that approximately a third of our food is thrown away? The Little Pig is a certified Guardian of Grub and committed to reducing food waste so please don’t dispose of uneaten perishables but leave them in the fridge – unopened goods can be enjoyed by members of staff.
