Guest House Taking Steps Towards Sustainability
Pendragon Country House stands as a beacon of eco-conscious hospitality, being one of the highest-rated green accommodations in the country. A commendable eight-time recipient of the Editor's Choice award from The Good Hotel Guide, it is recognised for its strong commitment to environmental sustainability. Renewable energy is harnessed from solar radiation and biomass, minimizing dependence on traditional energy sources. An array of eco-friendly practices are followed on the premises. These include the use of non-toxic cleaning products, rainwater collection and usage, provision of organic food at the restaurant, LED lighting throughout the premises, and availability of electric car charging stations.
In-room signs prompt guests to consider water conservation by opting for towels to be changed only upon request. The house's waste management system is efficiently structured, separating waste into at least three categories. The restaurant proposes a vegetarian menu, further reducing the environmental impact of food production. Furthermore, most of the ingredients used in meal preparation are locally sourced, supporting local producers and reducing carbon footprint from transportation. The implementation of an energy audit every five years ensures that Pendragon Country House maintains its commitment to energy efficiency. This comprehensive approach to sustainability is acknowledged by two major certifications: TripAdvisor GreenLeaders and Green Tourism Business Scheme.

What is the history of the property?
A Vicarage built on the site where Edward Benson was once a visiting vicar for a short period. The land was donated by the duchy to the diocese and the then Prince of Wales part paid to build the house to attract Edward Benson to the area. He was appointed first Bishop of Truro and went on to be archbishop of Canterbury and is buried in Westminster cathedral. (He never did end up staying here after all it should be stated).
