Christmas cheer was spread to children, families and elderly residents in Devon as part of our festive campaign for 2023.

Launched as a ‘Giving Back’ initiative to support good causes in the area and to help people in need in the community over the Christmas period.

As part of the campaign, we donated food to Moretonhampstead Community Fridge, which is based outside the Community Club on Court Street in the town. The fridge is open to all and is stocked with food from a variety of places, we committed to donate items over the Christmas period to support those in the local area who can put it to good use.

We also donated hampers filled with festive treats to residents at Coppelia House care home, also on Court Street, and donated a Christmas present to the national Cash for Kids charity for every child that stays at the hotel on a Christmas package.

Additionally, for every room booked on a package at Christmas and New Year, Bovey Castle will plant a tree in its grounds to offset the carbon footprint of guests staying over the festive period.

Dean Gunston, our General Manager said: “Christmas is a time to think of others so when we decided to put plans in place for our Giving Back campaign this year, we wanted to support as many good causes close to us as possible.

“Food is a big part of the offering here at Bovey Castle and we are committed to sustainability, which is why we thought it was a great opportunity to support Moretonhampstead Community Fridge’s fantastic work by donating produce over the busy Christmas period.

“We also welcome lots of families with children at Bovey Castle over Christmas, and wanted to do something to help disadvantaged children and young people through the Cash For Kids’ Mission Christmas appeal to make sure they wake up to a present on Christmas day.
