We stayed in the Hidden Hut and loved the location. It was great that we were left undisturbed to enjoy our stay. We loved waking up to the sounds of nature - dawn chorus and a small babbling stream. Beautiful accommodation - small but it had everything we needed. Perfect.

Lovely bed and breakfast, great location and will definitely go back. Spotlessly Clean room and a plentiful breakfast basket delivered to your door. The bed was very comfortable and though next to a busy main road we didn't notice the traffic noise and it certainly didn't keep us awake.

Truro is a lovely city in Cornwall.
Truro is a lovely city in Cornwall. People are friendly and hospitable. Tons of restaurants, shops, cafe's, and there is a Town Hall that has entertainment, movie house so a short stay here would be filled with lots to do. The Cathedral is a lovely place to visit and there is lots to do from this central point.
Hire a car and head to Newquay, Falmouth or St Ives for the day.

City centre was lovely!
City centre was lovely! We enjoyed meandering through the cathedral (which was very grand, the architecture absolutely brought me to tears, managed to light a prayer candle for lent, also they have an ongoing exhibit about awareness of abuse in the church) and the cornwall museum is closeby :D they have wacky artefacts. The coffee and cornish pasties and the pastries are the bomb dot com but the other grub not so much, i mean, it's just typical british fare innit haha also truro station connects easily to penzance and the other more touristy bits. Transportationwise, quite hard, buses are a little but unreliable even with the time table. Not much uber drivers but the taxis are popping. There are taxis around the station and they have a taxi calling app and there are cards that you can get from the accommodation. Pretty old timey but charming.

Truro is an attractive small city and it’s easy to find parking and to walk around the shops and see the cathedral.
There are plenty of places to have coffee or lunch.
The bus station is right beside the shopping area, which has a large Marks and Spencer’s, which has a cafe, a large branch of Waterstones as well as a good selection of independent shops and an indoor market.

Great base for exploring Cornwall but not sure what it’s like in summer. We parked in the town with ease but we visited in November.
Masses of shops. It is the county town so is a magnet for shoppers.
Cathedral and Cornwall Museum worth a visit. Hall for Cornwall has a variety of shows.
Thoroughly enjoyed the pasty shop for lunch.
Check roadworks though. A30 was closed intoTrurofor the whole weekend whilst work is going on building the new by pass. It took us ages to follow the detour.

I did want to explore the town a bit more, especially the cathedral, but this visit was to see a show and I had to return the next day.
I had a meal at an Italian restaurant literally up the road from the hotel, it was decent enough.

Truro is a lovely place to visit.
Truro is a lovely place to visit. Old and new buildings to see and plenty of places to go. Resturants of many different cuisines and a nice open area to sit and chill with a coffee. There is a beach, about 7 miles away, (Perranporth) which is lovely and has the traiditional fish and chips, kiss me quick hats etc and you're not too far away from the north side so Newquay etc is all available within 45 to 60 minutes in the car.
Supermarkets are a plenty in and around Truro too. The catherdral is a must to visit. A beautiful building and well worth some time spent.
A beautifully sheltered little community of holiday homes. Peaceful, clean and luxurious. The host gave simple instructions with a useful photo near the end to ensure the final turn was made correctly, and the key system worked well. Everything inside was perfect - terrific white goods, comfy sofas and beds. Two excellent showers. Only a minute or two's drive from the edge of Truro. A great bolt-hole from which to explore Cornwall's north and south coasts. The kids absolutely loved it.
I had travelled to Truro to visit a friend who was in the local hospital. I cannot recommend the hotel enough. The location is just a 3 minute walk from the cathedral, the hotel has a secure gated car park, and the staff are universally superb. I ate in the hotel restaurant and the service, quality and selection of food were first-class and reasonably priced. The continental breakfast was one of the best I've ever had in a hotel. I will stay here again if I visit Truro again.
Perfect location for our evening out in Truro to visit the hall for Cornwall. The hotel was clean and comfortable and was beautiful. The staff were excellent from start to end of our stay and could not of been any more helpful.
Really liked the selection of luxury goodies in the bathroom and also the little jar of homemade biscuits, water bottle & drinks selection was a lovely touch.
Breakfast was great also,
A great location with amazing, huge rooms which were extremely comfortable. The Townhouse has a pretty garden that you can sit out and relax whenever you want to. We had a continental breakfast delivered to our room each morning which you could eat either in your room or in the garden. We also had room service each day of our stay! I cannot recommend this hotel enough! I cannot wait to go back!
This place was an old, old, revamped manor. Whoever made the remodeling decisions , really had great taste. It was magazine worthy in paint colors, linens, bathroom fixtures and in every other way. I was so appreciative of those elements.. They are about 5 miles out of Truro, but with GPS, you can find them on the country lanes.
The guest house itself is charming and very comfortable! The view of Truro from my room was fantastic, and it was nice having a good breakfast provided in the mornings. I felt I had easy walking access to the city and the train station. The owners were considerate and welcoming as well! I had a great experience overall!
Beautiful lodge in a gorgeous setting. Host Vanda was so friendly and welcoming to us and our little dog! The lodge was spotlessly clean and bed was super comfy! We had the most wonderful relaxing break and can't wait to come back again. Perfect location for exploring the best of cornwall's north & south coasts!
I loved the Queen related decor of the apartment (as a big Queen fan) but also the apartment was in a great central location in Truro and allowed us to fully explore Cornwall. The apartment was clean and well laid out for a family of our size. Did I mention the Queen connections ??
June and Greg were extremely friedly and perfect hosts. June baked regularly fresh home made cakes. Location in Truro was perfect. Turo is perfectly located to explore Cornwall and offers a good variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars.
The hotel is in an excellent location to visit Truro and Cornwall with bus service outside the hotel. It has a large car park we drove to the hotel and visited Cornwall on the buses coastal buses and odd train journey.
The property is in a great location to explore Cornwall and within walking distance (with small children) of Truro centre.
The house had lots of great features with young children and a lovely, relaxed layout.
The Zucchini was so friendly, welcoming and comfortable it felt like home. The owners were fantastic fun and made us feel like family friends. Plus they make the best Pizzas outside of Italy.
Good location. Easy walk to train station. Truro was our base town for exploring Cornwall. Grocery store right across the street. County Arms pub just down the road offered good meals.
Everything you need for a week away, clean tidy and modern, quiet location, central for a trip to cornwall, lovely welcome food parcel enjoyable after a day of travel
Staff and owners are fabulous friendly and give the best customer service..Love this place. Excellent location for Truro and if you want to explore Cornwall.
