We enjoyed 3 nights in this wonderful hotel.We upgraded our room to a junior suit for the bathtub and we did not regret it!As the weather was not the best in February,having a bathtub as well as an ample shower really helped.No noise and close to the carpark was ideal too.Wonderful breakfast every day as well as dinner. We were delighted with our stay as the hotel is really something to remember.We will be back.

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.
What I didnt like was my room being accessed whilst I was occupying by a new guest whom had been given keys to my room and wished to checkin to my already occupied room.
I didn't like that they couldnt fulfil a request to upgrade me to a courtyard room, even though I asked three times during the process without an additional fee. Unfortunately the hotel promptly went ahead and recharged the full stay again to my credit card even after Booking.com already having charged for the full stay ahead of checkin.
The saty was NOta good one.
Excellent location, very close to the city centre. Adequate single-room size with small TV. Very clean and comfortable room with free luxury toiletries, tea/coffee-making facilities. Exceptionally welcoming and attentive hosts, Norbert and Peter, were helpful in suggesting interesting places around Cornwall. The house has a beautifully decorated shared lounge and in general is a lovely place with a stunning garden. Breakfast is very varied and abundant. I highly recommend this place and would definitely return.
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.
This was a beautiful, tastefully decorated property. It was pristine and comfortable. Our host was welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for her. The breakfasts were great with locally sourced produce where possible. A very good find and we would highly recommend it as a quiet base to a holiday in Cornwall. It was easy to find off the main road between Bodmin and Truro, so well situated to explore any corner of the county.
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!
The location in Truro was very good, an easy walk to supermarkets, pubs, shops and the cathedral. Truro is a good base for exploring Cornwall. The cottage had a lot of character and charm and the decor was well coordinated. The beds were very comfortable. It was good having a car park, even though access to it was a bit tight. Communication from the hosts was excellent- prompt and detailed.
We had a spacious twin room at the front of the property. Had a fridge which I wasn't expecting so that was a bonus. Beds very comfy and bedding smelt lovely and clean.
Bathroom a bit basic but it was fine.
Tea/Coffee replenished daily.
Thought it was good value considering the area and easy to walk in to Truro. Very near to the Sainsburys that did a good value cooked breakfast.
Very convenient location, near the Hall for Cornwall and shops.
My room was just a short flight of stairs from Reception, the Restaurant and the entrance/exit to the hotel, which was very helpful; and, despite being in the middle of the city, it was quiet and peaceful.
I particularly liked having cheese and French bread for breakfast, and there was a good selection of fruit juices.
Liked the location for exploring both the east and west coasts of Cornwall. Comfortable room and outstanding restaurant with a creative chef. We asked for a quiet room and, although we were there on a weekend and the hotel was hosting large gatherings, we did not hear one noise! Great people working here too, friendly and competent. Highly recommend.
The best Cornish breakfasts by a great host in a wonderful location for exploring Cornwall. Spacious rooms, comfy beds, all the extras - bath robe, hair dryer, toiletries, wine glasses, biscuits, chocolates , etc which you might need or want! A pleasure to stay there again; we will be back
Really enjoyed our stay. Hannah was a superb host. So friendly and informative.
The room was spacious, clean with super comfy beds. And best of all there was a really BIG tv in the room.
I would certainly recommend dining at the restaurant. Food was excellent.
Our 4-night stay was fantastic, the location is perfect, within walking distance to town and Truro itself is a good base for discovering Cornwall, as nothing was too far from there. The room was lovely and sparkling clean with a huge, comfortable bed.
Lovely house and very good confortable spacious room. Owners were extremely friendly and ready to provide information on Cornwall and sites. Ben is a great cook and made us superb breakfasts!
Very easy to get to, close to Truro. Wendy was very friendly and helpful, room & bathroom extremely clean, top notch breakfast. Overall a very enjoyable stay, would certainly recommend it.
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
