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.

Beautiful cathedral- transports you to a peaceful haven.
Beautiful cathedral- transports you to a peaceful haven. Shopping area very mixed - independent shops, higher end and not so !
Parking limited in town
Not too far to coast and a fabulous massive Waitrose out of the town centre!
Immaculate. Clean, cosy, beautifully decorated and very functional kitchen with lovely breakfast area for the family and a huge bathroom with bath and separate shower. Nice big TV in the living room. Nothing was too much hassle for them; my wife couldn't find a hairdryer and called Mike who brought a new one within 20 mins! Location is perfect. Truro is very centrally located for the whole of Cornwall. The gorgeous cathedral and town are a short walk from the apartment. Parking in the back garden was very easy and plenty of space.
exceptionally well stocked, clean, beautifully decorated and designed, supremely comfortable sofas and bed, great kitchen. it’s in a lovingly restored old house and gives off proper countryside vibes. it’s quite secluded, and nothing is really close - which doesn’t matter because that also means it’s located well and nothing is really far away. it’s an amazing location for a „base camp“ if you want to explore Cornwall. I simply cannot recommend this enough, it is probably one of if not the best stay we’ve ever had.
This is a stunning property. Immaculately presented with quality decor, bedding and towels. Well equipped kitchen. Extremely comfortable beds. Claire has thought of everything!
Short riverside walk into Truro or Boscowan Park. Elevated position providing beautiful views across the river with fab sunsets. Easy access to major routes for visiting other areas of Cornwall. Generous parking area - a definite bonus when booking stays in Cornwall.
The owner was really lovely and welcoming. I didn't feel like a stayed at a hotel...felt like their house. Little things like pillow spray, sweets, bottled water, bath products. Really really lovely. I would definitely stay here again!! And the food in the restaurant was amazing! And they noticed I was a vegetarian at dinner and they had a vegetarian breakfast waiting for me in the morning. Very nice people, very nice hotel!!
We went to this part of Cornwall to remind ourselves how lovely it is , trelissick gardens were a couple of miles, King Harry Ferry , St Just church , and the cliffs of south Cornwall . This lovely house was in a perfect position to do all of that. House is small , perfect for two , warm and comfy , lovely gardens to walk in , walking distance to two pubs , and easy drive to truro , Falmouth , north Cornwall etc .
Cottage is beautiful, home from home. Enclosed garden, very dog friendly and lovely location for morning and evening sniffing walks for the pup.
I was fortunate enough to meet the owner, Liz. Very lovely lady.
There were essential provisions left for us, which meant we didn't have to go to the shop on the first day.
Great base for days out, visiting different parts of Cornwall and close to city centre.
We had absolutely wonderful 3 days at this delightful little B&B. The house is renovated beautifully, room was cozy with a huge bathroom, breakfast was delicious. The area is just lovely, super quiet and close to anywhere you want to go around to explore Cornwall. We saw bunch of bunnies, birds and a fox at the property. Will definitely stay here again!
The Donnington was a short walk to the centre of Truro. We had a lovely welcome to our well equipped room. We had a fridge and microwave and a lovely comfortable large bed. The lady who showed us our room was knowledgeable about the area and directed us to the best route into Truro. Views from our room where beautiful.
Gorgeous old English house. When you walk in the decor and ambiance is top notch. There is a fireplace in a beautiful lobby where I spent a good amount of my time. I had large room and it was indeed very spacious and clean. Brisk walk down the hill and you're right in the center of Truro.
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 ??
Great location if you are visit Truro as it's in front of shopping streets and everything is so easy to reach.
The hotel pub on the ground floor is very convenient for a drink before go to sleep.
There is parking place besides hotel which is great!
The Alverton is a very welcoming hotel with good food, friendly and efficient staff and an ideal location for touring Cornwall by car or public transport. Thoroughly recommend and would stay again.
It was clean,very comfortable,the hostess met me at the hotel and showed me everything .
Snacks were provided as breakfast not available.Everything in the room worked.
Brilliant.
Breakfast is excellent and the location is quiet. Situated about half way between Truro and St. Mawes means that you can easily reach most of Cornwall if you have a car.
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
