We received a pleasant welcome on check in and information on the facilities of the hotel. All team members we encountered at reception, bar and dining room were excellent. A very good room with an excellent shower. The evening meal was very, very good.

Ian United Kingdom

Lots of very happy staff and exceedingly helpful The for was very good an excellent stay

Hugh United Kingdom

The meals were excellent. The cooked breakfast was non greasy and perfectly cooked. The evening meals were to die for, especially the surf and turf. The white chocolate panna cotta with a cocoa doughnut was one of the best desserts I have ever tasted. The staff were really pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

Gilly United Kingdom

We attended a wedding and stated the night before and after. The hotel is beautiful and ideal for a wedding. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, especially the breakfast staff. I would definitely recommend The Alverton!

Anne United Kingdom

A lovely hotel, we had a well appointed room, breakfast was delicious, and dinner amazing, pricey, but we got what we paid for and would happily stay and eat there again. Good parking.

Adrian United Kingdom

Good location. Friendly staff. Nice public rooms. Beds were comfortable and the shower was very nice. In general most of my party were happy with their rooms

Susan United Kingdom

stunning building and very comfortable. bar facilities excellent and friendly staff.

Adam United Kingdom

We had a room in the modern annexe. The room was modern and had all the mod-cons. The shower was relaxing and pleasant. There was a little confusion on how to work it, but once it was on... fabulous! The only thing for me was that climbing in and out of the bathtub was an adventure, but I managed. The coffee and tea tray was filled with everything a person needs in the morning to wake up. The staff was friendly and engaging. The reception gave us a call to be sure the room was fine. That was a nice gesture. We saw the lounge in the annexe and the seating in the courtyard where our room was, but we did not have the time to enjoy it. But it looked nice and comfy. Was there an opportunity to have breakfast there? Or a glass of wine and snacks? We're not sure.
