Lock in a great price for The Alverton - rated 8.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

breakfast buffet was ok - some meats and cheeses on the buffet would have been appreciated. Saturday and Sunday breakfast is served from 8.00 am onwards, too late for travellers having to catch a flight from London or even further afield. We left without breakfast

Barbara, Australia

Fantastic location and grounds. Beautiful room and bathroom. The bathroom had an excellent range of toiletries including a toothbrush and toothpaste - the latter welcome as I had forgotten mine.

Catherine, United Kingdom

We attended our friends wedding, and were very impressed, will definitely return in the future for a short holiday

Dafydd, United Kingdom

The bedroom was amazing loved the bed, then I saw the bath just perfect.

Mark, United Kingdom

The staff were lovely and my friend and I had a brill nights stay. We went to the theatre so thought we would make a night of it and we both thoroughly enjoyed it (even down to the lovely bath) 😌. Would have loved a pool tho but it was a perfect stay and would recommend it to others and can't wait to stay again.

Jayne, United Kingdom

Our friends had there wedding here and I can honestly see the hotel is by far the best in Cornwall loved it

Lewis, United Kingdom

Beautiful hotel and grounds. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated with big bathroom and nice toiletries. Breakfast was lovely, decent coffee, and unexpectedly complimentary when we checked out! :-)

Rebecca, United Kingdom

Hotel superb. They thought of every little detail. Never been to such a fabulous hotel before. Highly recommended. Even had a radio and coffee making machine in the room. Fabulous.

Business, United Kingdom

Really lovely hotel close to centre of Truro. Despite main road being quite close by you could not hear any traffic. Food was very good and service very friendly.

Deidte, United Kingdom

Meals good, breakfast scrambled egg cooked to perfection.

“Comfortable, enjoyed our time there but was a little disappointed with our room”

- • Submitted via mobile
눉Room number 40 - poor views from windows, television was small and poorly located when watching whilst relaxing in bed, albeit the bathroom was clean the bathroom facilities were "tired" and looked their age. Evidence of mould could be seen at the bottom of the shower tray and the water from the shower tray filled as you were having a shower. During our stay we were fortunate enough to have good weather and the use of a fan would have been appreciated as the room was stuffy at night even with the windows open
눇Restaurant and bar were comfortable and welcoming

“Fabulous Truro hotel but restaurant needs work”
- • Family with young children
- • Garden View Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted via mobile
눉Hard to fault the hotel room at all but I think it's in the restaurant where some focus is needed. Just my opinion, but I think breakfast is quite pricey for what it is and service in the restaurant at lunchtime was noticeably poor - staff were inattentive, drinks orders were wrong, service was slow (an hour from sitting down to getting our mains, for example), everything was "not a problem" (a wearing response when you've heard it a dozen times, recited endlessly like a mantra). We felt distinctly ignored and had to ask for things that should have just come without our demand. Admittedly there was a wedding going on but if you can't run the restaurant properly when there's an event then perhaps you should close it. All in all, a lovely hotel but I would eat elsewhere next time.
눇Lovely twin room (7) looking out on the gardens, huge bathroom, lots of nice touches, plenty of parking, short walk to town. Would definitely stay again

“Great hotel, great location and wonderful staff”
- • Group of friends

눉More banister rails on the stairs - my rooms was up two floors with an adequate but not wide staircase. The beds were comfy, but the pillows were rock solid one softer pillow would have been an improvement.
눇The staff were excellent throughout our stay. We arrived earlier than the check-in time as we were in Truro for a family funeral. We asked if there was anywhere we could change and freshen up for the funeral having had a long drive. The receptionist asked us to wait in the bar with complimentary coffees and within fifteen minutes both our rooms were ready - many thanks to the housekeeping staff for their most efficient speed The rooms were lovely, comfy beds with tv and radio and a good tea/coffee tray. I had a super walk-in shower in the en-suite.

“historic and confortable hotel located in the heart of Cornwall - service to improve”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Garden View Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉the approximate level of service for such an hotel : personnel on duty bumping into clients (in a hurry ?) , cleaning clothes found twice (on 4 days) on floor in corridor and in our bedroom, vacum cleaning happening at breakfast time in the breakfast place... orders at breakfast were often erroneous, repeated several times, ..... we were wondering if personnel would have been on schoolarship ? if the case, it should be announced beforehand.
눇nice gardens around the buildings. most attraction is indeed the hotel located in a former religious monastry. excellent beds and large bedrooms
