Country house The Alverton

Tregolls Road, Truro, TR1 1ZQ, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for The Alverton - rated 8.9 by recent guests.

to get started.

The grounds and the building were very picturesque. Six foot bed very comfortable

George, United Kingdom

Room was fantastic, clean, and comfortable. Short walk into the city!

Paula, United Kingdom

The positive attitude of all the team. The presentation of the hotel. The food.

Nigel, United Kingdom

Excellant hotel with very good staff who look after your every need. Good close location to the town. Excellant food in both the bar and the restaurant. Well stocked bar area.

Andrewsnell, United Kingdom

A comfortable hotel very nicely converted from an old religious building, which makes it rather unique in style and layout. The rooms are quite modern inside with all the expected facilities. Good location convenient for the town and easy to get to. There seemed to be plentiful staff who were all helpful and friendly. Excellent food in the restaurant.

Robert, United Kingdom

Like being able to mix and match the bar and dining room menus when having an evening meal in the bar. More relaxed atmosphere than the restaurant.

Raymond, United Kingdom

Second time here. Last time, I was a bit unfair in my review as I thought they put me in a double room and thought the room was a bit small for double. Actually, It was a single room. The single rooms have double beds in them. Really nice place and v comfortable. Would recommend and it will be my first choice in Truro. Breakfast awesome.

Mervyn, United Kingdom

The room was beautiful and so quiet. The staff were attentive but intrusive. Would I recommend in a heart beat

Nicola, United Kingdom

The staff amazing. The room excellent and dinner amazing!!!!

Amanda, United Kingdom

The reception we received, the beautiful room (the Bishop suite), the bathroom, the food, the staff, the grounds, the parking

The Alverton is the only four-star hotel within the cathedral city of Truro. It is set within a 19th-century Grade II listed building with arched mullioned windows. Offering a bar and brasserie and free on-site parking, the hotel is just 25 minutes' drive from the coast of Cornwall.

An en suite bathroom, TV and tea/coffee making facilities are featured in each room at The Alverton.

Serving traditional Sunday lunch, the on-site brasserie uses ingredients from local suppliers whenever possible. Guests can relax with a drink in the lounge or out on the terrace in the warmer months.

The Eden Project is a 30-minute drive and features the world’s largest greenhouse. Truro Cathedral can be reached in 10 minutes' on foot.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

Not much. The plumbing made some odd noises at times but that's probably to be expected in an older building.

“Lovely location, but something went wrong in the kitchen.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Classic Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The breakfasts for both of us were overcooked. My wife's bacon was hard to a crisp and my omelette was grossly overdone. An omelette should be soft and fluffy. The outside of my omelette was hard. I ate what I could but much of it was inedible. I complained to the waiter but I did not get the impression that he would bother passing on my message to the chef. Certainly no-one came to apologise.
