    The hotel is a beautiful building, it could do a little updating in the bedrooms though. Our bathroom had some mould around the window. I know this is part and parcel of an old building, especially in Cornwall but it could be wiped off regularly to keep on top of it. This is only minor though and would not put me off staying here again by any means.

    The location was perfect for an overnight stay as we were visiting the Hall for Cornwall. A short walk into town. Plenty of places to eat nearby. The staff at the hotel were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was perfect. I am coeliac and the hotel were very accommodating and conscientious catering for me. such a relief as unfortunately so many hotels and restaurants have no awareness. So thank you! The bed was extremely comfortable too.

    I didn't like the high edge to the bath and so the shower was tricky for me to get in and out.

    The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was very good.

    The two sets of stairs thayt I had to negotiate to get to my room.

    Being disabled, was upset that I had to negotiate two separate short flights of stairs with my walker. Room was nice, with decent shower.

    Beautiful hotel. Really enjoyed our stay. Also dog friendly and staff couldn't of been more hospitable. Dogs are not allowed in the main restaurant but you can take them into the bar, and eat there. Which worked fine for us. Would recommend

    Only tiny thing if I had to pick something and this is very minor was the cooked breakfast would have been complete with beans (veggie option came with them but not the Alverton Grill)

    Beautifully presented, great location, stunning garden view room. Staff were super attentive and we were made to feel incredibly welcome. Incredibly clean and a great place to stay to explore Cornwall from.

    All the staff were friendly however we found breakfast staff (Saturday 18th May) were a little unprofessional, apart from 2 of the waitresses (one had her hair up with plaits and the other had a few piercings they were both fabulous.) staff on breakfast on Sunday 19th were much better and a lot more professional.

    Lovely original features, great location for Truro as you are not right in the town. Lovely and quiet

    Our room (18) overlooked a terrace where people can sit and it detracted from our privacy. Not too much of an issue as we were mostly out. But will request a different room if offered this one again

    The staff were lovely, the room was spotlessly clean and the food was amazing and good value for money. The hotel was surrounded by beautiful gardens and, although it's near a main road, it sits on a hill at the end of a winding drive with mature trees in the garden, so even on the verandah you aren't really aware of the road and traffic.
