Truro is a lovely city in Cornwall. People are friendly and hospitable. Tons of restaurants, shops, cafe's, and there is a Town Hall that has entertainment, movie house so a short stay here would be filled with lots to do. The Cathedral is a lovely place to visit and there is lots to do from this central point.
Hire a car and head to Newquay, Falmouth or St Ives for the day.

City centre was lovely!
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.
Not often when booking accommodation that reality is better than the advertised photos! Secluded in a peaceful area the property was exceptionally clean with everything you needed. Your own personal parking space next to the entry gate was so convenient plus the outside seating area was an added bonus. Situated a short distance from Truro town centre it is close to all main road routes for each direction so perfectly located for touring Cornwall.
This was a beautiful, tastefully decorated property. It was pristine and comfortable. Our host was welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for her. The breakfasts were great with locally sourced produce where possible. A very good find and we would highly recommend it as a quiet base to a holiday in Cornwall. It was easy to find off the main road between Bodmin and Truro, so well situated to explore any corner of the county.
The location in Truro was very good, an easy walk to supermarkets, pubs, shops and the cathedral. Truro is a good base for exploring Cornwall. The cottage had a lot of character and charm and the decor was well coordinated. The beds were very comfortable. It was good having a car park, even though access to it was a bit tight. Communication from the hosts was excellent- prompt and detailed.
our stay included breakfast, which was some of the best I’ve had at any hotel, B&B or guesthouse ever. we told them it was our anniversary,
and there was a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us in the room. it was a very quiet stay, and the property is lovely. Truro Centre is a walkable distance, and the housekeeping stuff was so sweet and considerate of our needs.
So fortunate to book one of the last rooms available at this absolutely beautiful decorated hotel. Had the pleasure of meeting the very gracious owner.
The courtyard was beautiful & a very generous continental breakfast, which was amazingly included in he price.
Definitely booking here for a longer stay next time I'm visiting the Playhouse, Hall of Cornwall.
What an amazing place. Right on the river, so peaceful. The cottage is clean, cosy and has everything you need.
The owners were lovely and very helpful.
The location is perfect for exploring Cornwall or you can just sit by the river and relax.
The pool here is such a bonus.
We honestly feel very lucky to have found this place. We will be back very soon.
This place was an old, old, revamped manor. Whoever made the remodeling decisions , really had great taste. It was magazine worthy in paint colors, linens, bathroom fixtures and in every other way. I was so appreciative of those elements.. They are about 5 miles out of Truro, but with GPS, you can find them on the country lanes.
The cooked breakfast was very nice when it arrived. Our room was very nice with a lovely view over rolling hills but our son's room looked out directly onto a car park. Car parking was excellent. The hotel is about 20-30 minutes' walk from the town centre - it is a steep climb coming back but there is a bus stop very close.
The location is pretty good. Truro wasn't anything special to us and our goal was to visit the rest of Cornwall which we did. We did enjoy having the modernized outlets on each side of the bed. The staff is wonderful and the morning breakfast was very nice. The Co-op store is open later and we visited often.
Very clean and cosy. Good facilities- loved the shower. Good to have an on-site parking space large enough for a SUV. Close walking distance to the city centre. Perfect location to explore Cornwall by car, train and bus.
A gorgeous hotel with lovely gardens, helpful staff, comfortable rooms, and a sunny terrace area perfect for late afternoon drinks. Our evening meal in the restaurant was superb, and breakfast the following day was spot-on.
Excellent location, quiet but close to Truro and the Saturday farmers market, several National Trust properties and gardens. Comfortable, well equipped apartment with friendly, helpful hosts. Highly recommend.
great breakfast everything you could want served up with a smile ,two loveley people we wish them well for the future and would stay again well done all the bestto you luv geoff & jan.
Beech Barn, cosy, comfortable, well equipped. Perfectly located to explore Cornwall from a very peaceful base.
Friendly hosts. Beautiful views on all sides.
The room was basic but clean with a comfy bed. The best part was the staff (downstairs) - they were super nice and helpful when the heated went a bit rogue!
