For clients arriving by foot from the train it’s a long slog up the hill. Also I don’t think there’s a lift.
Otherwise nice hotel, well run with modern decor.
We loved this hotel. While renovation of the entire property is ongoing, and we did turn down an upgrade to I suspect a newly renovated room, we found our Room #20 to be snug, quiet and comfortable.
Breakfast was delicious and provided sufficient variety with the option for cooked to order dishes. The breakfast space was lovely.
We had dinner in on our second night and thoroughly enjoyed sitting by the fire eating our delicious pizzas.
Lovely hotel. I had sudden trip to Truro to visit a family member in hospital and the staff were just…nice people. I particularly appreciated them being around to check me in even though I arrived on a late train.
Staff were lovely but the room wasn't as nice as the pictures. Only one towel and mug and the room was boiling as the radiator was on max. Also the pots set out for the jam at breakfast had what looked like tartar sauce in them.
Friendly helpful staff.
Lovely downstairs renovation but rooms / bathroom need a refit.
Breakfast okay would have liked a little more choice but adequate and i expect if you asked could have something different
