“A converted historic grade II listed building set in pretty Truro. Beautifully restored throughout, the rooms perfectly mix the old and the new. Expect Farrow and Ball painted walls, chic contemporary furniture and plenty of charm coming from the original features. The restaurant is noteworthy too.”

The Alverton

Occupying a rambling Victorian-Gothic pile hidden behind high stone walls and centuries-old trees, on a busy road just outside the centre of Truro, The Alverton is a classic county town hotel with a contemporary twist.

Alverton, Truro, Cornwall

Up a hill, a short stroll from the centre of Truro, the Alverton has a holy feel about it. Tall stained glass windows rise from a grey stone building that resembles a church, while a castellated tower shoots up above a doorway shaped like a bishop’s mitre. The hotel was indeed once the home of nuns, members of the Order of the Epiphany, who were based in the house from 1883 to 1984. Now it’s a stylish hotel with a well-regarded restaurant.
