10 Must Visit Hotels for 2013 by Dinah Hatch
"Designed by the same architect who created the stunning Gothic revival masterpiece that is Truro Cathedral, the grade II listed Alverton is a gloriously historic English inn complete with its own bell tower, mullioned windows and wonderfully romantic archways clad in russet-red ivy. Its hillside setting and private gardens make it a lovely spot for drinks outside but it is also conveniently close to the hustle and bustle of Truro’s shops, bars and restaurants. We love the bridal suite right at the top of the stately wooden staircase which has tip top views of the city, a wonderful four poster bed, and a comfy sitting area perfect for cuddling and sipping champers."

Review of The Alverton
Posted by Pauline BCustomer stayed Nov 2017
Lovely hotel; travelled down from East Anglia using Alverton as a base to see Cornwall. Brilliant to come home to on a cold winters evening. Roaring fire and a nightcap. Excellent meals would definitely visit again.
