4 Silver Star hotel in a historic former convent with two AA Rosette dining
Historic Setting
The Alverton is a Grade II* listed building with gothic-revival architecture, originally built as a convent in the nineteenth century. The hotel holds a four silver star rating, and its restaurant has been awarded two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. Guests enter through an oak door past ivy-draped stone walls and mullioned windows, with original features preserved throughout.
Dining
The restaurant overlooks landscaped gardens, ancient beech and maple trees, and an array of bright flora. Head Chef Ollie Wyatt creates seasonal menus that rely on local ingredients from Cornwall. In warmer weather, the terrace serves signature cocktails and Cornish cream teas.
Rooms & Suites
The Courtyard suites offer extra opulence with roll-top bath tubs, designer furnishings, and stained-glass windows. Room categories include Garden View, Superior Courtyard, and Classic Double or Twin rooms, all marrying classic stately home touches with contemporary interiors. Some rooms feature two bathrooms, walk-in showers, and separate baths.
Location & Grounds
The hotel sits within beautifully landscaped gardens with a sun terrace and picnic area, uncommon for a city hotel. It is a 10-minute walk to Truro city centre and Truro Cathedral. Nearby attractions include the Eden Project, Trelissick Garden, and the North Cornwall coastline.
Amenities & Services
The Alverton is pet-friendly, offering complimentary welcome gifts for dogs. The property has free parking, an electric vehicle charging station, and family rooms. Facilities for disabled guests are available, and the hotel provides 24-hour front desk service and meeting/banquet spaces.
