Springtime Sanctuary

Push open the door to the secret garden and uncover The Alverton during Cornwall’s softest season.

Hidden on a secret hillside in the heart of Cornwall’s cathedral city, The Alverton provides a fresh and unfurling backdrop of greenery as spring makes its way to Truro, shrouded as it is by ancient trees and well-established grounds.

Dating back to 1830, a secret garden surrounds grand architecture that once began as a manor house, and even housed a convent. Today, this ivy-edged hotel is a luxurious retreat for all who might seek a little springtime sanctuary.

Sink-into beds occupy opulent rooms, each one designed to make the most of its gorgeous heritage, while contemporary touches accompany unique, original features. Think roll-top tubs and cosy furnishings, a view of the gardens from an arched window.

Downstairs, the two AA-Rosette awarded restaurant makes for quiet moments made for two over fine flavours and perfect pairings. With provenance and seasonality always in mind, Head Chef Ollie Wyatt’s menus offer an indulgent glimpse into the very best local ingredients, always with a side of classic Cornish hospitality.

A list of signature cocktails may well tempt you to take up a seat in the bar, warmed on cold days by a flickering open fire. On bright spring days, a seat on the terrace under the trees is made complete with a lavish afternoon tea, or a glass of something chilled before the evening draws in and cosy beds beckon.

What’s more, for those looking to make the most of Cornwall’s softest season, The Alverton’s Cornish Spring Getaway offers a stay for two from £159, with the added perk of a cream tea to share, or a classic cocktail each, not to mention a delicious breakfast every morning.

With the train station nearby, the best of the county’s beaches, towns and attractions are well within reach of this historic hotel.
