The Alverton

The Alverton and The Greenbank are sister hotels in Cornwall with a shared mission: to deliver relaxed luxury with a distinctive sense of place

Tucked away at the top of a winding drive and surrounded by mature gardens, The Alverton is Truro’s hidden gem. Once a convent, the Grade II*-listed building is just ten minutes’ walk from the city centre – though you’d never know it. Ivy-clad walls, curved archways and atmospheric architecture give it escapist vibes.

While it’s perfectly positioned for exploring the rest of Cornwall, The Alverton has everything guests need for a weekend of rest and indulgence – you need never actually leave this tranquil spot. Sip cocktails or take afternoon tea on the terrace, then linger over dinner in its award-winning restaurant.

The bedrooms and suites – spread between the historic main house and The Courtyard – pair tranquil tones with tactile textures. Read our review of The Alverton here.

In nearby Falmouth, The Greenbank sits right on the sweeping harbour. It’s one of Falmouth’s oldest hotels and the only one in the South West to boast its own quay and private pontoon. The sleek retreat delivers panoramic harbour views from the restaurant, rooms and suites.

From local produce-led fine dining at its Water’s Edge restaurant to handmade cocktails on the terrace and indulgent afternoon teas, The Greenbank dishes up flavour with flair.
