1 / 8The Alverton Hotel
Truro, Cornwall
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A former convent on a hill in Truro, now a hotel with its own bell tower, where dogs get bowls, treats and a welcome in the bar.
Before it was The Alverton, this was a convent for the Sisters of the Epiphany, and it keeps the bell tower, slate roof, arched mullioned windows and ivy clad walls to show for it. It stands on its hill within walking distance of everything Truro has to offer, five minutes on foot from the city centre, a dog friendly hotel with the town on its doorstep.
Dogs stay in a selection of dog friendly rooms, and each one is welcomed with a water bowl and a food bowl for the night and some gourmet treats from Sir Woofchester. The hotel welcomes well behaved dogs. Its dog page doesn't mention the number of dogs per room, or if a dog may stay in the room on its own, so ask about both when you book.
The bar is where your dog can join you: well behaved dogs are welcome there and out on the terrace. Expect artisan spirits, local brews and Cornish ales, and in the evening cocktails and a casual bite to eat at the bar or on the terrace. On the restaurant, the dog page doesn't say, so check before booking a table there with your dog. The kitchen holds two AA rosettes, and the cocktail list draws on Cornish folklore.
Rooms are split between the main house and The Courtyard, where arched doorways, original flagstone floors and exposed brickwork sit alongside bespoke furnishings. The hotel has its own guide to public gardens within a 30 minute drive. Every one on it welcomes dogs. Wildpack's Trelissick Estate and Roundwood Quay Walk is 3.4 miles from the door, and Pendower Beach, 6 miles away, is the closest of Wildpack's dog friendly beaches.
