The amenities included a fridge, microwave and kettle. However, it would be best to grab your own bathroom amenities as there was only a handwash and what I believe to be a all-in-one bodywash in the shower.

Room needed a freshen up, looked tired, parking good. Needs somme hooks in bathroom. Sink in bathroom was ridiculously small. Had a large fridge and table in the room all out of proportion for the size of the room. No storage. Bathroom needed a freshen up.

Coming from Devon and knowing I'd have an overnight stay in Treliske hospital we needed somewhere for my partner to stay that night and for both of us to stay at least one night after that before facing the drive back home.
Donnington House could not have been more ideal, I chose it initially as it was only about six minutes drive from the hospital.
The manager was able to give us a ground floor 'family' room which had a fridge (essential in the heat wave at the time) it also had a microwave. The en-suite was small but the shower was efficient with plenty of hot water.
There is a Lidl directly opposite and a Sainsbury with petrol station just along the road. The road, although busy, was not noisy.
The day I arrived there I decided I would probably need an extra night an and fortunately this was able to be arranged without any fuss.
I'd like to thank all the staff who helped reduce my stress levels due to my health, and for making our trip as pleasant, considering the circumstances, as it could be.

The room and shower were spotless. It had everything you needed even a fridge and a microwave. The lady who greeted us on Friday afternoon was very lovely and helpful. Our room was out the back of the property so was very quiet of road noise. You could here other rooms tv above but only when it was silent.
The room didn't have a fan, although we didn't need one, if we had been staying a third night I'm sure we would have done due to it being so hot this weekend.
Otherwise it was a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend it for anyone staying in Truro.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom both very spacious and comfortable. I slept well! A great location for a one night stay. Easy to walk to and from the centre of Truro and the railway station.
The room was clean as was the bathroom aside from the bath (there were hairs in it). I didn't want to use it anyway but would have been nice to see it clean.
The walls are thin so guests have to be considerate in the evening (TV and voice levels kept low).

The staff are lovely and the room was cleaned daily, which was appreciated. However, the room itself is very dated.
The same applies to the bathroom, it appeared clean, but is clearly in need of refurbishment.

There was visible mould on the ceiling and around the tiles, which felt more like a maintenance issue than something related to recent storm damage.

After reading earlier reviews from last year, it’s a shame that some of these issues still haven’t been addressed. I was told a painter is due in, so the guesthouse is aware, but it didn’t really change my experience during the stay.

The shower pressure was quite low, and the temperature was inconsistent. It would switch from warm to very hot without any adjustment, which made it difficult to use.

On the positive side, the bed was very comfortable and I slept well. The heating is on a timer rather than user-controlled, but it worked fine during my stay.

Overall, it was reasonably priced, but the property would benefit from some updates and general maintenance.

The staff member was pleasant but the room was grim and the bathroom worse. I didn't want to use the towels as they looked grey, frayed and so old. I don't think it's fair to continue to portray this place as a guesthouse when it's more of a place that would be a hostel or a tradies stop off. It either needs complete renovation or more accurate portrayal in advertising. It's not somewhere to use as a holiday guesthouse.

A few positives are that there's good parking, a Lidl over the road and it's about 15 minutes walk into town (more on the way back as it's uphill).

I wouldn't stay again and would have decided not to stay after seeing the bathroom if I hadn't been so tired.

Clean and comfortable room. The toilet for my room was down the corridor (shower was in the room) which I initially thought is a bit inconvenient, but it was for my use only and I never bumped into anyone in the corridor.

An ambivolent experience.

Very friendly check in. Informative and pleasant.

Room smelt damp, odorus actually. Wallpaper looking like it's about to fall off. However, it wasn't the bedding, the bathroom or the fridge. It wasn't unbearable and knowing it was just a night I didn't say anything.

Window wouldn't open, which might be the reason for the damp, but in the end it was not an issue because the room was quite cool despite it being over 25°C during the day. Again, I didn't ask, but it could have been unlocked (or needs repair).

Best night sleep I'd had that week, however. Shower was an older unit but whoever used it before has set it to maximum (you can't use it like that, that's how those things cycle, it's a safeguard!)

Didn't have breakfast. About 20-30 minutes walk to the centre each way, but there are buses nearby and the train is very convenient. Parking looked more than enough for the number of rooms. Two supermarkets within 5 minute walk, a pub within 10.

My overall impression is that (between my experience and the reviews) the owners / staff are trying. However, it looks they're in a period of 'upgrade'. I would think about trying this place again in a few years (reviews pending) but not within the near future.

Perfect for what our family of 4 needed (Two adults, 3 year old & 4 month old). Very friendly welcome, our room was the perfect size, beds were comfy and the fridge in the room meant we could pre make formula bottles instead of making them in the middle of the night. Only a 4 minute drive from where we wanted to be in the centre of Truro. Highly recommend and would stay again if we ever needed to be back in the area.

Wonderful for first time in Cornwall

It was such a lovely little place to find in Truro and was greeted by a very kind lady who walked me to my room, asked me how my journey was and explained everything I needed. It was as simple as needing to remember to take a set of keys with me when I left. The bedroom was immaculate with fresh linen, two bedside tables with lamps, chairs with a little table and a decent tv! The bed was so comfortable to sleep on and I slept better than I thought! There was little chocolates and fresh towels whenever I came back after a long day. The only few downsides were that the shower spray strength was a bit weak and the hotel is at the top of the hill but for my first time in Cornwall, it was absolutely brilliant to see the town (including the amazing cathedral) from my bedroom window!

Lovely landlady, really helpful! Comfy beds and clean facilities. Lidl opposite and Sainsbury's less than 5 min walk away, so that was breakfast easily sorted! Lovely pub a 19 min walk away - The County Arms. Really good food but huge portions, so make sure you're hungry when you arrive! 20ish min downhill walk into Truro (we drove, as the steep walk back up would have been too much) Good location on a main route but not too noisy. Parking can be limited but you can always park in Lidl. Would definitely stay again!

It’s a guest house not a hotel. Check in was quick and friendly. Basic room and had a shower. Toilet down the hall which is not a problem. Nothing much in the area other than a Tescos (Sunday. Closed at 4pm!) walk into town is doable. At this price point for a one night stay as a solo traveller, this property was just fine.

Checked in and was given room 3 on 1st floor at the front of the house overlooking Lidl. Twin beds as expected, one quite soft, the other firmer. There was a full sized fridge and microwave in the room, tea and coffee and biscuits, lovely white towels and spotless bed linen , a kettle and mugs a microwave and windows that opened!! All great. There were thoughtful touches like chocolate on the pillow which were very welcome. For me, there was only a couple of not very important niggles. The toilet was an electric one which didn’t flush wadte away very easily. The motor was quite noisy which could have been a problem especially as it went on for some time afyer flushing. It took several flushes to clear the bowl. So i was very glad i was on my own! The major problem was the sink. It was tiny! This made filling the kettle ( full sized) impossible so it had to be filled a mug at a time. Unfortunately, the water was brown from the tap for the first night(i was there for 2) so it wasn't drinkable. This is a common problem in rural areas and easily remedied by crossing the road and buying a bottle at Lidl! The shower was lovely so i was extremely happ overall. Excellent value for money. No food provided but there is lidl opposite and a Sainsburys with a cafe about 5 mins along the road. A plate and cutlery would have been needed to use the microwave. Overall, a good stay

Not really value for money.

Room was tidy but in need of modernisation. We did not get a good night's sleep because of our neighbours noisy power shower at 6am. The main road outside was also noisy even though we had shut the windows. There was no breakfast included, which could have been made clearer on the hotel details. Not enough car parking spaces for the number of guests.

When we arrived we were abruptly greeted. I assumed it was some miscommunication, but whilst being checked in another guest arrived. She was dealt with even more poorly. I'd go as far as saying the member of staff was ignorant. If this was my place I'd have been embarrassed. The second day we met another member of staff, who was extremely pleasant. Completely chalk and cheese. The place is tired. Our room had no hot water, and the radiator didn't work. The shower was hit and miss. The TV had appalling reception and all channels kept dropping out, making it unusable even as background. The beds were not the most comfortable and they had no top sheet, just a small quilt. The bathroom could have done with some shelves.

It had plenty of parking, and was conveniently located.

Fridge and kettle in room a plus. Shower was poor, faulty temperature control? It went from scalding to freezing in the turn of a few degrees. Unable to alert staff as no one around after we had checked in around 4:30pm and no one in morning when we left. Breakfast was included in the booking, but no information given when checked in, and no sign of breakfast facilities when we got up at 8am, so bought breakfast locally. Room decor was poor and outdated. Only saw one member if staff, a young girl who took our payment when we arrived. Overall there was a lack of customer service and the stay was underwhelming for the price. We wish we had done as we usually do and booked the local Premier Inn, which was slightly cheaper and would have been much more comfortable (but did not included breakfast, which we didn't get anyway). Sadly we would not stay here again or recommend to friends.

The hotel was fine as a base to visit this part of Cornwall it was clean and the staff helpful and friendly car parking was no problem.
The only slight disadvantage there was nowhere to sit outside if you got back before your evening meal other than sitting in your room. However we enjoyed our stay

I called ahead to let them know we were arriving after the train arrived at the station at 9:45 pm, which was okay with them. The host’s cat met us while we waited at the front door (we love cats and it was very friendly). The host brought us to the room on the top floor, and we were delighted at the beautiful view of Truro’s cathedral in the distance (same direction as the amazing sunrise in the morning). The en-suite bathroom was up a half flight of stairs from the beds. The sink and toilet were vintage but clean, and the shower was new with a tankless water heater that made for a satisfying shower. Neighborhood was quiet, and we slept very well there.

For 50 pounds it served it's purpose, especially since it was close to the train station, but I would have loved a chair to sit in outside on the patio. There was nowhere to sit. Since it was really hot, a flat sheet would have also been a welcome addition. Leaving the window open was rather noisy being next to the street, but had to have it open since the space was quite hot. Perhaps a fan?
