I have stayed here before and enjoyed my stay this time as well but please consider air conditioning going forward.
Pros:

I really like the actual building it has a lot of character and is very historic. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly, polite and efficient.
The breakfast options were really good and overall the food was very enjoyable.

Cons:

My room was very far from both reception and the car park and because I had a lot of bags this meant quite a bit of walking back and forth.I stayed when it was a very hot day and although the room had a fan it was still very hot and humid in the room and it really could do with some air conditioning. In addition there was quite a bit of noise late at night from other guests opening and closing doors. Sometimes the room would actually shake from this.

Super!
Pros:

Lovely location, hidden in gardens but walking distance to the center of town. Large rooms, new bathrooms, firm beds, nice bar, lovely gardens. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

Not much, it does cater for conferences so larger groups do come in.

Pros:

Great location a few minutes walk to the town centre. I had an early morning hospital appointment and so stayed here as it is also close. I don't feel I got the full experience of the Alverton as it was very busy the only morning I was there and I wasn't able to have breakfast but looking around the breakfast looked good and I look forward to trying it next time I visit. The room was lovely and clean and staff were lovely.

Great visuals, but comfort falls short
Pros:

The hotel definitely has a strong visual charm, but unfortunately, the reality of staying here put a damper on the overall impression.
➕ Pros:
Aesthetics & Location: Very beautiful grounds and a great location — the hotel looks stylish and highly photogenic.
Staff: Extremely friendly and welcoming team.
Room Amenities: The room had absolutely everything we needed. The exceptionally wide selection of tea and coffee-making facilities was a wonderful touch.
Dining: The breakfasts were quite tasty.

Cons:

Unfortunately, two major downsides completely ruined everything good about this hotel:
Odors & Dampness: Inside, there is a heavy, unpleasant, stale smell. The hotel tries to mask it with essential oils, but this only makes the situation worse. The air inside is so humid that your clothes become damp almost instantly (and this was during days with only brief, light rain).
The Wardrobe Issue: There is literally nowhere to put your clothes. The authentic antique wardrobe smelled so awful inside that we were afraid to even open it — your clothes would have instantly soaked up that terrible odor.
Lack of Attention to Detail (for a premium room!): We booked an upgraded suite, but the cleanliness left much to be desired. The extractor fan in the bathroom was dirty and covered in cobwebs, there were cobwebs in the corners of the room, and the entrance door was heavily scuffed and scratched. For a higher-tier room, this is unacceptable.
📌 Verdict:
If your only goal is to take striking photos for Instagram in beautiful interiors, then a 1-night stay is perfectly fine. But honestly, after a long day of exploring Cornwall, returning here three nights in a row was the last thing we wanted to do. We would not come back.
