Pros:

Für eine Nacht war es ok. Bett war bequem. Zimmer ruhig gelegen (auch wenn etwas hellhörig)

Cons:

Doppelbett war zu zweit zu eng, hatten aber ein drittes Bett. Frühstück war sehr spärlich. Cappucino musste extra bezahlt werden. Wir kamen pünktlich zu Beginn des Frühstücks, aber schon fast alles weg, da grössere Reisegruppe dort bereits saß. Hat dann leider etwas gedauert, bis alles wieder da war

Nice quiet location in Truro City and easy access both to the front and rear of property for car
Pros:

Breakfast was enjoyable for our brief visit of a couple of days as there is no cooked option but maybe would need a change if staying for longer.
Our room was also adequate for a short stay but would have been a little uncomfortable in really hot weather.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
