This property was a great find in Truro. 10 minute walk to the venue and great value for money. Thank you Joanna!

7th Jul 2026

Lovely place, clean and great location and good communication with the host.
Sort of hostel vibes but even though they book the rooms separately they don’t mix you with strangers, they keep it for members of the same show which is fab.
Only negative is that the kitchen isn’t very well equipped. It doesn’t have an oven or a hob, just one hot plate. Which is a shame cause the kitchen is massive and a lovely place to hang out too.
Other than that, fab.
