Donnington Guesthouse

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.

Enjoyed our stay, very clean room and very comfortable beds. Easy parking and just a 20 min walk to city centre. Going back in October

Nice view cathedral, clean and comfortable. Good shower, car parking on site.

Ample off road parking and a lovely sized room. 15 minute walk to the centre of Truro. A lovely welcoming team too.

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

Parking was great. Check in straight forward. Room was a good size and quiet away from a busy road. Not luxurious but fine for an overnight stay. Price good for the location.

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

Lovely comfortable stay excellent value for money easy parking on site walkable into city centre.

Great overnight stop over whilst working. Full size fridge in room which was very handy. As was the little table. Clean bedding and clean bathroom.

Staff very welcoming and helpful. Having a fridge was great, comfortable bed

Clean and friendly

Incredible value for money. Clean, comfortable and friendly check-in.

Nice view cathedral, clean and comfortable. Good shower, car parking on site.

Good access very well placed opposite Lidl county arms within walking distance bed bit soft room very clean

Excellent value. Clean and comfy. 20 mins walk down to the city centre and a little longer back up.

Clean and comfortable

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!

Great overnight stop over whilst working. Full size fridge in room which was very handy. As was the little table. Clean bedding and clean bathroom.

Stayed overnight in family suite on top floor. Room was spotlessly clean with comfortable bed and large shower/bathroom with plenty of hot running water. Fridge and microwave in room. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Very friendly staff. Great value for money. Traffic noisy due to location but this is not a criticism, but earplugs may be useful if you are not used to city living and rush hr noise in the morning. Property is old, creaky and charming with good facilities.

Lovey room nice view from the window shower could have been a little more powerful

We really liked the room. It was roomy and the beds were very comfortable. We liked being at the top of the guest house. The table, chairs and small fridge were all very convenient. It was difficult to control the temperature on the shower and the toilet didn’t flush easily. Other than that we loved our experience. Thank you!

Good position for station as required. Otherwise would have stayed elsewhere with bigger ensuite which was a tad challenged for space

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.

Accommodation was adequate for our needs but quite dated and not very sound proof as we could hear tv/talking from another room and floors were very creaky. Also saw a leaflet for breakfast only to then find in the morning that it was room only and the property does not so breakfasts!

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?

Tracey was very friendly and welcoming.

My friend had a amazing stay very polite staff

Nothing to add.just a brief stay andfacilities fine.check in delayed by card machine but nothing untoward.

The room was quiet and comfortable. Check in was easy.

Ample off road parking and a lovely sized room. 15 minute walk to the centre of Truro. A lovely welcoming team too.

Very friendly reception.

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.

Staff very welcoming and helpful. Having a fridge was great, comfortable bed

It was only a 10 minute walk approx to station & 20 mins into the town. My room was well laid out and very good value for money. I would stay there again.

Good location near train station and town centre.

Good access very well placed opposite Lidl county arms within walking distance bed bit soft room very clean

Convenient for travel

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!

Lovely comfortable stay excellent value for money easy parking on site walkable into city centre.

Clean and convenient near the station but compared to other places I have stayed which included breakfast it is expensive.

Didn't do breakfast but a Lidl was opposite

A fine, old-fashioned English guest house. Be aware that it is NOT a bed and breakfast establishment any longer.

For the price, I cannot fault this accommodation. Really lovely staff, very basic rooms but good size, nice bath in the room I stayed in. Heating came on about 7pm bit cold before then but purely used the place to sleep in. Useful place to stay. Lidl is right opposite for basic essentials. No breakfast served lbut town is a 10 min walk with huge choice. Very happy

Really nice, large room in attic space with en-suite bathroom. Very friendly welcome. Easy parking at front of property. Three supermarkets within walking distance. Would have been nice to stay longer than one night.

Accommodation was adequate for our needs but quite dated and not very sound proof as we could hear tv/talking from another room and floors were very creaky. Also saw a leaflet for breakfast only to then find in the morning that it was room only and the property does not so breakfasts!

Great value for money. Well located, not far from a good pub. Easy to park. Cleam rooms and friendly owner. Would book again if needed.

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.
