Had a lovely 4-night stay at Donnington Guest House. Paula, who greeted me, was very friendly and welcoming. It's a simple no-frills place (no breakfasts, but that was clear from the booking site), in a very good location — not too far to walk from the railway station, free on-site parking (not needed in this case because I hadn't come by car, but good to know for another time). Room was comfy and well furnished, with a fridge as well as a kettle. Lidl and Sainsbury's within easy walking distance for supplies! This was a very convenient place to stay for an event I was attending (the Cornish Language Weekend) at the County Hall very nearby. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely consider Donnington again in future!

Only serious problem was that the bathroom basin and shower weren't draining properly the first time I used them. But I phoned the owners to report this and the man I spoke to was very helpful and assured me they'd get it looked at. The issue was fixed by the end of that day and there were no further problems. Many thanks!

The location was great, the beds were very comfortable and with a bonus of free parking on site and a good size fridge in the room which if you were staying for longer than 1 night would be really useful. We were also able to park earlier than check in and just pick up keys so we didn’t have to come back to check in which was really helpful to us thank you.

We ran out of milk for the tea/coffee facilities so a bit more would have been nice. Because we booked 2 x twin rooms we were in the 2 separate houses but was not a problem for us and is obviously dictated by where the rooms are located.

my husband and I like to stay just outside of city centers away from noise, and this location was perfect. it's about 5 min drive or 15 min walk to the middle of the city center and right across the street from an aldi. we had Room 1 which had such a great view of the city and cathedral! also a microwave and fridge so we were able to keep our grocceries fresh. staff were very helpful, and the room was comfortable and clean do note that if you enjoy walking, the stay is on a hill so you'll be walking uphill at some point if you've walked downhill to get around. great stay and value and would recommend !

we didnt dislike anything. but I'll just note that if anyone has mobility issues, I think all rooms are up at least one flight of stairs. also there was a ticking or dripping noise that was nonstop from about 8pm until 7am but it didn't prevent us from getting a good nights rest. it could have been pipes or external or another room, but it didnt keep us awake.

Although there was no breakfast the cafe close to the bus station compensated for that. As a traveller by public transport (I like to go places by bus),a hundred yards along the road by the big Sainsbury's you can head for St Ives, Falmouth Penzance etc,loved it 🕉️

I didn't like the fact that I tried to use Google maps to find the address which was not successful. Anyone going to the Donnington guest house from Truro rail station it's simple, turn right out of the station,walk up the hill to Sainsbury's, turn left and keep going. Ten minute walk. That's it really 🕉️

Originally booked for easy access to a works event which fell through, 2 rooms were booked and we continued with our stay regardless, having a well needed and well earned staff night out instead. The host was there to meet and welcome us to the property and was very warm and friendly, which gave the property a relaxed vibe. The rooms had all that was needed for an overnight stay and were clean and comfortable, with a few little extras which were nice. Although the Donnington is a little way out of the city centre, it was just a 10/15 minute walk downhill to the capital. The property is right on the main road and close to a couple of supermarkets for essentials and necessities anyway so was very handy for this purpose. Overall none of us (6 trainees turned partygoers) could fault the place, nor the stay, and if planning a night out in Truro again, would definitely check availability to book The Donnington in the future.

Room was cozy and had character. We appreciated having a small fridge in addition to the kettle. There is a Lidl across the street, so meals on the cheap were easy. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was large. Everything was immaculately clean.

It was a bit harder to reach by foot from the train station than we realized (especially with two suitcases each) as it is uphill. Be prepared to pay for a taxi if you are not traveling light or are not terribly fit.

The beds are comfortable. It was good value. Walking distance to truro station. They are pet friendly! There was a small table so my family was able to have coffee and bread in the morning together. Working kettle, microwave and fridge. TV was decent as well, you get the usual channels. Also, they have a cute little honesty book shelf by the lobby, managed to leave a holiday book. Toilet was clean. They made up our room upon request, you just have to hang the sign by the door. I think the heating has a schedule? Probably only at night but there was a portable heater that managed to heat up the room.

The carpet could have used some vacuuming, we found a single toenail on it! We almost stepped on it haha It was probably because it was the easter weekend so they were operating on a skeleton crew but we only met one staff and we wanted to ask if we can have a hairdryer because it was only a hairdryer box inside the drawer for some reason, one of the other guests probably nicked it lol.

Convenient location. Plenty of parking. Spacious room and bathroom. Undercoated refrigerator in bedrokm great gor storing drinks etc. Quiet place even though on main road. Lovely lady who runs it. Excellent value. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again and happy to recommend.

My only small critique would be radiator in bathroom large towel handing type. Great for drying towels and having them warmed. Temp was a little to high as it was very hot day when we stayed and it heated the entire bedroom and bathroom. Couldn't figure how to turn it down. But deffo don't let that put you off as I would book again for sure. Lovely place to stay

Was let room 1, a very spacious room with a view of Truro from the top of a hill. Kettle tea/coffee WiFi tv sofa and table and chairs + fridge and microwave.. Good shower. The booking had not been registered but the staff were quick to sort things ! I would return

Because I had to book online and wasn't expected when I arrived, the room was cold (but warmed up). The bathroom was cold - I didn't manage to see how to turn on the wall radiator. No breakfast

This was our third time staying at donnington and I can confidently say their standards have not dropped. Staff are still very lovely, location has always been convenient for us, rooms very clean, bed very comfy, toiletries and bins were checked everyday and after talking to a staff member we learnt that they try their best to keep the prices as low as they can and I can confidently say each year we’ve come the prices have been very good. Would highly recommend :)
