Behind the doors of the Grade II listed building on Truro’s Lemon Street you’ll find a quirky, contemporary and independently owned hotel – Mannings. Perfectly located, with 34 rooms and a further nine four-star open plan apartments, as well as a busy neighbourhood bar and restaurant, Mannings has created city based stays catering to the needs of every kind of visitor.

Truro makes a great base for an exploration of Cornwall, particularly for those who aren’t keen on the coast, or would prefer more stylish city based stays, close to the restaurants, bars and theatre in the centre of Truro. The newly renovated Hall For Cornwall is mere steps away, making it a perfect Cornish version of a west-end stay. The railway station is also within walking distance, so you don’t even need to bring a car. Try their Date Night – Mannings Truro package, or A Night On The Town With Dinner, which includes accommodation and dinner for two people with a £35.00 dinner allowance, plus a continental breakfast buffet and complimentary car parking.

Owned and run by Lynn Manning and her long standing team, the hotel draws on a well deserved reputation built up over more than 30 years – loved by holiday and business visitors and locals alike.

Their stylish apartments won a Cornish Buildings Group award for the sensitive conversion of an historic site. Each one is spacious and light,  with open plan living and a fully fitted kitchen it’s up to the guest to decide whether to cook for themselves, grab a take away meal from M&S or step into Mannings restaurant. They are also dog friendly on the ground floor.
