Hotel Vara - A Scandi-inspired townhouse hotel with hybrid meeting facilities and artisan dining in Truro's leafy quarter
Located in a residential neighborhood of Truro, this 4-star establishment offers 30 individually appointed rooms across several categories, from single bolthole rooms to accessible ground-floor accommodations. Hotel Vara features a dedicated meeting space equipped with a 50-inch screen and state-of-the-art polybar for remote conferencing. The property's social spaces include a fireside lounge, Scandi-inspired breakfast room, and INK Bar serving local beers, wines, and artisan pizzas. A 'more than' continental breakfast buffet showcases house-made granola, Cornish yogurt, and freshly baked croissants. This Truro hotel provides complimentary on-site parking with EV charging stations and secure bicycle storage. Positioned just off the A390 on Falmouth Road, Hotel Vara stands within a 10-minute walk of the city center and 15 minutes from the railway station. Three premier surf beaches lie within 20 miles on the north coast.
Pros
Direct access to cycling routes with bike delivery service available
Hybrid meeting facilities with professional in-house catering
Flexible dining options including breakfast-to-go and evening artisan pizzas
Located in a quiet residential area while maintaining walking distance to city attractions
Cons
21.5 miles distance from Newquay Airport

“This townhouse hotel, with its Scandi-influenced design, offers more than just a comfortable stay; it's a versatile base for exploring Truro and beyond. Its location in a leafy residential area, away from the bustle, lends a relaxed atmosphere, enhanced by communal spaces suited for both work and leisure. I think its commitment to local produce and dog-friendly accommodations makes it a standout choice.”
