    We were happy with everything!

    The breakfast was great, all freshly cooked with nice choices. We had fruit and yoghurt, orange juice, bacon, & scrambled eggs with toast, blueberry muffins and coffee - - a perfect start to the day! Jenny, our host, made us very welcome and gave us ideas of where to eat at night. We went to Nook & Cranny at her suggestion and had a lovely meal, we were able to sit outside as it was a nice evening and the food was delicious there.

    Couldn't improve on this for a short stay

    After a tour involving six hotels it was a change to stay in a quiet B&B in a residential area of Truro. The owner and her husband were very helpful during our short stay; she is very friendly and went out of her way to please. Recommended a very good place for dinner in the town and made a lovely breakfast, including a pot of Yorkshire Tea for this traveller who was missing his home comforts!

    Jenny and Justin were amazing host's. We received a warm welcome from Jenny when we arrived and later engaged in a lovely conversation with Justin. Our room was comfortable and quiet. It felt like home. Jenny suggested a lovely spot for dinner which was about a 15 minute walk away. I would definitely stay there again.

    We booked the room with 2 twin beds, and they were a bit short for my partner. You may have some trouble sleeping comfortably if you're taller than 5'8".

    The host and her dog (Abby) were great, and we enjoyed meeting and breaking bread with fellow travelers. The bathroom was also nice and roomy. We liked that we were within walking distance of the park (with a waterfall) and from the main area of town where we could grab food.

    The breakfast was excellent. So much care and attention put into making our travel experience memorable. The decor of the whole place was beautiful and charming. Jennifer and Justin were friendly and most welcoming. We decided to stay in Abide Within during our arrival and departure in Truro. The close proximity to the train station was a plus for us. A charming place and we had a great experience and our fellow lodgers were wonderful too. Thank you Abide Within B&B, Jennifer and Justin for a great experience. We have already started recommending your place to friends and family.

    The dog Gabby was a bit of a surprise but she is respectfil nonetheless and we didnt see any hair (I believe she cannot climb the stairs).

    A genuine bed-and-breakfast, with the hostess being the resident-owner. Warm, friendly, chatty hostess was very obliging and full of local knowledge and stories. Home-style breakfast was good and provided an opportunity to discuss almost any subject. The home was warm and inviting and the room spacious and comfortable.
