Our Neighbourhood - Truro

Come & be a local - Hotel VARA is in a leafy quarter of Truro, the UK’s most southerly city, which often makes the list of best places to live. We think that it makes it a great place to visit too. 

It has historic Gothic & Georgian architecture, a criss-cross of cobbled roads, & small tucked away mews, parks & a riverside. Local independent shops, galleries & market traders rub shoulders with national retailers in an eclectic mix. There’s an independent cinema, the Royal Cornwall Museum, the Hall for Cornwall, & rising above it all, is the iconic architecture of the cathedral's three spires.

Here's where we share local ideas, about Truro & beyond the city!
