Nice but tired

The pub is a nice character place from the outside but inside needs some tlc. It's really a good locals boozer with rooms. Can be noisy both later on at night (I stayed on a Monday which seems to be student night). In the morning you get sound's of the city waking up, Garbage lorry at 5am. No breakfast either so don't expect it, but on the plus your right on the town for dining out etc. Wouldn't rule it out but might look elsewhere first.

Very good customer service, I was allocated room No 1 which is a nice big room with 3 windows so good light & fresh air, the room has a very comfortable big bed (& very clean bedding) so I got a great nights sleep, the bathroom is a good size with high quality fittings including a great shower, the room can be accessed without going through the pub so that's a plus too and I was very impressed by their Covid 19 precautions so overall a A ......and I would stay there again !!

The Barley Sheaf's location was perfect and had a lovely view of the Cathedral from the garden and conservatory. The place itself was stylish and well kept with very friendly accomodating staff that made me feel relaxed and at home. The room was spotlessly clean with good amenities and the bed was very comfortable. I will definitely be booking with them again and look forward to another pleasant stay in the future.

lovely location right next to the cathedral, nice rooms, great shower, fluffy towels! I did request a quiet room and was placed in room 1 overlooking the beer garden which was busy until 11.45pm. A hot summer evening but not very quiet! Only one staff member on the breakfast shift, but she seemed to cope well.

Staff friendly and helpful and excellent position, in the city center and nearby Cathedral. Not good value for money- cleanliness not good, room at the arrival was very cold and radiator not working. According to Expedia check-out was by 11am but at 09:15 one of the housekeeper tried to enter in the room with her key. Then, breakfast was poor,not much choose. Plates and bowls were dirty and we had to ask for butter, sugar and other stuff as they were missing from the buffet table. Very disappointed - we expected a better service for what we paid for.

B&B in a quiet pub in the centre of town

This is a B&B in a pub right next to the cathedral. We had a warm welcome from the landlords and a comfortable night. The pub and rooms are due to be refurbished in mid October 2015, so this review only has a short validity. The room was quiet: great shower, but the decor is ready for the refurb. Reasonable breakfast In the conservatory by the river but some local sausages would have been nice. Parking is in the pay and display nearby.

Very central

You can almost touch Truro cathedral from your room, the pub downstairs looks a little untidy (but a new owner is about to take over), the bedrooms are excellent, almost to 5* hotel standard

Barley review

The hotel, on first impression, looked very run down and out dated. After checking in we went to our room, which was comfortable and realatively clean. The noise was a problem, especially from the student bar in close proximity to the hotel. The food (breakfast) was excellent and the reception staff were exceptional, would bend over backwards to help. A tip for anyone planning to stay B&B at this hotel, make sure that breakfast is included on your paperwork, otherwise you will not get any!!!!

Short stay at The Barley, Truro.

We enjoyed a two night stay in Truro at The Barley. Initial impressions weren't great, as the outside does need to be tidied up, but once inside it is nicely laid out and tidy. Our room was spacious and clean, but the decor could do with touching up in a few places. The staff were excellent - really friendly, and were always on hand to answer any questions we had, and serve food/drinks. The bar area was a pleasant area to relax when we returned each evening.
