The Hundred House Hotel Truro

General Information

Welcome to the Hundred House Hotel and Fish in The Fountain Restaurant in Truro. Among different uses and ownerships throughout its recorded heritage, the enjoyable building, dating back to the 1790s, hosted in the 1st half of the nineteenth century the Court House for the Hundred of South Powder. Later, in the possession of an Admiralty surgeon, it became a gracious gentleman's residence. During the 1950s, the Hundred House took on its status of an hotel, which nowadays - embedded in its own 3 acres of grounds - silent contains that elegance and fascination of a bygone era. From the moment you step interior the extensive lounge with its brilliant Victorian hand-carved mahogany staircase, you receive the feeling of a rural and intimate farmstead hotel promising a sincere welcome. The park-like terraces propose the possibility to enjoy a Cornish cream tea or a game of croquet on the lawn. Take a walk through Pixie Glen or even sit by the lily pond, enveloped by the scents of sub-tropical flowering shrubs and plants. Sympathetically equipped and embellished throughout with antiques, pleasant china, crystal, antique photographs, oil paintings and bunchs of flowers cut from our nursery, the social apartments are cozy and comfortable, inviting you to unbend as you would at home. Cuisine is at the very heart of the Hotel, with the Fish in the Fountain Restaurant proving not just our award winning chef's passion for fish and seafood, but furthermore providing an imaginative daily changing carte menu. We use seasonal homegrown salads, tomatoes, fruit and herbs in addition to lovely local fish, game, poultry, sweet Cornish lamb and other exotic meats. Our breakfast carte menu is 95% homegrown and come the summer with our own ripe tomatoes it will be 100%. Self-sufficient Range Chickens & Pigs roam in the park. We are only a extremely short drive or stroll to the nearest coast. Most of Cornwall is just 1 hours drive from us. Eden, thirty minutes Heligan,
