Bodmin Jail Hotel

Breakfast was amazing and the accomodation excellent.

The room was exceptionally comfortable. The bed was large with great pillows. It had a very good ensuite with a very powerful shower. It was all very clean. There was a mini-bar with complimentary soft drinks and real milk for tea and coffee. It was lovely and quiet. It was a dog friendly destination. Our dog settled there well and enjoyed her breakfast sausage each day. The staff were professional and friendly. We liked the little touches, such as their stripey tops with "property of hmp Bodmin." The building maintained its history whilst being luxurious for guests. There was plenty of easy parking. The breakfasts were delicious.

On site parking. The staff at reception were friendly and efficient. The room was comfortable and clean, with complimentary mini-bar and well-stocked tea/coffee facilities. The onsite restaurant was very good, and breakfast excellent with a choice of hot food cooked to order, and a buffet with bread, pastries, fruit, cheese, etc. And of course the fascinating location; Despite being converted into a smart hotel, you never lose sight of the fact that this was once a notorious jail.

EVERYTHING! Fantastic place to stay. First, we want to give kudos to the staff. Jade, Oli, Caitlyn, and everyone in reception were friendly, helpful, and efficient. Wait staff in the dining room at both breakfast and dinner were wonderful. Aday was our dinner waiter both nights and was very friendly. We weren't able to get the names of the others, but they were great. Staff we met anywhere in the hotel were friendly. We loved our room. Whoever designed the rooms "did it right" by maintaining the integrity of the original cells to create comfortable and unique rooms (each room consists of 3 original cells: bathroom, sitting area, bedroom area), including the stone walls and ceilings. Our bathroom had both a shower stall and a separate tub. The bed was very comfortable. There was a safe available to use in the room. The food for both breakfast and dinner was delicious. The hotel is conveniently located across from the Camel Trail, which we availed ourselves of for a pleasant walk. We are glad we treated ourselves to 2 nights at the Bodmin Jail Hotel to give us some relaxing time in a unique setting before our 10-day Cornwall hiking trip.

If you are looking for a quirky unique stay then this hotel fits the bill. Rooms are fabulous and there are loads of nice touches round the hotel, like pictures and bits of information about the history of the place.
