**Luxury | History | Cornwall**
When constructed in 1779, Bodmin Jail was an innovative milestone in prison design with its individual cells and sanitation. It has now been transformed into a luxury boutique hotel with an immersive visitor attraction and an authentic heritage museum which give visitors an experience of life in the former jail. Combined, these give our guests a unique haven of style, luxury and experience, set within breath-taking historic surroundings.
The Bodmin Jail is firmly established within the luxury leisure market, offering a 70-bedroom boutique hotel, a visitor attraction and a heritage museum, all in one location. Located in the heart of Cornwall, our one-of-a-kind property provides the setting for new stories, cherished memories and unlimited possibilities. We delight our guests with our sophisticated yet cosy Champagne Bar, our signature destination restaurant, and our more relaxed Courtyard restaurant for both daytime and night-time dining - inside and al fresco, when the weather permits - plenty of unique spaces to soak up all the heritage and intrigue of this amazing place.
