After almost 100 years of ruin, Bodmin Jail on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall will finally reopen, this time to visitors and guests, as The Bodmin Jail Hotel. It opens in February 2021.
The Bodmin Jail Hotel is built around the famous 18th century prison which in addition to housing notorious criminals was also a safe house for the Crown Jewels during the First World War.
The Bodmin Jail Hotel will have 70 bedrooms, created by combining three former cells, whilst retaining their original features such as the weathered stone walls and jail cell doors – and with the added attraction of free-standing baths, walk-in showers, luxury bedding and modern amenities.
The Chapel Restaurant at The Bodmin Jail Hotel will be housed in the jail’s old chapel with the Chapel Bar in what was once the Governor’s Office.
The Bodmin Jail Hotel will have three meeting spaces each fully equipped with the latest AV technology and accommodating up to 14 delegates.
Bodmin Jail Hotel is less than a mile from Bodmin station and offers plenty of on-site parking. Local attractions in addition to the moors and the Cornish beaches include the Eden Project.
