The Bodmin Jail Hotel★★★★

Inspector comments
"An alluring blend of the past with the opulence of the present."
Overview
The Bodmin Jail Hotel offers a unique experience; a distinctly different hotel with a history stretching back to the 18th century. The transformation achieved here is amazing, austerity replaced by comfort and quality with stylish bedrooms, impressive bathrooms and breath-taking architecture. Cuisine is also notable here, elegant dining offered in the atmospheric Chapel restaurant, perhaps preceded by a cocktail in the Champagne Bar. There is also a museum on site which is well worth a visit to learn more about the fascinating background here.
