Stay in the famous haunted prison!
HauntedHistoricalJail
Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, the Bodmin Jail Hotel is a truly unique accommodation experience that offers guests more than just a place to stay.
The hotel, once a fully operational 18th-century prison, has been transformed into unique luxury boutique hotel while preserving much of its original features. Once a pioneering prison under King George III, it held both women and men in individual cells with advanced amenities for its time. Over its life, the jail hosted 55 executions, served as a Royal Navy facility, and even stored the Crown Jewels during World War I. After closing in 1927, it stood neglected until its stunning transformation into a contemporary marvel blending history and design.
Today each room is designed with modern comforts in mind but preserving features that hint at its former life. The restoration process was carefully undertaken to maintain the jail's distinct character, including the preservation of its original stone walls and cell doors, giving guests an immersive historical experience.
Beyond its architectural and historical appeal, Bodmin Jail Hotel has gained notoriety for another reason - its alleged supernatural residents. Thrill-seekers and ghost hunters alike are drawn to this hotel for a chance to encounter the paranormal, something the hotel embraces with its themed events and ghost tours.
But it's not just about ghosts and history; the hotel is also praised for its exceptional service and amenities, including a gourmet restaurant set within the jail's former chapel, providing an atmospheric dining experience unlike any other.
Situated in a region known for its scenic beauty and historic sites, unique Bodmin Jail Hotel serves as an ideal base for exploring Cornwall, offering a uniquely fascinating backdrop to a visit filled with adventures, relaxation, and discovery.
