Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Excellent in every way. Nice rooms, spacious, made up of three cells. Wonderful bathroom with bath and separate shower. Amazing breakfast that was included. Plenty of character. Free parking. My girlfriend says room slightly dusty but I didn’t notice. A coffee machine would have been nice (rather than instant coffee). Highly recommended.

Was a facinating hotel. Never stayed in a jail before. Rooms were basically three cells made into a double bedroom ensuite. Very tastefully done.

The hotel is amazing in so many ways. The history of the place, that you can see when you walk around, and read the plaques, the staff are very professional and helpful, the rooms are so well done, and gorgeous to stay in, with comfy beds meaning a great nights sleep every night! Great choice at Breakfast to start your day. Can't wait to come back again!

Bodmin Jail

Bar and Restaurant staff helpful and polite. Food (breakfast) was very good. Checkin was below the standard expected, as was the attitude of the duty manager when we made a complaint. We won’t be staying at the hotel again for this reason.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
From the moment we arrived we were very impressed with how the building has been restored, both outside and inside, retaining many original features. We were given a warm welcome by the staff who were happy to share their knowledge of the building. Our room had everything we needed and, considering the walls were stone, it was spotless. We enjoyed the Champagne Bar and The Chapel (for evening meal and breakfast), all of which were excellent. The later check out gave us time to explore the building. We look forward to a further stay in the future and would highly recommend.

Not cheap but superb value.

This hotel is not cheap, but it is excellent value for money. The level of comfort, service and the superb food make it an absolute delight to stay. It will rival many "luxury" London hotels.
