The Bodmin Jail Hotel in Cornwall is offering guests the chance to enjoy immersive luxury while appreciating its rich history, including a past of executions. Names of prisoners are present in each room, including a brief summary of their crime and prosecution.
The hotel offers guests an October half-term escape into atmospheric history. Housed within a restored Georgian prison dating back to 1779, the luxury hotel offers guests the opportunity to sleep within original granite prison cells that have been transformed into boutique rooms and suites.
Far from chilling, the atmosphere visitors feel embodies the stories of the past as they experience immersive luxury. At the heart of the experience is the hotel’s restaurant, set within the former Chapel, where guests can enjoy seasonal menus showcasing locally sourced Cornish produce beneath high ceilings and historic stone walls.
The hotel regularly attracts high-profile visitors, including fitness personality Joe Wicks and stage and screen star Brian Conley, and serves as the base for exploring Cornwall’s coastline and countryside. Nearby attractions include Bodmin Moor, Restormel Castle, Padstow Harbour, Tintagel Castle, Charlestown Harbour and the Eden Project.
Jackie Kelly, Bodmin Jail Hotel said, “For older children looking for something more than a pumpkin patch and Halloween trail, our hotel allows guests to completely immerse themselves in an atmospheric getaway like no other. From our luxury boutique rooms filled with atmosphere to the finest locally sourced dining to nearby Cornwall attractions, we are the perfect destination for a last minute half term staycation. This is not just a place to sleep; it is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime architectural marvel that belongs on every traveller’s bucket list.”
