Better then expected. The hotel was a luxury stay, refurbished perfectly keeping some of the original features of the jail. I liked the terminology used by staff, such as asking for inmate details when checking in and saying we were free to leave on check out. Bath was a treat and complimentary mini bar was very generous. If you like character hotels, then this is one of the best.

A brilliantly quirky hotel that has been sympathetically restored to a high standard. A great to place to spend a day or two. Staff are very friendly and helpful - good choice at breakfast - we had an evening meal in the restaurant that we felt was over priced for the quality. A great weekend staying somewhere a bit different

This is a beautiful hotel. The room was stunning and super luxurious. The staff were super friendly and helpful and gave us a tour of the jails in the dungeons too. Breakfast was refreshing with none of that help yourself dried scrambled egg but freshly made beautiful food.

What an amazing hotel!! We spent 2 nights here with our young children… they absolutely loved it… Room was surprisingly spacious, bed really comfortable.. but the best part was the bathroom….. free standing bath and a large shower…… The design of these rooms is excellent. Everything was immaculate. Staff were very friendly and welcoming when you enter the hotel Breakfast was lovely… with good quality produce, again.. staff very accommodating. We also visited the Bodmin Jail museum… also excellent, and you get a discount if staying at the hotel…. All in all a very pleasant experience, highly recommended and we will definitely be returning.

6/10 Good

It was a novel experience to stay in a converted jail. The breakfast was great and the service was overall very good. As a practical stay with two young kids I found the rooms to be on the small side (perhaps expected for a converted jail) and not so comfortable as a place to just unwind after a day of sightseeing. I would perhaps recommend it for a one night stay, just to try it out, but not for longer.

Fabulous hotel, looks brand new. Cells, sorry rooms were excellent, bathroom was superb with the stand alone bath was the highlight for my wife, bubbles provided also. Bar & food in restaurant were superb. Staff very helpful and always there to help. Boom this hotel and you won’t be disappointed.

As it was once a jail, the walls are thick and built under interesting (challenging) circumstances, which you can learn about. It feels like you are inside a sturdy fortress. The rooms are very well appointed and the bathroom is a highlight, with a waterfall shower and a fabulous bathtub placed on the tiles at the other end of a full length wall mirror. Lux. Staff were friendly and reserved, very easy to deal with. The restaurant/breakfast room is an old chapel. It’s impressive. Had a lovely quiet stay here, thick walls and the small windows of the cell.
