The Bodmin Jail Hotel is a truly distinctive four star hotel in Cornwall, offering an unforgettable stay within a dramatically restored 18th century prison. Following a £50 million transformation, the historic granite structure has been reimagined into a contemporary luxury hotel while retaining its powerful sense of heritage and atmosphere.
Dedicated accessible rooms have been thoughtfully designed to support wheelchair users and guests with limited mobility. These rooms provide generous space, a comfortable sleeping area with Egyptian cotton bedding, and a modern ensuite bathroom featuring a roll in step free shower, lowered fixtures, supportive handrails, and emergency alarm cords beside the bed and within the bathroom. Each accessible room is finished to the same high standard as the rest of the hotel, combining comfort with character.
Many areas of the hotel are wheelchair friendly, with step free access, lift access between floors, and staff support available when required. Some historic areas, including the Chapel Restaurant, require stair access. Guests are encouraged to contact the hotel ahead of arrival to discuss individual access requirements and ensure the most suitable room allocation.
The hotel’s location makes it ideal for exploring accessible attractions nearby. The Bodmin Jail Attraction next door is fully wheelchair friendly, while the Camel Trail offers miles of largely level routes through beautiful Cornish countryside, suitable for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. With onsite dining, a spa, gym, and peaceful surroundings, the Bodmin Jail Hotel offers a rare blend of history, comfort, and thoughtful accessibility.
