Product Description

The Bodmin Jail Hotel is a truly unique destination, offering a remarkable blend of historic character and contemporary four-star comfort. Set within the walls of a restored 18th-century prison, this one-of-a-kind hotel retains its original granite architecture while providing guests with an exceptional modern experience. Originally built in 1779, the jail was an early example of prison reform, and its rich past has been carefully preserved throughout the £50 million transformation into the stylish hotel you see today.

Accessibility is a key consideration at the Bodmin Jail Hotel, with dedicated accessible rooms designed to offer both comfort and independence. These rooms feature spacious layouts for wheelchair users, roll-in showers, lowered fixtures, and emergency alarm cords located conveniently by the bed and within the bathroom. Guests can also enjoy luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding, eco-conscious toiletries, and a relaxing lounge area within the room. While many parts of the hotel are wheelchair accessible, some areas—such as the Chapel Restaurant—require stair access, although a manual stair lift is available with staff assistance. For the best experience, it is recommended that guests contact the hotel in advance to discuss individual accessibility requirements.

Located in the heart of Bodmin, the hotel offers easy access to a variety of nearby accessible attractions. The Bodmin Jail Attraction, located adjacent to the hotel, provides an immersive and wheelchair-friendly look into the site’s fascinating history. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Camel Trail—a scenic, largely flat pathway ideal for wheelchair users and mobility scooters, winding through the Cornish countryside. Visitors can also explore Bodmin Town Museum, which offers an accessible look into the region’s local heritage and is just a short distance from the hotel.

Whether you’re drawn by the intriguing history, the atmospheric setting, or the thoughtful accessible features, the Bodmin Jail Hotel offers a truly memorable stay for all guests. With its commitment to preserving the past while welcoming everyone in the present, this hotel is a standout choice for accessible luxury in Cornwall.
