An exceptional experience from the professional staff to the superb dining and immersive jail tour.

Pros: The hotel itself is a remarkable building. Excellent meal in The Chapel restaurant, breakfast superb. Bodmin Jail Experience exceeded our expectations. All staff were professional and approachable. Will definitely be back.

The whole experience was remarkable as well as the tour.

Pros: The whole building had been converted to a high standard. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The tour cost was reduced from £25pp to £14pp because we stayed at the venue. It too was a remarkable show.

Cons: One small detail. There was no welcome pack in the room. We asked if there was one but never had one delivered. We looked online to find some info.

Pros: Perfect location for exploring town. Room was luxurious and love the touch of milk for tea and coffee in a glass bottle in the fridge. Had lunch in the restaurant from the a la carte menu and my husband and I both said it was best we had eaten in a restaurant in quite a while and service was exceptional.The Cornish cheese board was VERY tasty!! Staff were very helpful and friendly. And love the history of the Jail.

Cons: Would have liked better lighting in the bathroom for applying make-up.
