Our visit to Bodmin Jail was absolutely unforgettable. It was a perfect blend of history, innovation, and atmosphere. It’s amazing to see how this historic site has been transformed thanks to the hotel chain’s £65 million regeneration project. The attention to detail is remarkable. You can now stay in the hotel and sleep in original cells.. I didn't experience this. The highlight for us was the 4D experience, which brought the stories of the prisoners and the history of the jail to life in such a powerful and engaging way. It was dramatic, emotional, and well produced. You could feel the history all around you, yet it was presented with modern creativity and flair. A special mention has to go to Jasmin, our tour guide, who was absolutely fabulous. Her storytelling was captivating from start to finish. She was knowledgeable, passionate, and full of energy. She made the whole experience come alive with humour, sensitivity, and fascinating insights. She spoke for nearly 2 hours. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just looking for a unique day out, Bodmin Jail is a must-visit. It’s a shining example of how heritage can be preserved and reimagined. I highly recommend the guided tour.

Bodmin Jail is a brilliant attraction – really well presented, atmospheric, and full of history. The courtyard is lovely for a drink afterwards too. The only let-down was the final attraction: it’s built up as if you’ll see a hanging, but in reality it’s just a tiny platform drop and nothing much else, which felt a bit flat after all the build-up. Aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend a visit.

Bodmin jail is a really good experience. Me and my partner spent the morning here and had a great time. The dark walk is very atmospheric and brings the history and the stories of the jail to life. The rest of the jail, which is a very well put together museum, is an interesting and insightful journey into the history of Bodmin Jail and the part it played in Cornish history. I highly recommend this attraction. Me and my partner were both blown away by how good it was. And it's suitable for the entire family.
