About Jamaica Inn
Jamaica Inn pairs a hearty Cornish welcome with a restaurant and bar that anchor the evening after a day out on Bodmin Moor. Breakfast is served each morning, and the bar stocks drinks that can be taken up to your room, while a games room gives families something to do once dinner's done.
There are 20 rooms in total, each en suite, with family rooms and accessible rooms available for those who need them. Free WiFi runs throughout, and the garden and outdoor seating make the most of the moorland setting when the weather allows. Pets are welcome, and reception is staffed around the clock, so late arrivals off the moor aren't a problem.
The inn's history is tied up with smuggling tales and Cornish legend, and its position on Bodmin Moor puts walking country right on the doorstep, with fishing and watersports also available nearby. Free on-site parking is provided, useful given the rural approach roads.
