"Jamaica Inn is an old coach house high upon Bodmin Moor and is the perfect place to stop off for a drink or a bite to eat on the way into or on the way out of Cornwall.
With its great history relating to Daphne du Maurier's novels the coach house attracts many visitors and travelers.
Many come to the coach house to see the museum based on Daphne du Marurier but I tend to go up there because of the perfect views over Bodmin Moor. Nearby there is a short walk that takes you to Dozmery Pool which is supposed to be linked with King Arthur and the lady of the lake – and the panoramic views are spectacular.
The coach house offers bed and breakfast, has a restaurant and an excellent bar menu all of which is home cooked food. There is a very cozy lounge bar which in the winter is warmed with a comforting log fire.
I would recommend Jamaica Inn to anyone visiting the county if they wish to explore any of the moor areas or take in some history.
The Inn can be found just off the A30 at Bolventor, midway between Launceston and Bodmin in Cornwall, Jamaica Inn is conveniently situated and easily accessible from the M5, Devon and Plymouth. Telephone number: - 01566 86250"

Booked a double room wiht four poster for a romantic treat for my partners 50th birthday. What disappointment, service from staff was appalling, food resembled 1980's motorway services, no effort made to make stay special not just memorable and a bad memory too.
Staff clearly had not been trained in customer service or how to present food ( and not leave it uncovered).or maybe you had to fit a certain profile to be treated like you matter.
If you want somewhere special you maybe better off at a Premier Inn, at least they make an effort.
Jamaica Inn you need to stop trading off the history of the place and move into the 21st century.
I wonder what overseas visitors make of it all.
