Description
Jamaica Inn, originally a public house and now an inn, is a Grade II listed building in Cornwall. Located just off the A30, near the middle of Bodmin Moor,it was built as a coaching house in 1750 as a staging post for changing horses during stagecoach runs over the moor.
Immortalised in Daphne du Maurier's eponymous tale of smugglers, rogues and pirates, this historic coaching house has welcomed travellers crossing Bodmin Moor for nearly 300 years. Full of legend, mystery, romance and even, according to folklore, the odd friendly spirit, Jamaica Inn is set in one of the most evocative moorland locations in Britain.
The Inn is more than just a stop-off for weary travellers, it is also home to an award-winning restaurant and hotel, great ales in its ‘olde worlde’ bars, souvenir shop and the fascinating Smugglers’ Museum where tales of wreckers, murderers and villains are brought wonderfully to life!
