What It’s Really Like Staying at Cornwall’s Most Famous Inn

We finally visited Jamaica Inn in Cornwall a place with centuries of history, smuggling stories, and a reputation that stretches far beyond Bodmin Moor. From its windswept setting to the stories that still linger inside its walls, this inn has seen more than most. Built in 1750 and made famous by tales of smugglers (and later by Daphne du Maurier’s novel), it’s one of those places that feels like it belongs to another time. But what’s it actually like to stay there today? In this video, we explore: • The history behind Jamaica Inn • The smuggling legends that made it famous • What the rooms are really like • And whether it lives up to its reputation If you enjoy discovering places with real stories behind them, Cornwall has plenty and this one might be the most atmospheric of them all.
