We visited today and took the guided tour. Josh, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and handled questions brilliantly. He certainly made our visit special. My Dad has limited mobility and uses a scooter. The attraction was accessible throughout with lifts and ramps where needed. The attraction itself was well created with good use of modern technology as well as more traditional interpretation. Really impressed.
Wow, what an experience!nI went in with no expectations, but it was such a pleasant surprise. The 4D and interactive stories really bring the history to life. It's not scary at all, no jump scares even though it's dark. Definitely not for little kids, though. Jasmin was fantastic at telling the stories and making us feel like we were back in time. I'd totally recommend checking it out, it's so unique!
Absolutely fantastic! Our guide Josh was informative, funny and friendly. Myself and my partner were highly impressed with the knowledge Josh shared about this fascinating place and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Bodmin jail was fantastic and we 100% recommended a guided tour instead of walking through yourself. Other staff were also super friendly and welcoming. All together, we already want to comeback and try the ghost tours and the hotel! Thank you Josh and the Bodmin jail team!
We had an absolutely fantastic visit to Bodmin Jail. From the moment we walked in, it was clear just how beautifully the building has been restored. The balance between preserving its incredible history and creating an immersive 4D experience has been done perfectly. The atmosphere is authentic — you really get a sense of the past, especially with the select inmates stories.nnWhat truly made the experience exceptional was our guide. He was witty, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging from start to finish. His storytelling brought the jail’s history to life in such a vivid and entertaining way. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that enthusiasm made a huge difference. He brought the whole Jail’s past to life.nnI was especially impressed that my 10- and 13-year-old sons loved it just as much as we did! It can sometimes be tricky to keep kids that age interested, but they were completely absorbed. The interactive elements and gripping stories kept them engaged the entire time — they’re still talking about it now.nnIf you’re visiting Cornwall, I would highly recommend a trip to Bodmin Jail, especially now Flambard’s is sadly gone. It’s fascinating, beautifully restored, and suitable for the whole family. We’ll definitely be recommending it to friends!
Did the guided tour as this was the first time attending the place, the tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly happy to answer any questions fielded his way, the place itself was very interesting and steeped in history. For those looking for a 'scary' experience this thankfully isn't it as that's not my cup of tea but apparently it's a local hotspot for ghost activity. There's a cafe located here as well if you need a drink before/after, finding parking however was somewhat confusing, ended up in the hotel car park which is only for guests so ended up opting for on-street parking instead.
