A place where the past meets great hospitality

Jamaica Inn, Bolventor, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, PL15 7TS

Sitting bravely on Bodmin Moor, the iconic Jamaica Inn still exudes its legendary charm. This Grade II‑listed coaching inn, dating from the 1750s, warmly welcomes wanderers with its low oak beams, crackling fires and a hint of peat smoke. In the atmospheric Smuggler’s Bar, you can almost sense the ghosts of old salt smugglers trading takes over a wee dram or two. Up a creaky staircase lies the smuggling museum and the atmospheric rooms, each furnished with a romantic nod to its storied past and today’s comforts. It remains a theatrical portal to Cornwall’s smuggling past, blending rustic hospitality with a delicious hint of mystery and good wholesome food.

It’s Unique, Here's Our Story

the coaching inn group

Founded in 1996 by Kevin Charity, the Coaching Inn Group began as a family-run business with a big ambition to breathe new life into Britain’s historic inns and hotels.

From its roots in Boston, Lincolnshire, the Group now operates 35 unique properties across the UK. Each one is carefully restored to celebrate its heritage, think oak beams, sash windows, and centuries-old charm, while offering all the modern comforts today’s travellers expect.

At the heart of it all is our belief in “Hospitality from the Heart.” That means caring for our teams like family, working closely with local communities, and making every guest feel truly welcome.

Along the way we’ve picked up some wonderful recognition, named a Which? Recommended Provider for Small Hotel Chains 2024/25, and listed as a Top UK Employer.

We’d love to welcome you to a stay that blends history, warmth and genuine care every time.

From Boston
with love, Adam Charity

Since 1996, we’ve brought together a collection of charming inns and hotels in some of the UK’s best-loved spots, from cosy villages to lively market towns and beautiful national parks. Our mission is simple: to keep the magic alive, support our amazing teams, and look after these special places for future generations.
