The jail has been beautifully restored. The lighting looks incredible but it makes the room quite dark if you actually want to get ready. My biggest bug bearer is that there was no socket near a mirror with a shelf to get ready or do you hair. The staff were nice but all undertrained if any training at all.

Our stay was a special treat to end a holiday we were already on in Cornwall for the week ending 22/09/24 Everything was lovely & the hotel was interesting considering it was a prison!! All staff were helpful, polite & understanding, plus hard working considering they were under staffed in the restaurant, This I totally understand as I am also in the catering industry working as a Head Chef for gastro pub . The only problem which could have been a problem was I wasn’t asked if I had allergies when we ordered in the restaurant on the evening dinner ( of which I have !!) I did tell the waitress at the time . I was asked in the morning. Also I was surprised there wasn’t any beer choice on the evening only cider of which I’m not a fan of ? Considering you had a fairly full hotel I thought this could have been sorted , as for the value of cost per night I’d expect this . Plus the parking was an issue as we had to park on the bank drive & unable to park in the car park, we were told the extended car park was closed for work ? Other than that we had a lovely stay Thank you

Absolutely WOW. What an amazing place. Room was very comfortable and whole place was very quiet. Lots to look at within the building. Food was great and staff were also very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be going back if we are in that area. The museum next door was amazing too, well worth a visit.

Fabulous place to stay!
A very interesting, clean, friendly stay. The detail kept from the original prison is fabulous! The prison tour was great and finished of our stay perfectly! Breakfast was excellent. Surprisingly peaceful and quiet, maybe due to the super thick walls! Highly recommend a visit.

Hotel beautiful and room top class very clean amazing slept very well. One restaurant to choose from with only selection of a la carte which is a very old fashioned way to eat , which makes us uncomfortable. We had room service which was lovely but we would have preferred to eat in a restaurant/pub which we thought there was and is still advertised on google. Also cafe is advertised until 9pm but actually closes at 4.30pm.

The accommodation was immaculately clean. Checkin was smooth and friendly, the concierge who took our bags to our room was knowledgeable and helpful. We were in two minds about eating in the restaurant but were very pleased we did the food was delicious don’t be put off by other negative reviews. All in all we had a great room and lovely food with impeccable service. They are all really pleasant and helpful. We did the tour and that was fun too. We will not hesitate to stay again.

A unique stay
Absolutely amazing place. A very unique experience for sure. We had a couples night and weren’t disappointed. What a conversion. Food was great! I would absolutely recommend and return however was very miffed at being charged a £9 service charge for being brought an iron to use! Second minor jiggle was having no mirror by the dressing table.
