Jamaica Inn 250 year old coaching inn, made famous by Daphne du Maurier in her classic novel 'Jamaica Inn'.

Jamaica Inn, Cornwall's legendary coaching house, immortalised in Daphne du Maurier's novel of the same name, has stood high on Bodmin Moor for over four centuries. We're still referred to by historians as Cornwall's most famous smuggling inn. These days we do welcome the more salubrious guest ... and the odd ghost! Jamaica Inn was built in 1750 as a coaching inn for travellers making the journey between Launceston and Bodmin. Remote and isolated, it quickly became the ideal place to stop for smugglers transporting illegal goods into Devon and onwards. Jamaica Inn now is home to one of the finest and most extensive collections of smuggling artifacts in the UK at our Smugglers museum. In 1930, Jamaica Inn was visited by author Daphne du Maurier, who was inspired to write her most famous novel by the atmosphere and history of the inn. Fans of the novel now travel from all over the world to visit the Inn and our fantastic Daphne du Maurier museum. With all of this history, it comes as no surprise that Jamaica Inn is considered one of the most haunted buildings in Cornwall. In fact, when TV show Most Haunted featured Jamaica Inn, they said that it was one of the spookiest programmes that they have ever recorded. Guests have reported seeing and hearing things which cannot be explained, and now many stay with us with the hope of seeing something for themselves! Spend the night in one of our famous haunted hotel rooms, enjoy our superb food for lunch or simply stop for a real ale with your dog by our open fire!

👀 A LITTLE EXTRA TREASURE IS COMING 👀

We’ve been keeping a little treasure under wraps… but we thought it was time to give you a sneak peek. 🪙🏴‍☠️

Coming soon to Jamaica Inn… sharing desserts with a difference.

Served straight from our very own smuggler’s chest, packed with delicious sweet treats made for sharing — although we won’t judge if you keep the treasure all to yourself! 😉🍰

Because here at Jamaica Inn, we like our desserts a little extra. 🍰✨

Gather your crew, unlock the chest and dig in!

And for those eagle-eyed treasure hunters… 👀
The Jamaica Inn goodies pictured are also available to buy from our Jamaica Inn Farm & Gift Shop, Bodmin Moor, including our Jamaica Inn Spiced Rum, Jamaica Inn L***r and Jamaica Inn Chocolate — perfect little pieces of Jamaica Inn to take home with you. 🏴‍☠️🥃🍺🍫

Who would you share your treasure chest with? 👇
