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 they 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 their 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 their 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 them with the hope of seeing something for themselves!
Spend the night in one of their famous haunted hotel rooms, enjoy their superb food for lunch or simply stop for a real ale with your dog by their open fire!
