4- and 5-star hotels in Bodmin
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels around Bodmin, from town-centre addresses to converted barns, a golf club and country houses. It is for travellers who want a base for Bodmin Moor, the Camel Trail, Lanhydrock and the wider Cornwall coast.
Staying in Bodmin
Bodmin sits on the edge of Bodmin Moor and is known for its historic jail, now a hotel, the Bodmin & Wenford Railway and its position as a gateway to the Camel Trail. The town centre is compact and walkable, with shops, restaurants and public transport, while the surrounding parishes of St. Breward, St. Mabyn, St. Kew, Warleggan, Luxulyan, Lostwithiel and Trebetherick hold the rural properties on this shortlist. Distances from the centre range from 1.1 km to 15.2 km, so some hotels suit exploring on foot and others are made for arriving by car.
Couples and short-break visitors often prefer the closer properties, such as Tredethy House at 1.1 km, Hoburne at 2.8 km, Bodmin Jail Hotel at 3.3 km and The Coach House 24439 at 4.1 km. Families have more room in the self-catering barns and houses with kitchens, cots and gardens, while St Moritz Hotel and Lanhydrock Hotel & Golf Club add pools, fitness centres and restaurants for longer stays. Business travellers are best served by hotels with 24-hour front desks and air conditioning, and those touring by car will find free parking almost everywhere.
