Jamaica Inn

The Jamaica Inn, which is open all year round, is found high up on the wild and beautiful Bodmin Moor. They offer dog friendly accommodation, dining options and a museum offering a great insight into British smuggling.

The Smuggling Museum houses one of the finest collections of smuggling artefacts in the country. Featuring 'The History of Jamaica Inn', an educational and historical film show, the Museum brings alive many of the myths and legends associated with Jamaica Inn and Cornwall, including tales of wreckers and smugglers over the past 300 years.

Smuggling evolved when customs dues were first introduced in the thirteenth century, but there was little effective enforcement. Polperro on the south coast and Boscastle, Trebarwith and Tintagel on the north coast were the most used landing coves for bringing ashore contraband. Talland and Lanreath were regularly used by Polperro smugglers to hide their cargo. Jamaica Inn, in its isolation, provided the ideal premises for storing this contraband on its way upcountry.

Dogs are not allowed in the Peddlers food bar/restaurant, but there are plenty of areas to dine with your pooch in the bar or outdoors.

The pub also holds regular ghost hunts. Not for the faint-hearted though as they have recently been awarded the Stamp of Approval from the British Paranormal Association for being a genuine haunted establishment! They also host Murder Mystery Nights.

It is very dog friendly and provides easy access to lots of great dog walks on Bodmin Moor. You can even pre-order a picnic to take with you.
