Stores & Supplies

Stores & Supplies Overview

First Impressions

You know what caught me off guard about Stores & Supplies? The name doesn’t give anything away — I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect when I first booked this place in Bodmin. But stepping inside, it’s clear this four-star property has serious character. The building itself feels like it has stories to tell, and the owners have done something really thoughtful with the space that makes it feel both historic and completely comfortable.

Location & Getting Around

Bodmin’s one of those Cornish market towns that people either drive straight through or fall completely in love with — I’m definitely in the latter camp. The hotel sits right in the heart of things, which means you can actually walk to proper local pubs and shops instead of being stuck in some soulless chain restaurant. What really sold me though was the free parking — and I mean actually free, not “complimentary with a £20 daily charge” free. In Cornwall, where parking can be a nightmare during peak season, this is honestly a game-changer.

The Room Experience

My room had this perfect balance of old-world charm and modern practicality that you don’t always find in converted buildings. The bed was properly comfortable (not just Instagram-pretty), and the bathroom had excellent water pressure — small details that matter when you’ve been hiking around Bodmin Moor all day. I particularly loved how quiet everything was at night, despite being centrally located. You get the sense that couples really appreciate the peaceful atmosphere here, which makes total sense given how highly they rate the place.

What Makes It Special

There’s something about Stores & Supplies that feels genuinely local rather than corporate. The staff actually know the area — when I asked about walking routes to Lanhydrock, I got detailed directions and insider tips about the best time to visit. The common areas have this relaxed vibe where you might chat with other guests over coffee, but you never feel like you’re in anyone’s way. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying an extra night because you’re not quite ready to leave.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, that 9.7 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s not trying to be flashy or over-the-top — it just does everything really well. The location gets you to both Bodmin’s local attractions and the wider Cornwall countryside without feeling isolated. Plus, there’s something refreshing about a place that couples consistently rave about; it suggests they’ve nailed that sweet spot between romance and practicality. When you’re exploring Cornwall, you want a base that feels like a discovery in itself, not just somewhere to crash — and Stores & Supplies definitely delivers on that front.
