Jamaica Inn Jamaica Inn Jamaica Inn is a traditional inn on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, United Kingdom. Built as a coaching inn in 1750, and having an association with smuggling, it was the setting for Daphne du Maurier's 1936 novel "Jamaica Inn", which was made into the film "Jamaica Inn" in 1939 by Alfred Hitchcock. Located just off the A30, near the middle of the moor close to the hamlet of Bolventor, it was used as a staging post for changing horses. As well as the Hitchcock film, there has been a 1983 television series, "Jamaica Inn", starring Jane Seymour, and a
