Bunkhouse sleeps 16 in the converted stable area of a wonderful Georgian house on the edge of Crosby. Ideal place for groups doing the ride. Joanne & Mark also own the Stag Inn, just down the road, where there's all day food and gastro-style cooking (at pub prices) in the evening. Self-catering is also an option. Secure cycle lock-up. Great welcome and terrific value for money.

Open all day, every day. Normal pub grub during the day before morphing into a gastropub of an evening. Wide and eclectic range - mezzes and other Med cuisine, North African tagines, spicy prawns cooked Indian style - the range is imressive, the portions generous and the prices more in tune with pubs than astro-gastro. Not far to totter if you're overnighting at the Bluebell Bunkhouse!
