News & Offers from Cornmill Bunkhouse

There are many different options for LEJOG using the National Cycle Network.

May 1st 2020

Passing the Cornmill Bunkhouse, where you can be sure of a welcome and a good nights rest, has got to be one of the best.

There is no official Sustrans route for LEJOG: Lands End to John o’Groats.  However using the National Cycle Network to cycle End to End passing Cornmill Bunkhouse is a good option.

The Corn mill Bunkhouse in run by a Crofter who converted a fine corn mill into a hostel that can accommodate up to 16 people. The upper floor is where the kitchen lounge and dining area is.  One of our readers described the kitchen as the best she has seen. The building retains many features of the original Corn Mill.  It is only four miles off the North Coast 500 route and is well worth the detour.  If you are cycling Lands End to John O Groats you can go right past the door, although we would advise calling in for the night.
