Originally a coaching inn since 1608 the present hotel building dates from the 1820s. In the 1890s it fell into decline and was variously used as a boarding house, a private dwelling, a factory for making bicycles and, on the top floor, a residence for chickens! In 1987 extensive development works were undertaken and ten years later 22 additional bedrooms were incorporated in the adjoining Mill House on the banks of the River Bush. Further development took place in 2009. https://www.bushmillsinn.com/about-us/heritage On the wall is a plaque Image from the Cyclists Touring Club.
