This barn-style building in The Rancliffe Arms car park has a false dovecote on its western elevation, facing the A60 Loughborough-Nottingham road. Nowadays the structure is used as a storage area by the pub tenant.

Main Street on the left, off the A60 (Nottingham-Loughborough Road) in the foreground. The Church of St Mary the Virgin, sometimes referred to as "The Cathedral of the Wolds" can be seen from most parts of the village.

A view along the A60 (a.k.a. Loughborough Road) towards Nottingham. The Grade II-listed Rancliffe Arms may have been further developed at the behest of a former owner of Bunny Hall, Sir Thomas Parkyns (1663-1741), since there is some evidence that there was already an inn on this site before Sir Thomas’ time, and prior to the building of his home, Bunny Hall. In 1844 this coaching inn was authorised as the village’s first official Receiving House, or Post Office, four years after the first postage stamps were issued. It seems that William Walker was appointed Receiver on a salary of £4 per annum, and that following his death in 1852, his widow Ann became Receiver for the next three days, until her appointment was cancelled. A certain William Henson then became the new Receiver on 13 October 1852 - at a reduced salary of £3 per annum - and he and served until he resigned in March 1854. The receivership then passed to a William Hart until 1855, when Ann Walker took over the role once again. It is seems that that she may have continued in this capacity until 1861, after which the office at The Rancliffe Arms was closed.

The Rancliffe Arms is a 16th century coaching inn on Loughborough Road in this curiously-named village.

A Scania L94UB/Wright Solar of KinchBus (new to sister company TrentBarton) heads through Bunny on its way from Nottingham to Loughborough on route 9, which provides a direct service via the A60.

Apparently more of a restaurant than a pub nowadays, on the A60 Loughborough Road.
