This is a great ride, had a lot of fun when I did it late last year. MTB is more suitable than CX, generally; most of the guys on skinnier tyres had at least one puncture.
We stayed in the bunkhouse, it's quite good, clean and fairly modern, the showers are decent... There's even a bike wash area although it probably won't be very muddy when you're doing it!

And the pub down the road is ideal for food etc.
