Had a lovely relaxing stay. Staff / management were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Atmosphere in bar was great with plenty of friendly locals. Room was clean and comfortable and breakfast more than sufficient with a wide range of cereals, juice, cheese and meats along with toast, crumpets and croissants. With off street parking and a large outdoor seating area. Great value too. We will definitely be back

Warm friendly staff but if looking for comfort and more than one night stay then not really the place for you Met my needs for a short stay with no frills and if that’s what’s needed then not a bad choice Breakfast basic and again no frills

So essentially it is a few rooms above a pub, but it isn't awful, just not amazing and that is how I am basing this on (having stayed in hostels and five star I have to be honest about my review). The parking is fine, imagine you need to be in to ensure a space as quote small, we were there on a Saturday night where there seemed to be a party - sadly this meant check in was noisy and we couldn't hear much but the lady was really kind and nice so was impressed with her (and other staff friendly). Went up to room and one of the hottest days of the year and no fan which was far from ideal as needed windows open but the noise from the party was deafening with it open so really no choices on this front. Small bedroom but adequate however bathroom had nowhere to hang anything, no shelf for toiletries and shower tray didn't drain very quickly. The light from the streetlight directly outside shone through our window all night and the blind did little to stop it coming through the edges, maybe a curtain on top would help. The breakfast was actually fine, plenty to eat and drink but do not expect gourmet, however did a job as we were in a rush. Essentially the staff saved the day on this hotel as they are great but if I had to value what we paid over the worth it probably was a little further apart than I would like however we were tied with location and little choice in the town. If you want no frills and are happy to pay the prices quoted then this hotel will be grand for you.

This is a local no-frills pub with a few rooms for accommodation. It was ideal for our overnight stay. We had a few drinks in the bar, had a brilliant spicy pizza ( cooked to perfection) and enjoyed a pleasant conversation with a local worker. Breakfast was plentiful with food to suit all tastes. The bed was very comfortable and all programmes on the tv were accessible through TNT.

This was the perfect place for me to stay while visiting family near by, Nigel and everyone at the Rifle were welcoming and helpful. If you’re looking for a clean, affordable “room at the inn” this comes highly recommended.

Sorry to say it was awful! Toilet didn’t flush. Had a karaoke event right under our room extremely loud. We could feel the vibration on the floor and on the walls and even on the toilet!! We were not told before we booked about it or we would not have booked!

First stay here, pub has great choice of beers, room was small but clean, en suite was fine. Some of the other bedrooms were bigger than ours so will try and select them on our next stay. Excellent value for money and we would stay here again

Great locals pub / B&B with helpful, friendly staff and welcoming locals. Rooms were basic but clean, comfortable and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was more than adequate with a good choice available. Parking on site also available. We will definitely use again.

Cheap and cheerful accommodation, good welcome, excellent buffet breakfast and special diet well catered for but annex room fronted on to a busy, noisy main road. Only 10 minute walk from pub car park into town centre with good choice of evening eateries. Overall adequate for cost and would return again if in the area.

Very basic facilities in room that needed modernising. Only one plug socket working. Water in the toilet constantly running throughout the night and window difficult to open. Breakfast was very much help yourself, even cooking your own poached eggs which we weren’t expecting! Staff were friendly and location good for our needs.
