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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Good place to stay. It’s not luxury but it’s sweet, homey, and comfortable. The beds were very soft. Very friendly staff. Pretty good self serve continental breakfast. You have your own (hotel room shared) entrance to the rooms after hours. The pub closed earlier than the hours say online on the Sunday which was a shame since we were looking forward to some pizza but no big deal! Convenient walk into town which took about 8 mins to walk. Overall it was a very convenient, decent place to stay.

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.

One night stay. Nice room with separate entrance from main pub building. Comfortable bed. Good shower. Room is very close to the road and because the windows are old wooden ones which don't fit too well there is quite a bit of traffic noise. Didn't particularly bother me though.
Would stay again.
