We had a warm welcome with a room that was clean and comfortable, just right for a night or two. Breakfast was a simple, easy selection with very friendly staff to assist. Very easy check in and out. We would happily stay there again.

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.

Nice little pub

Very nice staff, unfortunately it was one of the most hottest nights of the year, no fan in the room and couldn’t sleep, not the hotels fault but a fan in the room would have been a help, but again nice pub and nice staff

Overall, the stay was good. Couldn’t fault the staff - welcoming, friendly and very helpful. The accommodation was very basic and tired. Needs an update. Again, the staff were lovely.
