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.

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.

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.

Pretty good place to stay
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.

Nice accommodation option very close to Ware town
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

Our stay at the Rifle Volunteer was lovely. The room was clean and warm and everything was to the highest standard for a building of its age. The staff were friendly helpful and accommodating and they also gave us advice on getting about the areaThe breakfast was continental, although there were some hot alternatives that you could help yourself to, so it was more than enough to satisfy any pallet. I would recommend this hotel if you are staying in Ware or visiting the surrounding area.

Very nice place, clean and staff were very nice. To top it up they provided a brilliant breakfast. The only down fall is the flight of steps that I had to climb as I have a doggy painful knee already. Overall very nice comfortable place.

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.

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.

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.

It was the cheapest B&B that I could find in the area but I wasn't disappointed. There were no major issues and I was provided with erything advertised. Also nice to have a pub downstairs for those that want it. The breakfast was basic but there were a few cafes within a 5 minute walking distance.

This is not a boutique hotel, if your ok with that mindset the reviews should read as an ok establishment. Very nice people run the pub and rooms. It has everything that I required for a single night. The room is dated, but completely functional, clean etc.it is not a room to get excited about but it works, it's functional. I will stay again, this being my first visit.
