Excellent stay, I had a compact but functional ensuite single room. The continental style breakfast was very good with lots of variety. If I'm in the area again I will definitely stay again.

Not happy!

Dirty cobwebs in the shower space, mouldy paintwork, dirty sink plug. No curtain in the bathroom which faced the beer garden! Bedside lamp and only socket in the room was near the foot of the bed. Car park motion light was above the external door which was next to the back door to the pub! I did a video but couldn't upload on here. The staff were great but the venue itself wasn't good at all.

Kevin & Friends Fishing trip

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

Nightmare

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!

b&B at Rifle Volunteer

The room was pretty basic. The bathroom had no heating and was freezing although when we asked for an extra heater the hotel were very helpful and gave us one immediately. But there was no towel rail in the bathroom and no hand towel to dry your hands even if they’d put a couple of hooks on the back of the door it would have helped and it would have been somewhere to hang your clothes and bath towels. There was only one lot of soap none in the shower and this was left on the hand basin in the ugly cheap looking container it was bought in. I was so cold in the night I had to sleep in my jumper. The breakfast was only just adequate with only instant coffee and not full English. I don’t think it would take much to upgrade your experience just a bit more TLC and attention to detail and more quality products in the room and at breakfast. We were certainly glad we were only there for one night.

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.

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.
