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.

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.

I stayed here for one night.It was okay the toilets was old had to flush,the breakfast was good the room was warm. And the place was in pub, it was okay for me because my Brother lived about 1/2 mile away. They need more stuff so you can your clothes to hanger. I had problems with the wi-fi.A part from that I may come back because it was cheap.

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.

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.

Avoid at all costs

Noisy, smelling pillows, on first impression seemed ok, but lots of let downs, very small double bed, small shower, nothing finished off, mouldy windows, dirty too.I could go with a massive list. Breakfast was diabolical, infact health inspector's need to visit, and would shut it down I am 100% sure, Not giving you the problems, its basic good practices. Would not recommend

It was comfortable although the room was very compact. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a small car park but it was full on the first night. On street parking is quite limited. It is only a 10 minute walk to Ware centre which has nice restaurants and a river. Breakfast was serve yourself continental which included a microwave with eggs and baked beans. I would be happy to stay here again

As adverttised

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.
