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.

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

Very decent overnight stay - Recommended

The room was fairly small, and quite basic, but the price was also very reasonable considering breakfast is included. Everything was clean, and everything worked, so as purely an overnight stay on a budget it's pretty much ideal. Not noisy, even though it's over a pub. TV good, shower works fine, comfortable bed, and the breakfast in the morning was also very good. They don't do a full English (fair enough at this cost), but have hot eggs and a very good spread on the continental side. Recommended.

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.

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

Friendly pub

Friendly and helpful staff and owners. Great communication prior to arrival as our flight was delayed. Very nice pizza - friendly atmosphere. Help with baggage much appreciated- great location for Hertfordshire zoo.

8/10 Very good

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 comfortable. Would stay here again.

Clean, friendly 2 night stay with good breakfast options (tea, instant coffee, cereals, yogurts, fruit, poached eggs, cheeses, deli meats, breads, croissants & crumpets). Room was spotless. Bed comfy. Shower good. Free offroad car park. No real ale but good locals pub up the road was recommended by Nigel the owner of the Rifle Volunteer.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

4/10 Fair

Traditional pub, was great for a drink, relaxed atmosphere. The room we stayed in was very simple, basic and small. Individual room with toilet, very dated and run down with just a tiny sink, no other furnishings. Tins of cleaning products and fly spray on the windowsill. An overall stale smell in the room to mask an unclean smell and smell of cigarette smoke. Separate shower room with no window. Very dark and dinghy. Needs a full modernisation and renovation.

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.
