Great location, great staff and good breakfast. Room is basic and small but was clean and perfect for our one night stay

Does what it says on the tin. A no frills property but equally very comfortable, clean and helpful friendly staff. Despite the room being above a pub I was not disturbed by noise as I went to bed each night. Breakfast very good with a good selection.

Room was really hot. Shower was pathetic. Breakfast was non-existent not very good experience.

A lovely place to stay, the breakfast was very nice as well.

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.

Excellent food and lovely room

Clean room and friendly staff

Good friendly staff, clean room variety with continental breakfast

The heating was off when we returned from an evening out at 11pm and the room was very cold which made it difficult to sleep. The Wi-fi did not work in our room

A really friendly place to stay.

Nice welcome , enjoyed the stay

As it’s a pub I expected noise until midnight but it went on until gone 1 am, won’t stay again

Met by the very helpful landlord, Nigel. The Volunteer doesn’t pretend to be anything that it’s not. Very comfortable and efficient.

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.

The Riffle Volunteer, is a lovely old English Pub, The Manager, and The Staff, are Fantastic!! And went above and beyond. The Rooms are Clean, but basic and could do with a lick of paint to freshen their up. But apart from that it's a charming little tradition pub. The outside garden is lovely, and there is parking, but it's a small car park. But i loved it.

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.

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.

So essentially it is a few rooms above a pub, but it isn't awful, just not amazing and that is how I am basing this on (having stayed in hostels and five star I have to be honest about my review). The parking is fine, imagine you need to be in to ensure a space as quote small, we were there on a Saturday night where there seemed to be a party - sadly this meant check in was noisy and we couldn't hear much but the lady was really kind and nice so was impressed with her (and other staff friendly). Went up to room and one of the hottest days of the year and no fan which was far from ideal as needed windows open but the noise from the party was deafening with it open so really no choices on this front. Small bedroom but adequate however bathroom had nowhere to hang anything, no shelf for toiletries and shower tray didn't drain very quickly. The light from the streetlight directly outside shone through our window all night and the blind did little to stop it coming through the edges, maybe a curtain on top would help. The breakfast was actually fine, plenty to eat and drink but do not expect gourmet, however did a job as we were in a rush. Essentially the staff saved the day on this hotel as they are great but if I had to value what we paid over the worth it probably was a little further apart than I would like however we were tied with location and little choice in the town. If you want no frills and are happy to pay the prices quoted then this hotel will be grand for you.

Staff nice. Room poor and overall dated and in need of a full revamp.
