We needed an overnight stay. The Oddfellows is in poor shape. Room was adequate and reflected what we paid. Bathrooms at either end of corridor, toilet roll taken by other guests as soon as replaced by owner. Bed was comfortable and overall our stay was good. We wish the owner luck with his future plans.

The accommodation was basic However the service provided by Peter was outstanding. and the breakfast was excellent. there was a huge choice including Oat milk and you could eat as much or as little as you liked. Peter was a perfect host and a mine of information. He was most helpful. I would definitely recomment the Oddfellows Arms and would stay there again.

Reasonably priced but in need of an update

The owner/managerbwas super friendly ane chatty and very helpful with reccomendations for food places and getting around. However: Its in a very busy, loud pub, that has karaoke nights on a Saturday night (bring headphones) The places is is dyer need of an upgrade. Decour is peeling, damp in places and toilet room smelled strongly of urine! Was in a bunk room and fellow travellers had no respect for others (loud, turning lights on, swearing etc). Due to the heatwave (and the previously mentioned other guests) it was unbearable and didn't sleep a wink! Fans in the room would have been beneficial. That being said....beds were super comfy, reasonably priced and located very close to the M60!

Oddfellows lives up to its name 100% Exteriorly the building scares you; peeling paintwork, broken wooden fences, dropping facias, even a broken half hanging To Let sign as cherry on top! But once you meet the proprietor, and gets inside, I was enlightened! In brief, I can say many hotels, even 6 * hotels in South East Asia, I've stayed in, I've sworn under my breath that the rooms were designed more for aesthetics then for living in; one pet hate of mine especially Travelodge is NO power socket plugs by bedside; how to chat on phone whilst in bed? They expect you to get out of bed, trot over to other side of room to plug your phone in, get back into bed, then Tttrrriiinng, a new message notification comes in! It's annoying! But in Oddfellows, the room is obviously less luxurious as it's a hostel BUT it's damn practical, there's a barrel of power sockets beneath the bedside cabinet, a practical bedside lamp that has a simple switch, a nice size wardrobe with LOTs of hangers not FIVE like most boutique hotels, a tiny cute fridge, a quick dispenser kettle not typical hotel kettles with cords that's always not long enough to reach the limited power plugs and a washbasin with soap dispenser and towels, great bed with clean sheets etc Out my room, round the corner, 5 metres walk is the absolutely clean large shower and toilet you can swing several cats around, no probs. Breakfast is unique too, you cook it! Overall; thumbs up 👍 have booked another stay for later this month

Reasonable stay for a quick overnight work stopover, the bed was quite low compared with what I'm used to but wasn’t uncomfortable... En-suite is a hand basin only main bathroom's and toilets at each end of accommodation block. Owner (Peter) is attentive and welcoming. Coded doors give a reassuring secure area for when you're out of the room.

Peter was a wondeful host, even getting me a fresh towel late at night when I was coming home late from a festival. The room was a shared dormitory with bedding done daily and the toilet facilities were kept clean. The rooms are above a small pub which gets a little lively on the weekend but you get a 10% discount on the already cheap drinks. Would stay again happily.

This is a great place to stay. We used this hotel as our base as we backpacked across Europe. My wife especially enjoyed making our own breakfast in the fully stocked kitchen. Peter was a great host with lots of tips that made our travels even more enjoyable. The Swinton Train Station is a short walk from the hotel. Everything was great!

You have to share the bathroom with other guest and also the showers are small. The bed was old and my body was sleeping in a hole made by clients over the years. The room was cold and without any type of heat. The morning breakfast was a joke, the best and only worth eating was the green bananas. Under the room it’s a bar that is func

the kindness and hospitality of Peter knows absolutely no bounds. he makes you feel immediately at home and at ease. the property is well taken care of, the beds are comfortable and despite being located above a pub, i still had a great sleep. clean bathrooms, one of the nicest showers known to man and absolutely mind blowing breakfast spread. price/quality ratio doesn’t even compare, it’s simply too good to be true. thank you, peter, for everything you do! i can’t wait to come back again.

Great value for money. However, there was a noticeable smoke smell as soon as we walked in, which was to be expected given that it’s a pub hotel. Sadly we couldn’t stay for breakfast but that would be one for next time.
