Peter was a lovely host and was incredibly friendly. It was tricky to get hold of him when I arrived but when he was made aware he came very quickly. The pub had live music until 12 and then had the smoking area just outside the room. This did lead to a lot of noise at night but once it died down I was able to get to sleep. The stay was a budget stay, so I did not have high expectations. It is a great option for a sleep stop. I found that the room was too claustrophobic with the amount of beds in there.

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.

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!

Peter was a very good host and is very helpful. He upgraded my room for one night because of a cancellation and I appreciate it. Although the cleanliness and hygiene was not up to my expectation. The plates and bowls at the breakfast were not clean and the bedding seemed to not have been changed in the dorm room for sometime. Overall for the price I paid it was a good stay.

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.

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.

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.
