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.

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.

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 an amazing host, even upgraded my room because I missed the first night and had vacancies in a room with a double bed. Amazing breakfast too! Had a lovely convo with Peter as well. Thank you!

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.

although it looks a little shabby on tbe outside the room was clean and warm
the owner Peter really went the extra mile to be accomodating, giving recommendations for local spots to eat
its above a karaoke bar so it was a little loud but not obnoxiously so, and Peter did offer to move me to a different room if the noise too much
overall a very good value for money place to stay, especially with the complementary breakfast

Would not recommend
The pub doesn’t open until 7pm. And it doesn’t close until 1am. Or later. Please stay away. We couldn’t check in when we arrived, as the landlord was elsewhere getting a slow puncture repaired. You share a bathroom and toilet. And apparently the guy who is the handyman lives in one of the rooms and wanders to the bathroom with hardly anything on. We left and went back home after we checked in and found the place was not very nice at all. Also they don’t do food.
