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.

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.

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
