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.

Unforgettable.

I Will start off by saying that the owner Peter is friendly and accommodating. The place is not far from the train station, and you can get to Manchester in 15 mins. However there we’re some issues with our stay. First the whole place smells strongly of cigarette smoke and I found a burnt out cigarette butt in the shared toilet beside the sink. The room was rather scruffy with mould on the ceiling and mysterious stains on the bed sheets. The music from the bar downstairs was very loud and plays til late. Very loud karaoke. Also can hear customers drinking and yelling in beer garden til late. Only available light source is the ceiling light that comes with an added surprise of being a Bluetooth speaker which someone from the bar had un knowingly connected to while we were in bed late at night. The speaker was blaring uncontrollably and changing colours rapidly. The only way to stop the invasively loud sounds was to turn the light off completely as there are no buttons to control the speaker part of it. Obviously as it’s above a bar you know what you’re in for with the noise, and if you like a drink, karaoke, and socialising with the locals, it’s a good spot for you. If you’re travelling with intent of having a quiet and early night, might not be the place for you. All in all an unforgettable stay.

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.

It wasn’t the Ritz but it wasn’t sold as that! Good value for money, everything was as described and our host was cheerful and very helpful. The karaoke was fun in the evening and we had a good reception from locals and other guests there too. A good place to stay while on the road or for onward travel!
