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.

Affordable, cheerful and with a great vibe !

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!

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

Peter the owner of this property is a very nice, helpful man. He has put a lot of work and time into this building which caters for low budget stay yet he supplies a self service hot meal and continental breakfast which was very tasty. Our room was bright and cosy, no tv which was not a problem as we had gone out for a birthday party elsewhere. Comfy settee, fresh milk in worktop fridge for drinks supplied and even though a band seemed to be practising after karaoke finished we did get to sleep until 8am. No ensuite but not a problem as separate modern toilet and shower room just nearby bedroom. Even though building is on the road the traffic noise was minimal. Peter still has a lot to do with the property, it is a work in progress and even though Peter working alone he will succeed. Staff and other guests where also friendly and helpful.There is a wood/park at bottom of the road where we took our dogs for a walk, pub restaurant 5 minute walk from Oddfellows as too is easy access to the M60, Peter advised us of this as we had arrived on a different route.

Overall, I enjoyed my time. I really liked my roommates, and the bedding was comfortable. I could feel some of the mattress springs, but I got decent sleep. The host, Peter, was pleasant and welcoming. Despite signs saying to keep doors closed because the heat was on, it was always cold in the rooms and halls. The bathroom never had toilet paper in it, but no one else ever commented on it, so I just made-do. I did not say anything and I accept that. Some nights were noisy because of the bar downstairs, but that's to be expected. I found it easy to sleep through. One night we had some particularly rowdy residents fighting and the shouting was very annoying, but my roommates and I stayed up just chatting, instead. Check-in and check-out was very straightforward, although the getting in part took longer because I was early, called, but did not leave a message. Entry and exit from the building after check-in was very easy. Breakfast was provided for, with a variety of choice. However, you needed to be early, lest other residents eat all the portions provided. That's not the fault of the host; greedy people are everywhere. The surrounding neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe. The bus stop is just a 3 minute walk from the back door and connects to a larger bus terminal in a short distance. The area is farther away from Manchester City Centre, but you guarantee some peace and quiet, if that's what is preferred. I enjoyed my time and would stay here, again.
