Deservedly popular friendly village local.
Very friendly staff in popular and welcoming village local. We only stayed one night and didn't eat here though the menu looked great. Obviously popular with locals and tourists alike for a small village it was busy on the Saturday night we stayed. Room was clean and comfortable though dated. The bed was a bit older than some but perfectly pleasant. The surrounding area is stunning with plenty to do within a short drive and lots of walking on your doorstep. Overall a most enjoyable stay.

Great times
From the moment we arrived we were treated like family, it was a very relaxed atmosphere but efficient service. Anything we needed was arranged from taxi numbers to warm milk for our three year old. Great food and drinks too. A good size accommodation with a cosy but fresh feel.All staff were welcoming and happy to help. We will definitely stay here again.

Turned up on a Friday night, pub was busy but got shown to our room quickly. Ordered food at the bar and there was a good selection. Breakfast was lovely, a full English and they provided packed lunches, so ideal for travellers.

Thank you for your feedback, yes most of our rooms are on the main road but being caldbeck the roads are not busy so it’s nice and quiet. We are currently putting WiFi in all rooms and just need to boost he signal to reach the furthest couple of rooms. We are new owners of the business and are renovating many areas and making many improvements like new beds etc....

The Oddfellows Arms, great atmosphere.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Oddfellows Arms, the owner was very welcoming and so was her son who showed me to my room. The chef was also very helpful and even made her signature dish for me one night, accompanied by a freshly made full english breakfast each morning.

Agreeable
The proprietors were friendly and welcoming and did all to ensure my stay was comfortable. The pub's location is well suited to exploring the town, being a 5-10 min walk from the centre on a quiet street. Although there was nothing wrong with my (single) room, I was disappointed with it relative to the cost. I paid a bit more to stay here (could have booked a cheaper room) but it lacked cosiness and/or home comforts- small TV, bed etc. I had no control over the heating although when I told the proprietors it was cold they did correct this.

Family run, delightful B&B stay
Lovely little B&B above a delightful pub. We were very well looked after and given great tips and advice about the area by the owners. Everyone was very welcoming. The room was cozy and clean, nothing fancy but just what we needed for a little night away with friends. Great location, close to the centre of Cirencester. Great value for money.

The last room in Cirencester!
Having passed through Cirencester a few weeks ago on a Sunday (don't visit on a Sunday as most shops are closed), decided to visit again on a day when the shops were most likely to be open (and there was a craft market on). Sadly, as disorganised as ever, by the time I got round to booking, the only room left sub-the-£250-pound-a-night-Kings_Head, the only room left within the town borders was the Oddfellows ... with a shared bathroom. Whilst the Four Pillars looked bland and corporate for the same price, it would have meant staying outside of town and driving in the next day, so we took the plunge, and we're glad we did. The Oddfellows is a proper pub - it has a proper fire, and proper beer. You can play darts ... and pool, and talk as there isn't music blaring out, and it has dogs - the pub dog (Ted - the friendliest lab on the planet), local dogs (Jonesy - a splendid labradoodle), and if you wanted to bring your own, it's also allowed. Fortunately the shared bathroom was ours for the night, as there was no-one in the other room. The room itself was clean and tidy, if a tad compact, and breakfast was lovely. The windows open, and as the pub is on a residential street, it's quiet, so had a good night's sleep. It's easy walking into the town centre, which is lovely, and well worth a visit. If you're looking for luxury, you won't find it here, but if you're looking for friendly staff, a nice room, and a good breakfast, you've hit the jackpot. As Arnie said, 'I'll be back'

Great pub for an overnight stay & dinner
Very nice country pub with excellent beer and nice atmosphere. Don't expect 4 star hotel rooms but then you don't pay anything close to 4 star hotel prices! My room was clean, comfortable and all you need for an overnight stay. The food was OK but could improve a bit - the fish was over-battered, the chips not fully cooked. The full English breakfast the next morning was fine. The only gripe was that the young staff woke me up at 01-30 chatting and laughing out the back of the pub, right underneath my window. This went on for a long time and eventually I had to bring it to their attention. It was then still a little longer before they finally left. Hopefully in the future they will be a bit more considerate. All in all, good quality for the price and can be recommended.

何だか心に残る宿
地元のパブの2階に4.5室ありB&Bとして部屋を提供していました。 ご夫婦かカップルか、お2人でパブをやっていらっしゃり気さくな良い方々でした。 パブの2階なので、夜に話し声などが聞こえるのは了解の上滞在しましたが、部屋の換気扇が結構な音で動いているからか(止めるとこが見つけられなかった)全く階下の音は聞こえなかったです。 周辺は静かな住宅街で良かったです。 治安も良かったですが、10月下旬は18時には もう真っ暗で、町の中心からは少し離れていますので、それ位の時間には殆ど人通りはありませんでした。 でも、バス利用の女性一人旅でも大丈夫です。 (宿の方は夜からしかいらっしゃらない様で荷物を先に預ける事は出来ませんでした。車でない個人旅行者には辛いとこです) 部屋は清潔ですが、滞在者に様々配慮されたB&B(専門のとこ)と比べると、シャワースペースは かなり狭いし、お湯も2日目は殆ど出なかったし、ドライヤーもありません。 ティーメーカーは汚れていて何度も洗い煮沸してみましたが使えませんでした。それだけは清潔に改善して欲しい点ですが、他は、パブの仕事の傍ら お部屋を貸しているから他のB&Bと比べたら少し快適度は下がっても、私個人的には これ位なら普通かなと特に不満はありませんでした。 しかし、同じ位の料金で快適度が より高い宿はもっとあると思います。 ただ、大して話した訳ではないながら、何だか パブの主のお2人の あたたかい感じが印象に残る宿でした。 朝食は、こちらの予定に合わせた時間で作ってくれます。 メニューは、所謂フルイングリッシュブレックファースト。 シリアル、ジュースは自由に。トースト、紅茶かコーヒー。 ソーセージやベーコン、マッシュルームなど他のところと内容的には同じなのに、味はパブ飯って感じで、さらに とっても美味しかったです！！ ボリュームも たっぷり、また食べに行きたいです！

パブ二階の宿、とても素敵な滞在でした
街の中心からは少し離れていますが、それでも歩いて10分ほど。長距離バス乗り場からは徒歩5分ほどの場所に立地しています。静かな場所でした。中に入ると2匹の人懐っこいわんこがお出迎え。犬が苦手な人はやめたほうがいいかも。パブ二階にお部屋が五つほどあり、その中のひとつに案内されました。部屋もそれなりに広く、シンプルで、ペットボトルのお水も人数分おいてあったのは嬉しかった。バスルームも非常に広かったです。 ただ、下がパブになっているので、夜はお客さんたちの賑やかな話し声が階下から聞こえてきます。私たちはそれがむしろよかったので問題ありませんでしたが、静かに寝たい人には向かない気がします。夜遅くになると声はぱったりと止みました。 ボリューム満点の朝食に、おばさんもフレンドリー、次の日バイブリーに行くためのタクシーも快く呼んでくれました。総じてとても思い出に残るB&Bでした。
