The Diggle Hotel in Oldham

Great place, we stopped for a quick drink while out for a cycle ride from Grotton food smelt lovely we had a few starts to put us on.

Lovely pub, lovely atmosphere, great staff, good rooms, good food and beer. For walkers on the Oldham way and a mile off the Pennine Way, it’s ideal.

Great place to stay. Rooms very comfortable and they have thought of everything you will need. Highlight though is the friendliness and helpfulness of everyone in the hotel which definitely made the stay even more enjoyable. Pretty tired after a days walking or I would have loved to have spent more time in the bar where there was a great atmosphere. Thank you so much for everything and making my stay so pleasant and enjoyable.

Very good food and value for money. Welcoming and cosy with great views across saddleworth. Dog friendly with treats for them fur babies.

"Muddy boots and paws welcome" said the sign , we were neither but instantly felt at home , made welcome by the owner, and her Daughter. Sat on the out side decking area my partner and i were taking in the feel of the place, on a lovley warm sunny easter day, being in a valley , trees surrounding the hotel, it quickly developed a pleasant cosy cutch ( cwtch)feeling. The beef roast was most enjoyable and i recommend. It can get busy , but we both never felt ignored by the ever helpful staff. This place certainly had the buzz factor,seemed very popular with locals and wanderers . The rooms were well presented clean ,a good size . Three big bath towels and two pairs of white temporary slippers ,which my partner G , found a nice touch. Later we thought we would investigate the hub bub coming from the bar, and again busy , but gettin to the bar became a joy as anyone near , would muster a path of assistance , and then a most lovley evening was had ,making new acquaintances , it felt like our new local . Thankyou the people of Diggle for a heart warming memorable stay.

We stayed here last night in our campervan. Its free to stay in the carpark and they reserved a space for us. The food was great and the pub was very welcoming. Very good staff and very dog friendly with a doggy menu as well. Will be back here again soon

Great canal tunnel end hostelry.good food and ale. Great place when it's nippy outside and the real fire is blazing.

What amazing place this is ,the food is gorgeous ,combined with the outside dining with their big decking overlooking a grassed area with amazing views .The staff are great and go above and beyond to make your visit memorable in all the best ways .recommended 👌🏽

A great atmosphere at the Diggle Hotel on a warm, sunny evening. Enjoyed a delicious meal with the family. Friendly and helpful staff.

We stayed at the Diggle Hotel while hiking the Pennine Way, and it truly was one of the highlights of our trip. The owners are some of the kindest and most genuine people we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Their warmth, hospitality, and care made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The hotel itself is cozy, full of charm, and the perfect place to rest after a long day on the trail. We can’t recommend the Diggle Hotel highly enough — it’s not just a place to stay, it’s an experience we’ll always remember. Thank you for making our time there so special!

Wow, this is one of the most friendly places I have ever stayed, I was walking the Pennine Way and arrived at Standedge around 5pm, I was told by the owner to ring her at this point, She drove all the way up the hill to pick me up and drive me to her hotel. She showed me up to my room explained how everything worked, the room was amazing, clean , fresh, beautifully decorated, there was a coffee maker, small fridge, bottled water, apple and orange juice, snack bars, bottle of milk, and a variety of breakfast cereals and flavoured porridge. She explained to me they don’t do food on Monday evening but will cook for the guests that are staying there. I went down into the bar and was greeted by the lady that picked me up. Showed me to my seat and made a lovely open roaring fire. She gave me a good choice of food, it was all fresh home cooked, absolutely delicious food and a plentiful amount. The beer was spot on as well , and I’m very picky with my real ales, the young lad behind the bar was very pleasant and helpful. The whole team couldn’t do enough. I felt like I was a special guest. I was leaving early in the morning, 7.00am and she organised a taxi for me to take me to the point I was picked up the day previous. She also got up at 6.00am and made me a fresh packed lunch and put it outside my room for when I left. I didn’t really felt like I thanked them enough for all the help they gave me, with leaving so early. I don’t think I’ll be walking the Pennine Way again but will definitely return to the Diggle Hotel. All in all this place is amazing and the hospitality is 100% Thank you so much Ian She also

We popped in for a drink.. ended up with a 3 meat roast dinner sharing platter! It was delicious- roast potatoes were top tier, crispy AND fluffy, plenty of gravy, nuff said!!

A historic 18th century inn, cosy refurbed room, homemade chilli and log burning stove roaring away - cracking welcome after a long days walking on The Pennine Way. Wishing Roxanne and partner the best of luck with your new venture here - you deserve every success! xx

Had a lovely time here 11march to 14th , food good ,staff lovely .

Stayed here last week , we had a lovely time , staff were lovely and very accomdating, lots of nice walks by the canal. Food and beer was great value .

Just called in for a beer while we were out on the bike, lovely place, great location, superb music, and great staff. Worth a visit.

Called up to see if there was any room. Sue answered and although they were undergoing renovations she put me in touch with her friend who put me up for the night. Very kind of her to do so, and helped me out a huge amount doing the pennine way… lovely pub too full of locals. Enjoyed the local pie and a chat with everyone at the bar. Standout experience.

Called in for breakfast with the local bike group. I asked them if they did cheese on toast, they didn’t but they made it me anyway. They lit a fire for us and made us very welcome. Some places aren’t bike friendly but The Diggle Hotel definitely are.

Friendly, atmospheric pub serving nice ale.

What a beautiful little pub, we made an impromptu visit today after a dog walk and couldn't be more pleased we did! The food was amazing, the staff were attentive, the atmosphere and environment was stunning. We're gutted we live an hour away as we would be regulars if we lived closer. Even the little attention to details of playing cards on each table, lots of games scattered around to keep you busy whilst waiting for the home cooked food with kids. We played jenga, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. Honestly, it was great and the chips were amazing 👏 thank you, hopefully we'll be over for a walk again soon!!

Cosy welcoming pub stumbled across after a Boxing Day walk, food was lovely, staff was welcoming and our dogs got extra TLC 👍

Came in today for food with family. Really tasty pub grub, nice atmosphere and lovely staff. Great value for money. Plus home cooked chips - delicious.

Lovely clean rooms and staff were very welcoming and friendly, food was fabulous too especially their homemade Rag puddings. Will definitely be back again. Thankyou for your hospitality

First visit after seeing it advertised, friendly staff, cosy pub but food let it down, we had steak sandwich and chips… chips were burnt and v unpleasant, salad had seen better days very disappointing doubt we will return

Came to the hotel and requested a room for a single night, having paid 80 pounds for said single night I thought it was reasonable granted the cosy atmosphere of the downstairs lower bar and locale. However, the room was particularly unimpressive, the shower did not work, and I was unable to properly flush the toilet as my girlfriend was later horrified to discover. Aside from the poor state of the room for the price it is given, the service and bar downstairs was most enjoyable. A good alcoholic selection and friendly talkative staff. Would possibly come again however only for food or drinks.

Came across this little gem whilst working on nearby Waterside Cottage on finishing my work for the day tired and hungry I decided to call in and was greeted by Sue the landlady and friendly locals within seated myself close to nice inviting log burner with lovely pint of well kept beer and there gorgeous home made cheese and onion pie i well recommend this place 👌 Keith Woolstencroft Roofing Contractor

Called in for some Lunch and a drink ,decided on the Chicken curry with rice and chips, I wasn't disappointed very tasty and a generous amount, and had a pint of ice cold pint of Cruzcampo, absolutely lovely. Sorry I didn't take any pics of my food and drinks.

Simple rooms, fantastic food, great service and a good selection of beer. Highly recommended

Too Boozer Staff EXCELLENT AT THERE JOB BILLY TOP BLOKE AND BAR GIRL BLONDE CURLY HAIR OUTSTANDING

This pub with rooms is in a great location with picturesque walks nearby, although it is very hilly. There are bridle ways, footpaths and mountain bike trails close by.

Me and my friend were booked in for one night at the Diggle Hotel, the hospitality we received was outstanding. We were meant with kindness and generosity. We had dinner during our stay that was homemade and delicious. We also had sandwiches made for us for our hike the next day with some added sausage rolls, it was exactly what we needed. Could not recommend this hotel/pub enough!!

We were made to feel very welcome here after a hard day of walking in boiling hot sunshine. Had contacted to say we were en route and would they still be serving food. They said they would keep the kitchen open for us. Even when we arrived much mater than anticipated, we were still offered a reduced choice of food which was very well received. As was the excellent Tiger Ruts beer which we followed our meal with! Friendly landlord/landlady and locals. And only 150 yards to our b&b too. All in all was a great end to a great day. Thanks.

We stayed here after a really long day on the Pennine Way. Susan gave us a warm welcome at the bar and made sure we were fed and watered despite us arriving really late - and the food was amazing!! Super tasty main courses of salmon and scampi with fresh produce was way beyond expectations this late at night. Thanks so much for making our stay such a memorable one!

Stayed here while on pennine way. Amazing location and excellent service and food. Incredibly convenient, great price and great selection of beers. Highly recommended

Great friendly pub 👍 Beautiful setting and a bonus, sunshine and a brass band 💯💯💯

Very friendly welcome! For lunch, we had a lovely generous sharing platter of prawn and salmon salad with the best old style chips and a requested addition of chunky bread and butter. Perfect for two hungry walkers and we'll definitely be back next time we are in the area!

Fantastic friendly service. The best vegetarian meal I’ve ever eaten out! Couldn’t fault a single thing.

Really friendly, great service, nice people. Will def go back. Couldn't do enough for you. Clean. Pies looked amazing.

A proper nice local pub ! Loads of seats , real log fire , ambient light and great staff. Highly recommended and worth the 10 mins walk from the main road.

Lovely place great staff very good atmosphere proper pub

Visited this place many times before. Great for walkers cyclists or a nice drive out for a bite to eat. Very dog friendly 🥰 And a great old style jukebox.

Good selection of beers. Not thrilled about the food menu .

Had a spam sandwich. Not many place will do them.

My family were visiting from abroad for Christmas, the team was very helpful and friendly.I would recommend to stay here again.

Stayed over in our campervan. Very friendly welcome.

We called in after a walk around the area on a Sunday Lunchtime. The pub has a lovely open fire, lots of original features, it was very clean and the food was well presented, hearty and filling. The staff were friendly and service was great.

Great pub, relaxing environment in a lovely setting. Lots of choice of beer and wine. Gorgeous fresh food. Friendly staff always have a smile

Lovely pub with a really hospitable landlord and landlady. We regularly enjoy the hearty home cooked food - the pies are especially good - proper plate pie too. Good beer selection as well. Went in yesterday after a long journey home from a holiday - the kitchen had just closed and they took pity on us and opened up again to make us dinner. Not many would do that after all the cleaning had been done. Had delicious hot roast beef sarnies, koftas and fries. It was much appreciated and saved our evening. Thank you so much Billy and Sue!

Really good home cooked lunch , steak special was superb Cheese and onion pie excelled great value good cask beer on tap Very friendly traditional pub .

Absolutely fabulous pub. Drink selection is great lots of real ales, premium lagers, fizz, wine and a lovely gin selection. Pub has a lovely atmosphere and a really friendly welcome! The terrace outside is super in the sunshine

We always stop off here , usually for a beer & food The food is nicely cooked, plenty of it! Great choice to The landlady & landlord are friendly and make you welcome Added bonus of a log burning fire

Why this pub isn’t busier for going for food I have no idea, people out there your missing out, last night I had rack of lamb cooked to perfection at a cost of £12.95, you wouldn’t get this quality at that price anywhere, it’s a down to earth country pub, no frills and spills, well worth a visit.

The Diggle hotel is a very old country pub is in a great location with outside seating overthrew countryside, it is 5 minutes walk from the Standage tunnel entrance on the canal. Great variety of drinks and good honest pub grub.

Five of us stayed before a family funeral. Sue and Billy made us feel very welcome and many friends joined us for a drink in the pub where the atmosphere was very friendly. Food was good, you must try the cheese and onion pie. The funeral was early afternoon and Sue and Billy were very flexible and let us have a slightly later check out time. Thoroughly recommend.

Billy and Sue are great hosts, very friendly and accomodating. The rooms are basic but clean and very comfortable and the food is excellent. I would highly recommend. So nice to meet you, seeya soon and thanks again. Daniel.

I booked Boxing Day on the 19th November for 5 people. I rang on the 6th Dec to add 2 more people and was told they are no longer doing food Boxing Day they are having a sports day instead. At what point would they have contacted me to let me know that. Appalling do not book into this pub and expect food!!!

We were a party of 9 celebrating our friends birthday (as a surprise). Really friendly service from all the staff and food was very good, keep up the good work and hope to see you again soon.

We decided to go after reading the recent article in the Saddleworth Independent about the new ownership, restaurant quality food, value for money etc. All l can say it was very disappointing. When we walked in there was a man facing us putting up the menus on a board, he never even looked at us, no hello, no warm welcome, nothing. In fact it was the cleaner who first said can l help you. This was at 1.00pm on a Saturday lunch, there were only 4 other people in. The main issue was to come, the quality of the sandwiches - Hard crusted white sliced bread with warmed up beef slices out of a packet, at £5.95 for a supposedly hot beef sandwich. When we complained they knock £1.00 off each one because then had been mainly eaten (more because we were hungry than enjoyment). Sorry we won’t be going back.

Not eaten in the Diggle for a few years, so today we had lunch with some friends, the food was very tasty, nice & hot and overall great value. The landlady is really fried& helpful, well worth a visit.

This hotel was a sight for sore eyes when finishing a long walk from Torside. This quaint hotel didn’t disappoint with good food, great service and comfortable beds. Everything you would need after a long day!

Best pub, great food. Excellent rag pudding. Well worth a visit. Visited with family great food deal '2 for £15' very generous portions and delicious. Washed down with a good local beer.

Excellent hotel for a stop over on the Pennine Way. Welcoming staff, great food, perfect location and clean rooms! Sunday roast in the sunny beer garden was the perfect end to our days walk.

We had a very comfortable night's stay here while walking the Pennine Way. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was tasty and the 'continental' breakfast which was included in the room rate was sufficient to fuel us for our day's walking. Thanks,...

Fri3ndly environment. Very clean. Staff were friendly and the rooms are great. Lovely people. Have a good stay. Would recommend

We have just had what I can honestly say, has to be one of the nicest sunday roast dinners I have ever had. Beef tender, gravy plentiful, crispy on the outside, soft inside roast potatoes, a rarity in itself these days, and fresh cauliflower, broccoli...

This is my first ever review on TripAdvisor and just felt the need to write something on promoting this place, we have revisited plenty of times in the last 3 weeks and will continue to do so.2 very satisfactory meals for £10 and ample choice makes it almost no point of cooking at home.The staff have been very accomadating and pleasent, it has been busy over the last few weeks and full sunshine, sitting outside looking at the views has made it most enjoyable. The app to order is easy enough to use. Deffo my go to pub and I ain't local.Dave

Great place, only 5 minutes walk from our cottage. adn we found that we passed by often when we were on a walk, and so we would drop in for a drink

Our walking group was looking for somewhere to have a Christmas lunch and following a visit in the summer, we arranged to come to the Diggle Hotel.Despite not opening at lunchtime over the winter months, Stephen opened the pub specially and made our group of 18 very welcome.The food was excellent, the homemade cheese and onion pie was really good as was the Cumberland sausage and hot pot.Despite there being so many in the group, the food came out in good time.Everybody enjoyed the visit, the Diggle Hotel is a lovely traditional pub and we were really well looked after by Stephen and Jake.Definitely recommend a visit here.

My husband and I booked for Sunday lunch.Arrived at midday no one else there which we thought was unusual. Three courses for £12 which is very reasonable although the beef was of extremely poor quality! All throughout our meal a man continued to clean the dining area with spray which we found very uncomfortable as we were trying to enjoy our meal!Felt at sometimes he was going to start cleaning my boots! I appreciate pubs need cleaning however this should have been completed before opening for diners! At present I wouldn’t recommend to eat here on a Sunday!

Nice place to stay and friendly staff. New owners are doing their best to establish the hotel and pub and are doing a good job. Food is good and the staff attentive. I will continue to stay here on my visits north.

Great pub ,Good choice of ales , Friendly owners,They did not seem to assosiate with their website info,3 times I walked Greenfield to Diggle , Website said open , Pub closed , I cancelled my B & B + Dog booking , It is a GREAT pub , Once they get over teething problems ! It could be SUPERB

Arrived to a warm welcome and friendly faces. Lovely hot shower and a corking rag pudding chips peas and gravy ***** sticky toffee pudding and ice cream together with lovely blonde ale and generous portions of wine.An early breakfast was provided for us which was again top notch with as much coffee and toast as we wanted. Stephen was an absolute GEM and drove us back to our finishing point to return to our pennine way walk. **Recommended **

Booked a table for 4, waited around 10 to 15 minutes before we were even offered a drink, ordered 4 meals only to be told that they didn’t have 3 of them so chose alternatives to then be told they didn’t have garden peas to go with them, extremely poor. 2 of the meals which were Sunday dinners came served with frozen/tinned veg which is appalling, frozen Yorkshire puddings and a very bland chicken breast. All in all a very poor experience, we won’t be returning anytime soon.

Just been back to the Diggle Hotel and the new owners have really got it right. Great food, good ales and wine and a comfortable ambience, all with accommodation still. Recommended-call in!!

I first ate here in June and it really wasn't up to much - however back again this week, a new chef and the menu was terrific - so many dishes I fancied, the chef had worked in Portugal which inspired some of the dishes on offer. Eventually I went for the traditional fish and chips which were second to none. Really fun staff to boot! Hope this new lease of life continues and the venture is successful!

Went for a walk and drink after work on a Friday evening and decided to try the food at the Diggle hotel. We had the finger platter (garlic bread, chicken goujons, fish goujons, mozzarella sticks and onion rings) to share and we shared a Cajun chicken burger. Both meals were excellent. Especially the fish goujons, they were soo tasty. We can’t wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu, there is a really good choice of food and service was great. Thank you!

Under the original family owners, the Diggle Hotel was a classic place to eat. Well cooked fresh food at reasonable prices. In the last ten years it has changed hands a few times and each time the food has reduced in quality and increased in price.

We came to the Diggle Hotel after a tough second day on the Pennine Way. We were informed when we got to there that there was a new chef and it was only his second day, so we were not really sure what to expect. We ordered Cheese and Onion Pie and the Diggle Burger with Chicken Liver Pate to share - we were really hungry so asked for it all to be brought out at the same time, which they managed to do!

I have previously reviewed this establishment and gave it 5 stars. But unfortunately it has changed hands and to say it has gone downhill would be an understatement.

The Diggle hotel is a hidden gem which is an easy 40 minute walk along the canal from uppermill. It’s under new management so the menu was quite limited. We had Cod & chips which was piping hot. Hopefully next time we go in the menu will have expanded & be a little more adventureous.

Visited today with my children and had 2 lovely beef Sunday roasts while the children chose off the children's menu. There is a limited but lovely menu on offer with food locally sourced where possible. It was a welcoming atmosphere and staff were happy to help. Would highly reccomend to friends who are in search of good honest food.

Limited menu on bank holiday Monday. But saying that, good honest, food cooked well is what you get with friendly service and good portions. Beer is also good.

We booked a table in advance for 16 people for a special birthday meal. We had to wait an hour for the food and nearly all of the meals were sent back due to uncooked steaks, misleading descriptions of food and generally poor quality produce.

New people have moved in and the food is from Tesco freezer. It’s awful. Don’t bother . Gone down hill Fast. Where’s the landlord from before? Or the staff gone?

Booked a table in advance for Sunday lunch. We arrived on time and ordered immediately, There was no indication that there would be any delay. Over an hour later we gave up and left without our food,an apology, or any other explanation.

Just had a really lovely weekend away at The Diggle Hotel. The staff were great, the food was excellent and the locals are very friendly. Would definitely recommend this hotel and village. The views are amazing.

We went to the Diggle hotel after a busy weekend and seeing a review on Facebook, needless to say it was brilliant from walking in. We arrived a little early but were shown to our table and given the menu, having never ordered before we chose to have the starter and main course deal. The starters came out and were amazing, very generous portions and lots of options. Then we had the roast beef dinner and the amount of food was unbelievable, so much so we have taken it home to warm up for tea tomorrow! Outstanding service by the two waitresses! The young girl who served us was more than accommodating and very friendly. We can’t wait to go back with family!

The Diggle hotel is under recent new management. Food is both amazing quality and superb value. Love the portion sizes too. You won't leave hungry!!

Went here for Mother's Day meal, nothing I can say except it was amazing. It needs 10 stars!! The amount of food was unbelievable, they even gave you plastic cartons to take left overs home. Really lovely food and place
