Lovely pub on the outskirts of Colne and Laneshawbridge with easy access for the Dales and the moors around Skipton. Clean and comfortable accommodation, and tasty food. Definitely worth a visit.

It’s the second time we’ve stayed. The first time in July so it was lovely to see a period Inn decked out for Christmas. We met with locally placed relatives for dinner which was lovely. Staff all friendly, especially Yvonne who does the breakfast shift and settled our bill. The Inn has great views and an enjoyable experience overall.

Glorious location and comfortable rooms

Quick stop visiting friends. Lovely location and very busy food operation worth a visit if your passing through the glorious countryside. Staff busy but helpful enough.

Lovely views and peaceful location.

Beautiful place, with stunning views front and back. Room was fine, but the bathroom was a bit tired. Didn’t eat there but the food looked nice. Would be lovely to sit outside with a beer when the weather picks up a bit. Will stay again.

Rural location minutes out of Colne centre. Impressive characterful mullion windowed property on two floors with excellent 1entrance and bar area. Plenty of seating for diners inside and out. Good menu on pricey side though. Venue for weddings and parties. Steep staircase to upper floor.

My 3-night stay in January was nothing short of wonderful. My room was extremely well appointed and comfortable, with a lovely bathroom. The restaurant food was excellent both for breakfast and dinner and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The location for me was great as I had family in Colne and we did some travelling to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. This characterful hotel, built originally in 1725, is in the countryside' with a view of the famous Pendle Hill, but is a reasonably short ride from Central Colne. It is highly recommended.

Arrived about 10:45pm, asked if any food available...none only alcohol, not even vending machine. Nice bathroom. Bedding had blood and other unknown stains. Not impressed by cleanliness. Bar noise filered up to bedroom. Hall and room smelled like old wet wool, too hot to sleep, no fan, no airconditioning. A disappointing venue.

A cosy escape

Great one night stay. Very cosy atmosphere - especially near the fire. Great selection of doo and drinks and very friendly staff - would stay again.

Genuinely friendly welcome and a very comfortable, clean room - all of which I needed after a long, hard day on the Pennine Way. Arrived too late to eat in the evening but breakfast was terrific. Would thoroughly recommend the Alma.

Lovely peaceful place with beautiful views

Lovely peaceful place to stay. Rooms are comfortable but I seem to have a problem with pillows they were definitely too hard The hot water for the bath was only a trickle Food is nice enough but not fabulous It was good value for the money

2/10 Poor

Disappointing Stay at the Alma Inn, Colne — Not Quite the 4-Star Experience After a long day of travel, we arrived at the Alma Inn with expectations of a luxurious and comfortable stay, buoyed by its website description and AA 4-star rating. Sadly, what we encountered in Room 2 was far from what was promised. Pros: · Early Wake-Up Call — for early risers only (see below for the why). Cons: · Dated and Worn Interior: The room was small, in need of decorating, with dirty carpets and visible stains on the walls. · Cramped Bed: At 6'3", my feet dangled well off the edge of the very small double bed. Thankfully, I like my wife — we had to stay especially close that night. · Tiny Shower Cubicle: One of the smallest I’ve ever squeezed into — not exactly spa-like comfort. · Musty Atmosphere: The room had a damp, stale feel, possibly due to an ineffective bathroom extractor fan. · Persistent Noise: Situated above the kitchen, the drone of the kitchen extractor outside our wall (peaking at 67dB) didn’t stop until 21:30. Then, as a Friday-to-Saturday guest, our “lie-in” ended abruptly at 08:07 when the extractor roared back to life. Frankly, I thought we were staying next to an aircraft engine test bay. Due to limited text insufficient space to provide how shockingly bad the food in the restaurant was and our experience but further details can be provided upon request.

Perfect stay at the Alma. All staff were helpful and nothing was to much trouble. All friendly and personable. Rooms were very spacious with excellent views over the moors. Would highly recommend.

4/10 Fair

Firstly the hotels location, the staff, the room cleanliness, the bed comfort, and the hotels restaurant are excellent. However it was let down by my rooms location. Ensure when booking you are not given room 1. I booked for Sunday evening which usually isn't the busiest of nights. I booked through a well know hotel website and got a good deal but regardless of the deal room 1 is not worth it. The room is situated above the kitchen with the air con unit running. The speaker from the bar, the bass can be heard. This quietens down by 9pm. You are though woken at 7am when kitchen starts up for breakfast the next day. No chance of a lie in. What a disappointment after such great reviews for the hotel. Room 1 should not be allowed to be booked out. It damages hotels reputation. I'm sure seeing where the other rooms are, there would be no issue, as along the corridor. Just don't stay in room 1. I did ask to change the room as soon as I noticed when I arrived but was told a ridiculous amount money it would cost as need an upgrade. The WiFi is free but not secure. To top it off please also note that room 1 has no views. No views of the countryside just the kitchen roof and red bins. I've stayed in a lot of hotels and have not been more disappointed by the room.

Stunning views to Pendle Hill from our room, friendly staff and an excellent dinner and breakfast. This was a much-needed short getaway and, with a great day’s walking today during which we hardly saw soul, was everything we’d hoped for. We will return.

My wife and I had dinner both evenings of our stay. On the 2nd evening my choice of 7oz fillet steak was unavailable so I opted for 10oz rib eye. Unfortunately the quality of the steak was poor - chewsome to the extreme! Very disappointing. We have been staying at the Alma for over 40 years and the steak on previous occasions has always been excellent.
