Staff molto cordiale. Posizione perfetta per chi viaggia con i cani. Ottimo ristorante con prezzi inferiori alla media della zona
Location great, food lovely.
Don’t know!!
They cancelled our room when we were 30 minutes away from arriving.
Absolutely everything the staff were absolutely amazing!!
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent.
Not being able to open the bedroom windows fully in the heat. However, we were offered a room fan
Sehr schönes Pub. Schöne saubere Zimmer. Bequeme Betten.
The breakfast was lovely. Evening meal was ok but not as good as in previous years. The location is just stunning, so peaceful and parking is never a problem. Our bed was very comfortable and we stayed in the larger room for more space. The bedding was lovely and towels etc. Very clean.
The jacuzzi bath did not work and the hotel is looking tired, certainly in need of some TLC. The outdoor area is beautiful but a lot of the furniture was falling apart.
The Inn is situated in a quiet rural setting, but a short distance to Colne or local road network and sites of interest. We had intended to enjoy the trail walks thereabouts, but visit coincided with a heatwave so had to limit activities- age thing - obviously not the hotel's fault! The staff were all very friendly, pleasant and helpful. Bar was well stocked and nibbles/light bites were very good. We would revisit.
No problems encountered.
Excellent food and drink, beautiful views
This is a charming character building The bedrooms are small but well appointed The food was delicious Try to have dinner here
Clean comfy in a great location
Great location, clean and comfortable room, helpful staff, good food.
It was in a lively rural spit with wonderful views all round and very quiet too. Our room was clean and with everything we needed. The shower was excellent … easy to control and good pressure. Mark was a wonderful host with a great welcome and chatty throughout our stay.
We were there for an event and it is exactly what we expected. A great breakfast too with a range of choices . Maybe a bit more fresh fruit if I was to be picky!!
Lovely views, comfortable clean well appointed rooms, very nice country pub atmosphere with excellent cask beers - and great food, too
Large and nicely decorated twin room with a good bath room. The young woman who checked us in was kind and patient when their system would not accept any of our credit cards. She found a way for us to settle our account the following morning which we appreciated. The location offered splendid views and sounds of nature in the morning.
Found this little gem of a place looking for somewhere to stay after doing a planned walk in the area. We had an amazing visit. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the room was fantastic, food was well prepared and tasty, service was efficient, beer and wine choices were extensive and the location of the Inn was great. Would love to visit again in summer and be able to sit outside and enjoy a drink and the view!!
L'emplacement geographique, la vue sur la campagne anglaise, la chambre decoree avec soins, et la gentillesse du personnel
Rien !
Beautiful location with spectacular views. Lovely room, very quiet and tranquil. Delicious breakfast and friendly staff. Will stay again.
Really trivial I know but there were all kinds of different fruit teas on offer at breakfast apart from ordinary breakfast tea!
The hotel is beautifully located in the Pendle hills, but very convenient to other facilities and sites of interest in the area. Views from our room were beautiful and breakfasts excellent and able to be taken after a morning walk at a leisurely time. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
It would have been nice for the manager to explain the difficulties the hotel was experiencing with the plumbing and electricity. The temporary smell and noisy generator outside our window was not pleasant, but no explanation given. This however did not detract to much from an enjoyable stay and we will definitely return.
Absolutely fantastic venue
Everything
Breakfast terrific and good value
Stairs a little steep but that couldn't be helped due to the age of the property
Cute and comfortable, staff all lovely and helpful and beautiful surroundings
Not a complaint - but we booked the room for the spa bath after a long week at work, to find it wasn’t working…. Not the end of the world !! Still enjoyed the trip and been back and dined here since
Good was great and staff very friendly
Didn’t like is harsh. The room was a little tired but perfectly clean and functional. Would stay again.
Comfortable, clean and spacious room with lovely views. Plenty of hot water to soak in good sized bath. Big fluffy towels, free toiletries and good selection on coffee/tea tray. Welcoming atmosphere in the bar and restaurant and friendly staff , special mention to Yvonne who served breakfast and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was very good and plenty of choice . No problems parking. Will certainly stay again 😊
Having to leave. Enjoyed everything .
Relaxed atmosphere Friendly staff Great selection of wines Good food Good breakfast Breakfast offer given for free....very kind indeed!
Communal areas need a bit of tlc...that's all though
excellent breakfast
could start breakfast a little earlier
Room was ok
Cooked breakfast
Very homely atmosphere in beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff and great food. Breakfast especially good.
Extremely large spider behind window blind in bathroom of room 4 😂, personally I was ok but my wife screamed blue murder. Would suggest it is removed 👍
Lovely setting and nice restauraunt
The staff were very friendly and welcoming It was warm, comfortable and clean. We had dinner that was very good
We couldn’t find the entrance from the car park. A sign would help. We decided not to have breakfast as they didn’t have porridge or granola, or fruit on the menu.
Cosy Cottage Accomadation
Our party of 8 staying at the hotel were charged twice for the restaurant bill. 5 weeks later and we have still not received the promised refund.
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.
Warm & friendly with amazing views and tasty food
N/a
The quality of everything was excellent. This hotel deserves its 4 stars. The customer service was first class, their knowledge and expertise, with food and drinks are visible in every detail. The decor is warm and welcoming, the wood burner was constantly tended makings the lounge areas cozy and warm. There is a welcoming atmosphere and I highly recommend.
Great location, very quiet and recommended for walkers.
All good.
Nothing, all good.
Liam and the team very friendly and welcoming, great food and a lovely atmosphere in a very clean and comfortable Inn.
Ambiente tipico, arredamento curato. Personale cortese e massima disponibilità con i cani (eravamo un gruppo di 6 persone con 10 labrador al seguito!!!) e tanto spazio per farli correre.
La vista dalla camera n.3 dà sui tetti del ristorante. Purtroppo è toccata a me, le camere degli altri del gruppo avevano una vista fantastica sulla campagna.
Cannot fault our stay. Such a super location over looking the hills. Fantastic rustic building very well designed interior. Our room was so comfortable. Breakfast was superb with options for full English and full English vegetarian. Staff were equally fantastic!!! 10 out of 10.
Lovely pub with great dining and a warm welcome.
Great location with stunning views. Breakfast extra @ £15 each. Quality good and broad time window. But continental offerings limited. Cleaning staff superb, Friendly waiting staff and management.
In a beautiful location - the views are wonderful Extremely generous sized rooms
Nothing
Very relaxing and great views
Lovely location and great staff. We had Sunday lunch and it was delicious
Our room was above the kitchen and extractor fan so was a bit noisy. Would ask not to be in room 1 if we stay again. Shower cubicle was in the small side.
Wonderful stay. Gorgeous breakfast. Comfy beds. The best bit...the views!!! Wow. Wish we had time to stay longer.
Great property but stop forcing me to write reviews!!!!!!
The location was lovely. The staff were great and very helpful. We had a problem and the Liam was very understanding and is sorting out a partial refund for us.
We had travelled down from Northumberland and I had just finished work so I was really looking forward to a bath before we met with friends. The water pressure in the bathroom was poor. It took forever to run a bath which was only half full. We reported it to Liam the manager and he was not aware of the problem but did his best for us and has promised to refund some of our money.
We arrived at 8pm and the staff purposely left the kitchen open fof us A fantastic welcome . The stsors to thd bedrooms werd steep so have to ho slowly
Lovely welcome, very comfortable room with everything you need. Excellent breakfast, staff very friendly. Beautiful view to wake up to. Definitely stay again.
Very friendly staff, good service, fabulous big room, comfy bed, lovely view, nice hot shower. Good location as not too far for walks on Keighley moor or Stoodley Pike.
Only a couple of things for me, was that as I had the bedroom window open, there was a constant noise, like a fan or generator outside the bedroom window & as a light sleeper, this did wake me, but thats just me.. I had a steak dinner, but for me, the ribeye steak was too fatty. Maybe I just had the wrong thing, as the rest of the menu looked lovely. I would go back & wouldn't put anyone off going. It's in a very peaceful location & a lovely pub.
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
Very nice staff
The breakfast was overpriced and bit underwhelming. The carpet in the hall and in our room was bit grubby. The stairs to our room was very steep and bit unsafe especially with bags.
Lovely area, friendly/helpful staff, comfy bed and room.
Excellent Country Inn..good food and wine
Beautiful country in. Lovely room and superb welcome. A last minute booking turned out to be a hidden gem.
Lovely and peaceful location, food was great and staff excellent and really friendly.
Brilliant staff! Very friendly and welcoming.
I could not fault the food it was really nice especially the breakfast. The girl with the red long hair at breakfast was nice.
It wasn’t the room I thought we were getting from pictures on booking. Com. No view no bath. And a noisy fan all night long also really hard pillows. Hardly slept and then when the morning staff came in and switched the kitchen fan on it was louder. It was a special occasion ruined. I even sent the Alma inn a email message to ask for a room with a bath. They didn’t reply so I obviously thought it was sorted. I even told them it was a special occasion ruined. Not happy at all.
Beautiful location and good food
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.
Breakfast was amazing and huge! Setting is in a lovely location and staff could not have been friendlier
The only criticism I have is the weather was hot and there was no air con in the room
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.
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.
Very clean and friendly staff
The views around the property were stunning, a little hidden gem, lovely bar and restaurant so cosy. Will definitely be going back.
Liked everything
Clean, comfortable, friendly, peaceful and welcoming
Nothing
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.
Very nice stay at the Alma Inn Colne , very friendly staff and Liam welcomed us and explained everything to us . We loved the setting in the beautiful countryside . Thank you to the Alma team
