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.

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.

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.

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.
