Superb. From the moment we entered to leaving. All the staff were more than helpful and caring. Always there and professional. Even a couple who were obviously shattered after a hard day's shift couldn't do enough. The food was exceptional and the room was so clean, warm and well presented.
Cannot recommend this place enough. It's a lovely location with great views too. Loved it.

Ordered gamon steak, very disappointed, extreme amount of salt on the gamon, informed lady about this, but they still charged full amount/bill, not even tried to offer a discount or refund. Are we gonna visit this place again? Definitely NO! That's a shame, very nice area, but looks like unqualified staff are employed there.

The Alma literally came to our rescue during a power cut. We have a new born and they couldnt have been more supportive and helpful. The rooms were great and very cosy. The food was excellent as ever! The staff were amazing, Becky the manager is a superstar! Thanks to all the staff, we couldnt recommend this place more.

What a lovely spot! Superb views of the hills, matched by some well-thought out dishes on the menu. The pies, any of them, are fabulous! I particularly like the fish dishes, always beautifully cooked and with excellent sauces, but having eaten here several times we have never had anything other than a lovely meal. Great choices of beers too.
