1 / 8The Alma Inn
Colne, Lancashire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A historic pub with rooms in the Pendle countryside near Colne, with moorland on the doorstep and a comfy bed, bowl and treats waiting for your dog.
Moorland is in view from inside the Alma Inn, a historic pub with rooms in the Pendle countryside at Laneshawbridge, full of stone floors, original beams and open fires. For a dog it is all about the walking: the inn says there is no shortage of places to walk dogs right from the doorstep, and that is the heart of what makes it a dog friendly inn worth the trip.
Dogs stay in specific dog friendly rooms among the nine en-suite bedrooms, which mix traditional and contemporary furnishings. Each dog is welcomed with a comfy bed, a water bowl and treats on hand, and after a long day out there is a scoop of Judes Dog Ice Cream for them too. The inn's pages don't state how many dogs may come along or whether a dog may stay unattended, so check both when you book.
The bar area welcomes well behaved dogs, and the house asks that they stay on the lead and off the furniture, and the team will fetch a towel for muddy paws or a bag if you need one. Pets aren't permitted in the restaurant area, though, so ask where you can sit with your dog when you book. The chefs cook light, fresh seafood dishes alongside hearty, classic meat dishes in a traditional pub setting with a modern twist.
The Laneshawbridge to Trawden Nature Reserve walk, a 3.5 mile circular along lanes, fields and cobbled streets, starts outside the Alma Inn. For a second outing with your dog, Wildpack's Wycoller Country Park Circular is 1.7 miles away, and the team are happy to suggest other dog walking routes nearby.
