STAFF at the Alma Inn, Laneshawbridge, are celebrating after receiving a glowing evaluation from a leading tourism authority.

The inn has had its four-star rating confirmed by Visit Britain, with its bathrooms, restaurant and breakfasts rated five-star.

It is a further achievement for the business, which only opened in 2008 after undergoing refurbishment.
