Have just spent a night here with a group of friends. For the money and location it is a good deal. There are no fancy frills, basic rooms and ammenities, but a nice relaxed atmosphere and an excellent breakfast with good service. Directly opposite the pier, the hotel even provides a parking permit so you don't have to spend extra... More

just had a holiday at this hotel and would say that this is where you would get what you pay for!! Althought the food is adequate it is somewhat unimaginative. The rooms are, by comparison with other two star hotels, a little on the small side so if you are a small person then you will be o.k. However the... More

Your unfortunate title for your review doesn't seem in keeping with what you actually say. You seem happy with the breakfast so i can only assume that your comments about the food being unimaginative were about the evening meal. I've never had a complaint about this before. However I'm sorry that dinner failed to live up to your expectations. Some... More

This was the 2nd time we have had an overnight stay at the Afton. And again great value for money. The 3 course evening meal at only £10 a head was tasty, the breakfast very good too. There is also entertainment on in the evenings , a keyboard player was on Thursday evening, we enjoyed it. We will most certainly... More

Just returned from another great week end at the Afton Hotel. As part of a larger group, Jason and his team made us all welcome this weekend. From the lovely people front of house who were always willing to help to the invisable angels that look after us in the background. Thanks again and hope to see you next year

Thank you very much for your review. I'm glad you had a good stay with us and I hope you enjoyed your birthday. I take all your comments seriously. The DJ plays a mixture of modern music and most people like him but he's always happy to play particular requests if asked. I'm sorry he wasn't quite to your taste.... More
