Many thanks for your encouraging review. We've worked hard in the last few years to make the Afton Hotel the best it can be and these plans continue with the re-furbishment of bedrooms this year. But I've always considered that cleanliness & good service is worth more than anything and I'm thrilled that you felt that the hotel scored on... More

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

It was a fun evening made even more enjoyable by the wonderful service that we received from the hotel. The Afton Hotel team made everyone feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all for making our evening... More

I'm so glad your event was a success. One of our catch phrases at the hotel is that we "take fun seriously". This really means that we take the needs of our guests seriously and I'm extremely pleased that you felt your expectations were met on this occasion. More

I'm delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us at the Afton. We really do aim to please and it's great to know when we've succeeded. The scaffolding was up because the outside is being completely redecorated. It's almost finished now and I hope you'll enjoy our smart new colours when you next visit. More

I'm so sorry that you were disturbed by revellers leaving the nightclub on the Pier during your stay. This happens occasionally on a Saturday night and I have been actively campaigning to control this noise nuisance. I'm due to meet with the manager of the Pier and the licensing dept of the council again shortly and I will pass on... More
