Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were very pleasant and helpful and the room was clean. The decor was dated but everything was well maintained. The hotel was dog friendly and in a central location with a sea view and lots of amenities nearby. We had a lovely stay.
The staff at the Afton were very friendly and professional. Apart from needing a bit of updating, the room provided us with everything we needed and a lovely sea view.
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay
