This was our second trip to the Afton and we found it had improved on its food quite considerably. It was ALWAYS hot and plentiful with a selective menu. The waitressess were quick and not left us waiting between courses.
Our room was cleaned daily and the room maid very helpful by making our beds each day. She too was very pleasant
Reception staff was pleasant and helpful. I had occasion to visit the local surgery Jason, the manager, phoned the locol GP for an appointment and booked a taxi.
The hotel had put on a raffle for Tickets as VIP guests of the Aero club for the Air Show and we were fortunate to have those tickets. We enjoyed our week greatly and look forward to our return.

the afton is a frendly hotal.good food and service.meal always hot and on time,clean but some parts a little tired,the only problem was its opposite the pier and on certain nights of the week becomes a nightclub so can be noisy.

A beautiful old fashioned theatre with charm. Unfortunately the matinee audience was small for some excellent local acts paying tribute to the fallen of WW2.

After being lucky competiton winners, we attended 2 brilliant shows this week, at the fabulous Royal Hippodrome Theatre. First of all, I would like to stress that I am hugely ashamed that we have never been to the hippodrome before (although we are local). It is an absolute gem of a theatre and thoroughly deserved to be saved from rack and ruin!
The 1st show we saw Hooray for Hollywood, I have to say I was sceptical about seeing and taking my 4 yr old daughter to see. I couldn't have been more wrong!!!! We had an absolutely fantastic time, toe tapping and singing all the way through. Grant was fantastic as compere and multi talented with his singing and dancing. My daughter was delighted with all the dancing and the funny man (Renato). Renato did a great job as Charlie Chaplin and has all laughing hard. He is amazing at the aerial silks and his stunts were breathtaking. This is a thoroughly enjoyable show for all ages which I recommend everyone to see asap.
Today, we saw our 2nd show at the hippodrome which was Treasure Island. This had some big names in the form of Dani Harmer (Tracy Beaker) and Chris Edgerley( Hi-5). As having children ranging from 15 to 4 I know these names well from TV programmes,. The set, cast, music were all amazing but the best part was seeing the absolute hilarity of Jolly Rogers Hawkins! He had the entire audience (and cast I might add) in the palm of his hand throughout the show. It was filled with hilarity and I have never laughed so much in my life! The children were all very professional and performed to a high standard as did the rest of the cast. It is hard to find something that my entire family will enjoy together but this certainly proved a hit. Every one of us was in fits from start to finish and we cannot wait to come and see another Wicked Production show at the hippodrome.
Well done to everyone involved in both of the shows.
Lastly, I would like to add that everyone who works at the theatre are volunteers and they are all kind, helpful and obviously enjoy being there.
My congratulations to everyone who keep this theatre up and running and you will see us at another of your shows very soon x
