Afan Lodge

-: to be missed, on arrival our pre booked table was unavailable, after 25mins a place was found in the bar & not the dining room, shown to an unclean table, after another 20 mins we were able to order our meal, the starter arrived quickly but alas the prawn cocktail was missing the rose marie sauce, another 25mins for the main course to arrive on cold plates minus cauliflower cheese, horseradish sauce for the beef & apple sauce for the pork, none of which ever showed up, the stuffing could have been used as a cannon ball it was so solid plus the cutlery was dirty, we had the feeling that this was a cobbled together meal just an after thought, we actually felt sorry for the young waitress as she was apologising to quite a few diners.

Have always had amazing food here, so booked high tea for my birthday celebration with friends. Really disappointed. Basic sandwiches, ham & tomato/cheese & onion which took about half an hour to come out of kitchen after frozen cakes which were soggy. Staff were lovely, however we were told all chefs had left in last few weeks & managers were in the kitchen. Not great when paying £22 per person. Left very disappointed as booking was made over 3 weeks in advance. Won't be returning sadly as waiting staff are lovely & a beautiful setting.

We have been going to Afan for some years and something has changed. The room was clean and lovely as always, you can’t beat the view. Sadly, when we arrived the carpark was scattered with torn bin bags and the rubbish was everywhere. It was disgusting and not very welcoming. The food service was slow, waiting for over an hour to eat with very few people in the restaurant. This happened both breakfast and dinner. On our second morning, we ordered a veggie breakfast (the only veggie option) to be told they had run out of veggie sausages and that they would “chuck” on another hash brown instead. We waited almost an hour for the breakfast to be served, only to be served a plate with broccoli on it instead of hashbrowns, as they had also run out of them. The breakfast was refused and a very disappointing apology was offered, by a gentleman who misgendered us both!!!! When checking out, we were not offered any itemised receipt, simply charged the card on file. Who knows if this is correct or not as we had nothing shown to us. Again still no apology about breakfast. The breakfast bowls were dirty and had bits on them, the glasses were not clean and we had to ask for glasses for drinks, only to be asked “what glasses” by the young girl on service. To use the E-bike charging stations in the cellar, you are charged £5 per station and £20 deposit per key. This is returned to you upon checkout/key return. I didn’t realise until I had returned home that the guy behind the bar had only refunded £20 instead of £40…I wonder how many others they forget. Sadly this will be the last time we stay, things have changed and the staff members do not seem switched on at all.

Amazing place, very friendly, food was so good... Will definitely return Mountain bike trails are fantastic The whole weekend has been so good.. Staff so helpful and friendly, great atmosphere and lovely, comfortable room and bed, 5 stars 🌟

On our two visits to this restaurant we could not fault a singe thing.Food delicious service great, nice quiet atmosphere dining.We will definitely be back when in the area. PS for new customers it would be helpful to have a sign to show you that the restaurant is actually at the rear of the property.

If you are looking for the perfect place for a peaceful retreat, I highly recommend staying at this small riverside hotel. It is a quiet and cosy spot where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful nature: birds singing, clean and fresh air, and the chance to enjoy wild sweet berries. For those who love walking, the hotel offers numerous trails where you can relish the tranquillity and beauty of the surrounding nature. Moreover, within just a few minutes’ walk, you will find a coastline with both sandy and pebbly beaches to choose from. The hotel itself is impeccably clean, with polite and prompt service. All issues are resolved immediately, making your stay very comfortable. A special plus — the hotel is pet-friendly, so you can relax with your furry friends. The hotel has its own restaurant and bar with a wide range of dishes and drinks. The veranda with a stunning view of the mountains is particularly delightful. In the mornings, they offer a choice of four breakfast options, all freshly prepared and delicious. Special mention goes to Kerry, who serves the guests — she is incredibly friendly and caring. I cannot recommend enough the Afan Lodge cheesecake and cider — they are a true delight! Summary: • Beautiful riverside location • Quiet and cosy place for relaxation • Clean air and stunning nature • Proximity to beaches • Polite and prompt service • Pet-friendly atmosphere • Excellent restaurant and bar • Wonderful breakfast • Remarkable Kerry This place has left me with only the most pleasant impressions, and I confidently recommend it to anyone seeking peace and comfort.
