“What strikes me most about Afton House Inn is how Peggy and the entire staff make you feel genuinely at home, a welcoming sentiment that permeates the historic charm of the building. It's clear they've thoughtfully preserved its character while ensuring comfort, evidenced by spacious rooms, some with fireplaces and hot tubs, and a commendable breakfast buffet with a wide wine selection. My lasting impression is of a place that successfully blends its rich past with attentive, personal service, making it a distinctly comfortable and approachable retreat.”
