"We are writing to say thank you to yourself, Mr Clarke and all your staff for organising such a wonderful wedding celebration for Dawn and Adrian. The food, both in respect of quality and quantity, was magnificant and the service provided by your staff was second to none. The staff were extremely polite and nothing was too much trouble for them, even to standing out in the freezing cold with trays of drinks on our arrival back from the church service. Thanks to yourself, the organisation of the day went like clockwork which removed a considerable amount of stress from ourselves. Thanking you once again fro your help and support." Lesley and Malcolm Crawford (1st November 2008)
"Thank you very much for co-ordinating our wedding in such a friendly and professional manner. We had a fantastic day and all the arrangements ran smoothly. We both appreciate your involvement in making it such a memorable day". Diana and Chris Mollaney (26th October 2008)
"..just a short note to thank you all so much for giving us a very special day to remember. Everything was absolutely perfect and couldn't have been better. The service, food, arrangements and attention to details was first class.." Nick and Rachel Parkin (4th October 2008)
"I just had to write to say what a wonderful weekend my Husband and I have just had at your Hotel. We were there for the wedding of our niece Rachel Devenish to Mr Nick Parkin and had travelled from Kent on Friday 3rd October for this special occasion. From the minute we arrived to the minute we checked out was worth every mile of the journey. What an excellent standard of service is offered throughout, from the directions given right the way through to checkout.
There is nothing about the Glen-Yr-Afon that we can fault. The service from all members of your staff was exemplary. There were smiles and cheerfulness, excellent manners and their only aim was to accommodate our every need. There are few words that express our level of satisfaction. To a guest, the wedding arrangements and catering for it were faultless. I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes but to the guest it was perfect. The wedding breakfast was excellent (as was the dinner on the Friday evening in Clarkes) and when the wine was being poured for the first time your staff offered a soft drink to my Husband who does not drink alcohol, without being asked. This sort of thing makes so much difference. Our room was spotlessly clean and tidy and in this unpredictable weather, it was nice to find an extra blanket without having to ask. I will have no doubt whatsoever about recommending Glen-Yr-Afon to our friends. If we are in Wales again we know exactly where we will be staying. We were recently at a 3 star hotel in Cornwall so had something to compare with and the Glen-Yr-Afon beats them hands down. No competition whatsoever. We will be letting the AA know of our delight in staying at your hotel and the level of service you offer. We have also made Rachel and Nick aware of our intentions to do so.Please pass our thanks on to all staff who were on duty over this weekend for making our stay such a memorable one and if there is anyone who you may wish to forward this mail on to, please do so. With kind regards Christine and Gary Swain". (6th October 2008)

So many people who were guests have said that it was the best wedding they'd been to, and thought that the staff were so friendly. They especially liked the food (this was commented on by connoisseurs and the more fussy!) and many said that it was the nicest they had tasted. Some of my family are planning their next visit to the hotel, and we will definately be back for a visit! I am so glad that we chose the Glen-Yr-Afon, and grateful to my dad for introducing us to it! We cannot express how wonderful the day was; the rooms, food, staff, and venue were fantastic! A big "thank you" to Dave, who everyone loved (especially Nicholas!) he was a star.
