“The staff makes the difference!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

I recently stayed at the Abbotsford Hotel for five days with a group of sixteen people and was very impressed with the staff and facilities.

The staff, particularly James and Karen, was always very accommodating and willing to help. James was very knowledgeable and had answers for all of our questions whether it was about local attractions or how to get somewhere. He even had the staff come in early one day so we could get a hot breakfast an hour earlier than they normally start serving. Karen and James were quick with a smile and Karen even let us check on our flights on her computer prior to our departure.

The facilities were immaculate and comfortable and they had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The restaurant had delicious food, in fact, we ate breakfast and dinner there (and lunch when we weren’t out visiting other cities) every day of our stay…it was so good (favorites include the peppered salmon, chicken carbonara and the toffee crunch pie). The pub was roomy and was a comfortable place to stay and have a drink and a conversation or watch football on one of several large flat screen televisions.

Again, I was impressed during our stay but if there was one thing that made it, it would be the staff. Thank you so much (especially James and Karen).

“Great hospitality, customized accomodations well appreciated!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

We had a medium sized group staying for the week and several times we asked for special accomodations (dining, social event, etc.) which were supported graciously and without hesitation. The family and staff running this place made us feel welcomed. The rooms were very comfortable and the meals were excellent. We have placed this location on our approval list for future stays.

Room Tip: All the rooms were similar and very comfortable

“Amazing service and accommodations!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

The accommodations and staff here at the abbots ford set the bar for international travel to Scotland. We had a large group with multiple requests ranging from room, food and drink requirements and James and his staff took care of everyone of them. If you travel to Scotland, abbots ford is a great place to stay! Thanks again to James and the abbots ford staff!

“Exellent family run hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011 via mobile

Have stayed at the abbotsford hotel a few times when passing by and have to say it's an extremely well run family hotel,what makes this an exellent place to stay is the staff who will go out there way to help and assist you and if you have stayed before they'll remember your face,also their menu is very varied with so many choices but the kitchen still manage to turn very tasty and good quality food.Would definitely stay here again.
