The response at check-in was very smooth and nice. The location is very convenient. The bed was comfortable. The quiet environment was good.

There are supermarkets and gas stations nearby, free parking, plenty of parking spaces, very convenient. Stirling Castle is very close, 10 minutes' drive. We arrived at Glasgow Airport early and arrived at the hotel at 11 o'clock, but we were not allowed to check in early, so we had to leave our luggage at the front desk first. We had been on a flight for more than ten hours and wanted to go to the hotel to take a good shower and take a nap before going out to play, but this hotel was unwilling to let us check in early.

The room is quite big, the surrounding environment is very good, the lawn is large and near the campus, and I saw red deer in the morning

This is a small boutique hotel classified as ‘rooms with restaurant’ and sited in a quiet conservation area that is probably one of the most affluent residential parts of Stirling. The hotel is constructed of local sandstone (in the Georgian style) and boasts large windows, high ceilings and other features you’d expect - clean, quiet, and comfortable. Rooms were warm, spacious and our sleep quality was excellent. In fact, all the staff couldn’t have been more helpful all the time we were there. Nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed lovely breakfasts as well as dinners in the attached restaurant. I liked the menu - where you could have a set meal at very reasonable prices if you wanted. Chef had prepared a very impressive lemon dessert designed for people with diabetes and I saw vegetarian and GF options listed as well. The wines were nicely selected too, and knowledgeable staff helped match with our courses very well. There were six parking spaces and behind the hotel and plenty of on street parking. Wi-Fi worked well for us in our rooms as well as the dining and drawing rooms downstairs. We did notice some dust at high level on the first day (I’m 189 cm in shoes so it’s easy for me to reach shower rails, door jambs and other dust traps), but this can be an issue with period houses and the team quickly fixed it. Our room was serviced daily and sparkling clean after that. Overall, the hotel offers a tranquil break in a superb location - convenient to the castle, golf course and other attractions along with great walks and views. Close to main shopping, cafes, and recommended local restaurants such as Hermann’s and The Indian Cottage. Well worth a stay and a meal if you are in the region!

I think the Trip advisor reviews have got mixed up between people reviewing the restaurant and the guest house/B&B experiences; our review is for a 3 night stay, which was part of our touring holiday of Scotland. On arrival we couldn't help but notice what seemed to be a Christmas decoration (with fir cones/snow/lights) surrounding the door. I do like the idea of using outdoor lights all year round but i did question the choice of decoration. I wouldn't want readers to think the Abbotsford is bad, as it isn't - but I would question its 4 star rating and price point. It felt to us more 3 star. Our room was ok, some of the furnishings were a bit mismatched - the bathroom quite small compared to other places we stayed on our trip. The beds were comfy and we slept well. Daily room servicing is only upon request, thats fine but it would have helped to have been told this when we checked in. Interesting too, that this was the only place we stayed on our trip (13 different accommodations) that asked to debit our card with the cost of our stay within 2 minutes of us crossing the threshold. Breakfast was ok - a nice selection of cooked choices (£5 extra)- although the continental choices were a bit sparse. There seem to be only one person on duty at breakfast front of house - doing everything, so there were a few waits whilst coffee was topped up, orders taken etc. The final morning of our stay there was no orange juice which is surely a breakfast staple. So in summary, not bad, but could be better for the star rating and the price charged.

I was a little worried after reading the reviews, but it was higher than expected after checking in. First choice, there are hundreds of years old houses nearby, very emotional, turn left 50 meters up is an old prison, 100 meters from the Internet is the church, and 200 meters away is the castle Secondly, the cleanliness of the room is also good, there is no peculiar smell. Then, in terms of facilities, there are swimming pools, hot spring pools, and saunas. The general level of breakfast is three stars, because no cheese is provided. Finally, the service is also good. When you check in, you can enter the license plate to guarantee two-day parking, and everything else has reached the four-star standard.

The location is perfect. On the half hillside, the castle is going up. Going down is the place where the commercial street eats. The hotel room is relatively spacious and relatively new. Parking is free. The female front desk on the day of the stay was very friendly and very welcoming. I also said that I saw the Chinese credit card for the first time and felt very good. However, breakfast, originally done very well, half buffet, half-meal, good quality, that is, the price was told at the time of check-in, if you add two people 15 pounds on the spot, I also confirmed it because I felt cheap. As a result, the check-out received 19.8 pounds. The gap is not big, but when the argument is different, the front desk of the next day does not confirm it, and it directly denies it. The perfect experience was deducted from the next day's female front desk.
