What guests think

Across recent reviews, The Abbotsford is praised for friendly, welcoming staff, clean and comfortable rooms, excellent cooked breakfasts and dinners, ample on-site parking, and a quiet setting within easy walking distance of town and nearby Trossachs attractions.

Several reviews note recurring shower problems, including weak water pressure and unstable temperature, plus occasional small room issues such as dim or tight layouts, limited storage, or temperamental fixtures. Breakfast starts at 8:30 and morning service can be slow, which inconvenienced some early departures. Best for travellers seeking a relaxed, comfortable base in the area.

Delightful stay. Ideal location for the Trossachs. Easy to park. Lovely building, nicely set back from road, so quiet. All very clean. Excellent breakfast options (discounted rate for residents). Good value for money. Above all, staff were brilliant, courteous, helpful & efficient, made us feel most welcome. Thoroughly recommended, many thanks.

I found this hôtel outstanding in every respect. My only regret is that I was there for only one night and was going out for dinner - because they clearly have a good restaurant and a good bar, and breakfast was very good. Next time - and there will be a next time - I shall dine there too.

Really lovely place! The breakfast is à la carte with lots of amazingly good options, and there’s coffee and tea available all the time. The beds are super comfortable, everything is very clean, and it’s easy to access. The common areas are beautifully decorated and make the whole place feel cozy and welcoming. Parking available at the property and also Tesla charger for e-cars.

Beautiful old building with wide open staircases and entrance hall. Our deluxe suite was warm and cosy and a nice place to be. Its set far enough back from the road that theres no noise. We had breakfast both days (breakfast roll and full Scottish) and both both were fantastic but the New Years Eve meal was by far the winner, couldnt fault any of it. Staff were friendly and accomodating even when I had to move our dinner reservation slightly at the last minute. The hotel is far enough away from big towns to benefit some lovely views and drives nearby and even has a waterfall and walks right out the back, but not too far from towns that you are isolated. The only thing I could possibly fault was the shower. The water pressure was so poor it was just a trickle that barely tinsedthe soap off you. Whilst the temperature of the water was eother stone cold freezing or out of the kettle boiling with nothing in between no matter how minir the adjustment to the dial was. Whilst the shower was disappointing we wouldnt hesitate to stay again as overall we had a wonderful trip away.

Pros and cons: Pros. The staff were lovely, rooms clean and the food pretty good. Cons. Rock hard pillows, none of us got a good night's sleep because of them. Appalling bad water pressure to the shower. And I'd just rubbed shampoo into my hair and it went from stone cold to very, very hot several times before it finally settled warm enough for long enough for me to wash the shampoo out. Because of these 2 things none of us want to go there again.

Staff are wonderful - very helpful and friendly. Room 3, as a deluxe double, was very dark and small, especially the distance between toilet and shower unit which would not make sitting down possible for anyone above average height! The dinner was excellent. Breakfast was good but 8.30 is a very late start. Disappointing that porridge with fruit involved a teaspoonful of defrosted fruit at the height of Scottish berry season.

The hotel was lovely, good customer service and the room was a great size and well decorated. The bed was super comfortable but we had problems with a poor shower that didn't work properly for the 2 days we were there. The location is good and a 5 minute walk into the village centee Food in the restaurant was good, but breakfast took too long even though there went many tables.
