My wife and I stopped at the Abbotsford for a night on our way to Isle of Skye. We found the room to be very comfortable and quiet and breakfast the next morning was wonderful. Our best memory, however, is how welcomed we felt and the friendliness and warmth of this family-run hotel. We highly recommend!

We hired the Leven Suite for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Thank you to James and his wonderful staff for making our celebratory dinner with family and friends such a lovely experience. From start to finish nothing was a bother. Food and service were excellent as always. See you soon for Dinner some time.❤️

Rooms are a bit dated but clean and tidy. No room fridge so take care if you’re bringing any food or drinks. Restaurant service was good with typical pub meals. Breakfast was well worth the £6.50. After 4 weeks in Scotland this was by far the best breakfast we’ve had. Very friendly staff and a great menu. Well worth it and highly recommended!

A great location for exploring the surrounding area. Booked for a family reunion and were all made to feel very welcome by all the staff. Booked multiple rooms with different requirements and the staff went above and beyond to help. …

Check-in staff was polite, but not very helpful. Advertises laundry but does not have the facilities they claim. After we mentioned this, they told us we can leave if we want (no compensation offered and NO MENTION of their intention to stop false advertising). Luckily Hotels.com DID compensate us 15% back on our booking for the loss of this amenity.This hotel is VERY hot and stuffy. The windows are very small and they have no air con. We stayed in September and were watching people leave in search of a hotel with better airflow.Our group recommends finding better accommodation nearby.

This is a really good Hotel, the staff are really friendly and welcoming. I stayed here for 1 night. I ate in the restaurant and a really good meal of Haggis, Neaps & Tatties. It was a bargain for the money I paid and I loved the Tunnock Tea cake in my room, a nice touch.
