Abbotsford Hotel

The quality of the hotel is well above what we expected for the price paid.

Pros: Superb hotel in every way. The quality of the hotel is well above what we expected for the price paid.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Very friendly and welcoming. All the staff had pleasant personalities and were very engaging. The hotel has a certain sumptuous look about it which is reflected in the decor and the effort to theme the rooms. We dined both in the evening and morning. The food served was of a high quality and perfectly cooked, and not particularly expensive. It's a no- brainer eating here rather than traipsing around Ayr for something. A great deal of thought has gone into realising the owners vision of hospitality. They have succeeded in my estimation. We only stayed one night, but the welcome was such that we left with a tinge of regret. Would certainly use again.

Cons: Nothing. They have nailed it.

Unexpected luxurious room.

Pros: The bedroom was stunning with luxurious decor. Very comfortable bed. Staff were very friendly. The cooked breakfast was freshly cooked to order and was delicious. The lady who was on breakfast service was very cheery and couldn't do enough for us. Everything was spotless.

Cons: I want to say that the following points are not negatives, but are my suggestions and preferences. The room. Whilst I understand the reed diffusers are all part of the room ambience. The fragrance was strong, and not one I enjoyed. I ended up putting it in the wardrobe and bringing it back out before we left. The lighting in the room was very relaxing. However, it wasn't great for putting make-up on. It would have been great to have a brighter light by the window/dressing table and on the opposite side to the bathroom. A couple more plug sockets in the room would have been great. We unplugged the standard lamp( which I needed for make-up) and took turns with the iron, hairdryer, and straighteners using that one socket. Also, it would have been helpful to have a socket on the side of the bed nearest the door and by the big mirror. Breakfast. The choice of fresh juice was limited ( 2 if I remember plus water). It would have been helpful if they were labelled as it wasn't obvious from the colour what flavour they were. There was a limited choice of wee boxes of cereal. There were whole pieces of fruit and pots of yoghurt . However, it would have been nice to have some granola with fruit salad. The pastries seemed over baked. They were dry and hard and didn't seem fresh. I hate wasting food, but I couldn't eat it. It was the 3rd and 4th of January, so maybe there was a supply issue with it being over a holiday period.

Pros: Beautiful immaculate hotel, the rooms are beautifully decorated. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and can't do enough for you. The food was fantastic with plenty to choose from and the service was great. We will definitely be back.

Brought a little light into a dark day( following the passing of a relative)

Pros: Beautiful decor, good food and excellent friendly helpful staff

A fabulous stay

Pros: My bedroom was a dream....the wee lamb room Spotless, comfortable, and beautiful decor

Cons: There is only a small cosy bar - which is lovely - but it would be nice to have another few chairs or couches in the communal reception area for other guests. ....this is not a complaint just an observation

Pros: The food was absolutely delicious, dinner and breakfast. Staff where very polite and helpful, great atmosphere about the place and very peaceful.

Pros: Really friendly and accommodating staff. Went over and above: allowed early check-in so we could get ready for a wedding we were attending, and got us water when we got back that night. Rooms are very comfortable, great to have so much choice at breakfast (great veggie options).

Amazing…loved it & would highly recommend!!

Pros: Such a beautifully put together and stylish hotel. I was impressed by its decor, customer service, amazing restaurant, comfy bed, breakfast and mod-cons. Just amazing!! Will stay there again if I’m ever in Ayr.

Cons: N/A

Will definitely be back.

Pros: Beautiful inside and out. The attention to detail in the rooms made it feel expensive.

Cons: Nothing.
