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.

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

We will deffinitely recommend this to everyone we know visiting the area.
Pros:

This hotel totally exceeds any expectation we had, we went on to stay in a 5star resort which was nothing compared to Abbotford for professionalism and we returned to spend our final night at Abbotsford our experience was so good. Can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Cons:

Nothing- everything was perfect

We were at the hotel for a wedding and it was lovely laid out.
Pros:

The property itself was lovely.
The staff were pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

The room was nice, but quite small.
Only room for one chair.
Had to work from cases on the floor.
No drawers.
No actual wardrobe to hang clothes, there was only a cupboard in the bathroom or a hook on the back of the main door to hang outfits on.
No room in the bathroom to lay toiletries etc.
The pillows were high and solid. I resorted to sleeping with a bath towel inside a pillow slip.

Couldn’t recommend more.
Pros:

Staff were fantastic, especially the young girls at the front desk that checked us in and showed us to our room, and the rooms are nothing short of gorgeous. We were accommodated so well, definitely will be back!

Pros:

Breakfast was lovely as was the location near the beach. Coffee could be a little better but that is probably me being fussy. Service was lovely.

Cons:

The only thing which could have been improved was a long walk with heavy bags from the railway station. We rang the hotel from our train asking if there was a complimentary shuttle and were advised there were taxis outside the station. The exit we left from had no taxis and we didn’t see any en route. A phone number of a local firm would have been appreciated. This was arranged by the hotel for our return leg to the station and was very helpful and appreciated.

Had a great weekend.
Pros:

The location was perfect, plenty of parking and near the beach. There was also a large park and golf club nearby. Nice if you wanted a walk or jog. The accommodation food and staff were great.
