The Abbotsford

Very nice all around experience

I originally picked this hotel as I was specifically looking for overnight work accommodation, with EV destination charging available. This site has two Tesla (software locked) chargers and one 'Electric Vehicle' charger (white labelled). Unfortunately on arrival the non-Tesla charger had a fault, even after Gary and I tried multiple times to get it started. Fortunately there is a ChargePlace Scotland rapid and dual 22kW post down in the town (10-15 min walk) so I was able to get charged up by 10pm. Lauren and Gary are going to get their electrician to see whether these can all be brought back on-line and software unlocked (like JW Lee Brewery has done down in the NW England). Have three chargers available would prevent any anxiety that the charger maybe broken, or in use upon arrival, as I need to fully charge before the morning to ensure hassle free motoring to my clients. The room was modern, comfortable and spacious with everything I could possibly need for an overnight stay. The evening meal was fantastic and amazing quality, and I only wish I was staying more than a single night. The breakfast was slightly disappointing for me personally, as I didn't enjoy the thin, water porridge - I personally like creamy jumbo oat porridge with milk. This information I passed onto Lauren in the morning. Gary & Lauren were amazing hosts, where nothing was too much trouble. They were so kind, friendly and helpful. I will be returning to Scotland in the near future, and if they can get the EV chargers working then I hope to use this as my Scottish base in the future, as I hate moving from hotel to hotel.

We’ve just arrived back home after a truly wonderful 2 nights stay B&B. Everything about our stay at the Abbotsford Lodge was outstanding and it couldn’t have been any more pleasurable than it was. From the moment we arrived, with the extremely warm welcome from the absolutely delightful owner Lauren to all the most attentive staff throughout our stay at both the Abbotsford Lodge and their other owned hotel the Crags Hotel. They have very spacious rooms with a very good standard of decor throughout to make you feel extremely comfortable and at home. The breakfast was first class and our evening meals at the Crags Hotel on the 2 nights were outstanding too with their Valentines Menu which was very simple, but exactly right and not over complicated. The owners have done an amazing job with the Abbotsford Lodge and I truly think that once the restaurant opens in March they will be a force to be reckoned with and a very popular place to book! I would very much recommend this hidden gem for a wee getaway, you most certainly won’t be disappointed. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay, we will most certainly be back again soon.

Hotel was lovely – room was clean and tidy. Very quiet and lots of parking. Staff were attentive and really helpful when needed. Will definitely be back.

great place to stay in Callander This property was super clean. The staff was very friendly. The food was excellent.

Great newly opened Hotel Last minute booking and delighted with this place . Refurbished and opened a month ago. Two front of house staff exceptional , but run off their feet ! Food magnificent .. Dinner was delicious . Hotel clean , fresh and attractively decorated . Few more staff would have helped flow , but this is problem across the industry …
