The rooms are spacious and come with a private bathroom. The breakfast offers great value for money. The staff is friendly and helpful – even a late check-in on very short notice was no problem at all. The hotel is close to the Loch Lomond National Park and a fifteen minutes walk from the train stationen Dumbarton East.

A bit unflexible with the breakfast - it takes quite some time as it's no buffet. We had a tour booked the other day and they did not manage to get us the brekafast on time - the lady wasn't really helpfull at all. Anyways as we did not get it on time we also did not have to pay for it.

Loved it! The staff were very helpful and courteous. A special mention for Shona on reception who was a great help The rooms were spotless and comfortable. The room had the usual hairdryer and a not so usual iron and ironing board. Breakfast was served, which was nice. I can recommend "The Stoater" Scottish breakfast, although there were other options available appealing to kids and those with other food tastes and dietary preferences. Yes, the decor is nineteen seventies, particularly in the restaurant, but for me, that was an added bonus. I loved it! .

No complaints at all.

We were travelling from London area to visit Scotland. We travelled by car taking the west coast of UK. We took a break at Lake District and this was the next location on our nine days return trip. Location was perfect for exploring Loch Lomond area and travelling further up to Highlands. The restaurant was very nice, good food and lovely staff. We are very happy with the service and really enjoyed our stay. We would love to stay there again.

Overall the rooms and carpets may be a bit old and feel outdated. The hotel may benefit from some upgrade.

The beds were super comfortable, staff were friendly and helpful and the walk in shower is lovely. The breakfast is good value and was delicious. We had Lorne sausage and potato scone baps which were very good. The room came with loads of coffee and tea and massive mugs to use for your breakfast drink. A very charming 1970s vibe to the whole.pace with wood panelling, warm tartan and keyed doors. Cute!

No WiFi, honestly there was a how to guide in the wallet in the desk drawer and the website it directs you too doesn't exist. Just no WiFi access at all in the room. Weird in 2025. The room was also a little cold being served by an ancient radiator but there were extra blankets available so this was a major issue.

The Breakfast was good and well cooked and the waitresses were friendly and efficient. The Room was comfortable and had tea and coffee available, the TV did work, but occasionally it seemed to select unwanted channels instead of the selected one. The Bathroom was clean and functional. The Hotel did have a retro appearance inside and out, but was well maintained .

The seating in the Bar area did have a very dated look and probably could do with a refit, although they were not actually damaged.

When I arrived after breakfast had just finished, the staff very kindly and without hesitation produced a full breakfast. The WiFi is good because even at the end of the corridor there was a good connection. Furthermore you only share the WiFi with three other rooms, so the speed is good. Although there were roadworks outside the hotel on the main road, the access road allowed you to avoid the holdup and travel without delay.

Less salt needed in the chicken soup and mince. Nothing else to complain about.

The value for money is excellent – a really low accommodation price for Scotland. Plenty of parking space. The room was fine and the bathroom was clean.

There was a smell of old cigarette smoke in the bathroom – maybe it’s just absorbed into the walls, hard to tell. The bed had a standard cover that was probably washed, but it looked like it had survived World War II, with stains, marks, and even some burn holes. We removed it since you don’t sleep under it anyway. The sheets underneath were perfectly clean and the bed itself was comfortable.

The experience was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and went above and beyond for me. I turned up around 4:30pm, and they were able to get me a restaurant reservation booked on what seemed to be quite a busy Friday (I think there was a function on). They even remembered me as I went to check out the next day which was a lovely touch. The room was warm and welcoming, with everything you need to have a pleasant night and you couldn't hear any noise from the road or the function room. Bathroom seemed newly fitted with a lovely walk-in shower. I stay away a lot for work, but this was the best night's sleep I have had in a while!

I can't really fault the Abbotsford Hotel though I will say I was initially put off booking as I thought it looked a little dated on the outside. Glad I took the punt as it was really lovely!

Very noticeably friendly and helpful staff from the beginning. The restaurant is lovely and the food is excellent! Very competitively priced too. Clean, with courteous staff, couldn't fault it. The rooms are clean, comfortable, quite a good size, and quiet. We will definitely be visiting again!

The 'bar-meal eating area' could have a few non-dining seats, because every one in there is for eating only so to sit and enjoy just a drink means having to sit in the actual bar where there are TV,s and rather 'loud' and quite pleasant chat (unnecessary swearing) going on from non-resident locals and visitors. I understand that the locals need to be catered for, but that part could easily be partitioned off. If it was my hotel, I'd do that! Oh, one other thing. Not good to see guests, lots of them, 'in pyjamas' at breakfast! It just isn't, shouldn't be, done!

We've stayed here before. It's a practical stopover, with adequate room & facilities. All practicalities efficiently dealt with, good reasonably priced food & easy ground floor access.

Inadequate sound proofing would be a problem for guests not wanting an early start to the day. We were woken before 7 am on both days by other guests flushing the toilet, talking in the corridor etc. No vegan options on the dinner menu.
