A friend suggested Abbotsford and there I was earlier this week. It's a gem of a place quite unlike anything you will find in Nainital. A 130 year old heritage home stay with great rooms, excellent service and awesome food. The rooms and lobby all take you back in time... The personal care of the cook, the manager - Mrs... More

This was a last minute planned trip and am so glad we did it and stayed at Abbotsford. Everything about the place is magical. The grandeur of the house makes you feel colonial. The view will not only take your breath away but fill you with life esp if you're having lunch or breakfast outside at the cafe chica which... More

We had a marvellous time at Abbotsford. It's a big historic house set above most of the houses in the town and therefore very peaceful. Above it towers China Peak - the view of the himalayas from here is panoramic and you can actually see China! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, beautifully decorated, the food was delicious - and... More

This 130 year English manor house is located ideally away from the center of town yet its only a short drive away incase you need to get to the market or the mall with its shops... More

This story goes back a few years to the Summer of 2006, my mother and I were visiting family and friends in Nainital. This was a special time as I live overseas, far from everyone and seldom get to spend quality time with my family. That summer we heard of this magnificent property in Nainital and were curious to see... More

Forget staying in big, international hotels, places like Abbotsford are the way to go!! You are not treated like another anonymous face but welcomed like a special friend. Even before you go, the hotel is in touch to find out if you have any special needs or preferences for example, meal preferences. They can also help with excursions and day... More

If one is looking for a home in the hills, Abbotsford is the place. Rich in history, warm classic wood interiors, lovingly done up rooms, and a kitchen / staff that takes care of you like they have known you for years (special thanks to Krishan Ji)! My husband and I spent a memorable, cozy few days here in January.... More
