We both really enjoyed our stop here. The house was beautiful both inside and out. The grounds were lovely - we did maybe a two mile circular walk, and it was pleasant and easy, with lovely views over the river. Also beautiful landscaping around the house and in the gardens The house itself was lovingly kept, with fact sheets in each room providing lots of details. A must if you are a Sir Walter Scott fan, but also quite enjoyable even if you are not!

Hello, It is always a pleasure to bring a group of people to a wonderful place like Abbotsford. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the property ( that's open to visitors) is very well kept. Everything in this most interesting place is nice and clean, that goes for the ladies rooms as well.

You don't get the feeling that you are visiting a museum - you are welcomed to a home. Sir Walter Scott's home and the time in which he lived comes alive.

Yours sincerely, Agneta Skoglund, CTM IATM Tour Manager
