Abigail's Hotel

WHO OWNS ABIGAIL'S?

Abigail’s is privately owned by a local family.  The day to day operations are run by General Manager, Allison Fairhurst.

IS ABIGAIL A REAL PERSON?

No, Abigail is not a real person.  There are a few commonly accepted theories on how the hotel got its name: 1. The name Abigail is believed to mean “source of joy” (Biblically) 2. Also in the Bible, Abigail was a hostess known to be faithful and honourable  3. Words starting with “A” are located at the front of the phone book (i.e. the ‘marketing theory’)

We have a painting of our mythical Abigail hanging behind the front desk in our lobby.  

IS ABIGAIL"S HAUNTED?

Sadly, no. We appreciate this limits our ability to market ourselves to various niche markets throughout North America but we simply cannot claim that we’ve seen any ghosts or had anything unusual happen on our property that warrants the notion.  If anything, Abigail’s is haunted by the ghost of romance.  Although the answer to this question seems to depend on which staff member you ask!  

DOES ABIGAIL'S ALLOW CHILDREN?

We are an adult oriented, special occasion property whereby the majority of our guests come for romance, rest and relaxation.  As such, only children ages 16 and up are able to stay at the hotel.  

DO WE HAVE COOKING FACILITIES IN OUR GUEST ROOMS?

No.  We’ve never aspired to cook while on vacation, nor would we expect our guests to.

WHERE DO WE GET OUR SHEETS?

It’s a question we receive daily from guests, after a blissful night’s sleep in one of our luxurious beds. We order our sheets from Comphy Co, eco-friendly micro-fiber bedding with the look and feel of 600 count cotton, but dry quickly, do not require ironing and are guaranteed against staining for 300 washes. A little slice of heaven!   Available for purchase in our Gift Shop or order directly from their website, they come in all sizes and a variety of colours.  https://www.comphy.com/
