Abbington Green Bed & Breakfast Inn

My family stayed here (using all five rooms in the main house) for four nights between Christmas and New Years. Hosts and staff are helpful and not intrusive. Breakfast is creative and delicious. The rooms are outfitted with every comfort. Highly recommended!

A truly phenomenal stay! Nick and his staff go the extra mile to make you feel at home here. The attention to detail is immaculate from the ridiculously delicious breakfasts every day to the bedding to the lip balm for every guest. AND he caters to every food need you can imagine (I’m gluten and dairy free… trust me, not many people get this right and Nick did with flying colors). The porches are a delight. The neighborhood wonderful. Great area to take a stroll and easy to walk to downtown for those so inclined. I really look forward to an opportunity to stay at Abbington Green again.

It’s rare to have the good fortune to be in the company of someone who loves their work. My stay at Abbington Green was just such good fortune.
Nick loves what he does and it is reflected in every aspect of Abbington Green.
Breakfast each day was perfection. The staff took care of all of our different diets and tastes with ease and grace. Wonderful!
Our suite was furnished with great care, thought, attention to detail and consideration for the guests.
I felt as though I was being individually cared for in a B&B that had around twenty people staying there at the same time. That’s not easy to do, but they did it.
I look forward to someday visiting their wonderful establishment again.

The Abbington Green is located in historic Montford which is walkable distance of downtown Asheville. Upon arrival, Nick had a welcoming gift for us since we were on our honeymoon. The chocolate was wonderful but the thought behind it made us feel special. The room, bathroom and common areas were decorated very well. In fact each breakfast had a different table setting and they all were first class. The breakfast for the 3 mornings we had were very good. He knew who had what preference or food allergy so he was prepared for having an alternative if necessary. Nick and staff knew the local restaurants to help guide you thru the plethora of restaurants in Asheville. Oh, when you stay at Abbington Green, make sure you are there for happy hour with the wine and cheese selections plus an extra appetizer Nick has made.
All in all, I would go back in an instant and of course recommend Abbington Green to everyone.

Superb breakfast. Owners are very personable. Rooms are very spacious. Very friendly environment. They serve complementary wine and cheese at 5 PM. Also they make fresh baked cookies that are available in the evening. You will leave thinking about the incredible breakfast
they serve and wanting to return.

I chose the Abbington because it was advertised as «pet friendly» The home was lovely and Valerie was very proud of all that she had accomplished and the finished product. It was obviously furnished and decorated with much care. Some of the other guests were clearly enamored by some of the original parts of the home that had been preserved as well as the details of the renovations. I have never stayed in a B&B so my expectations might have been unrealistic but for close to $ 290night I was disappointed. We arrived 1.5 hours early but Valerie was lovely and allowed us to check in. She spent a few minutes running through a map of Asheville with us, never stopping to ask what our interests were or what we were hoping to do or see. There was no offer of water or refreshments other than the dish of m&m’s on the table. We stayed in the Hyde Suite, one of 2 suites advertised as pet friendly. However, I did not find anything pet friendly about it — no treats, bed, water dish, etc. I am glad we thought enough to bring our own «poop» bags with us. The bedroom was quite small and I had to live out of my suitcase as there was only a nighttable available and no place to put my clothes. There was hardly any room to even turn around each other. There was a little frig with only cream in it — again no water or other refreshments available. We are early risers so waiting until 9 for breakfast was not our cup of tea as we would have preferred getting an earlier start. However, I knew that ahead of time because when I asked Valerie about it she said it was not flexible but could I not have had the choice of having cold cereal and a banana? As I said I have never been to a B&B and I can only imagine what it must be like trying to meet the needs of 12 guests. I know I could never do it but if I am paying close to $ 300/​night, I think expecting bottled water is not that unreasonable.

We just got back from our first visit to Asheville and stayed 3 nights with Valerie at Abbington Green. It was a great experience. The accommodations were impeccable. We stayed in the Grosvenor Square suite which is in the converted Coach House. Once inside the suite there is no resemblance to the former coach house. Valerie’s attention to detail is evident in the quality linens, beautiful decoration, excellent facilities (whirlpool, coffee maker, towel warmer, flat panel tv, etc.).
The breakfast each morning was a real treat. Susan and I especially liked the confetti eggs on the firs morning. Yum! But the best part of the breakfast was the conversation with the other guests. We really enjoyed the couple from San Francisco and the family from Virginia. It really was one of the highlights of the stay.
We can highly recommend Abbington Green for anyone planning a stay in Asheville.
