    I'm writing this from our room at Abigails and I can't say enough about this absolutely wonderful inn. From the moment you enter the lobby until you leave the staff go out of their way to make you feel so welcome. The rooms are beautiful and the area is perfect for just relaxing or for exploring downtown Victoria. You will not be disappointed

    We felt so lucky to have chosen Abigail's which was out of the hubbub of the tourist area of Victoria but only a 3 block walk to the harbor with all the sights. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the room was beautiful and the food was first class. If we are ever in Victoria again, we will definitely stay at Abigail's.

    I had stayed at Abigail's several times prior to booking for our wedding night and it has always exceeded expectations. We had the perfect castle wedding and for our entire stay at Abigails we were made to feel like royalty. It was the perfect play to end our perfect day! There is no better place to stay for your money in Victoria.

    Looking forward to my next visit

    Having stayed at Abigail's many times over the years for work and pleasure, I always look forward to returning. The personal touches (home baked cookies, gourmet breakfasts, in room fire places, goodie bags to go) I have yet to experience elsewhere, and the location is perfect for relaxation, but still close to the action of Victoria. Excellent choice for a getaway weekend on the island.
