I have to give this hotel a 5 star as it is an amazing hotel the was one bad issue which can not be the fault of the hotel as it was only an events doorman by the name of Brian I believe that was nasty and abusive but the hotel was an amazing lovely hotel and literally every other member of staff including the manager was really nice I’d highly recommend this hotel and will hopefully be back again some day

Warning DO NOT STAY at Abbey Hotel for New Year
Complete disaster totally unorganized heating in room didn't work no hot water stains on floor and seats in the room. New Year's Eve was horrendous total mayhem, they brought coaches of outsiders into hotel without notifying the clients they took over the hotel. Residents could not get accesd to bar or toilets, the room were the show was in totally over crowded, a complete safety hazzard. Residents had no choice but to leave the show and go back to their rooms, the young people they let in totally took over every part of the hotel. Running up and down the corridors banging on the doors. Brought food and alcohol into hotel and management were nowhere to be seen, infact some young one's still sitting in the reception area drunk from night before not even booked in the Hotel. I expect a refund for the night of 31st December it was our Wedding Anniversary, totally ruined we will not ever stay at this Hotel for the New Year EVER again.
