Our story

Old Abbey House has been an integral part of Abingdon’s story since the 18th-century, this Grade II listed building was once the residence of E. J. Trendell, Mayor of Abingdon. Overlooking the wonderfully maintained Abbey Gardens—once part of the historic Abingdon Abbey—the house remains deeply connected to the town’s rich heritage.

Today, Old Abbey House has been thoughtfully reimagined as a charming hotel with automated check-in. Home to 28 uniquely designed rooms and suites, the property offers accommodation that blends historic character with luxurious furnishings, modern amenities, and seamless technology.
