Abingdon Manor is not a typical B&B. In fact, in 2001 AAA upgraded our designation from B&B to Country Inn in their tour book. Many business travelers shy away from B&Bs due to perceptions such as: (1) lack of privacy; (2) outdated facilities; (3) forced interaction with other guests at meals; (4) it’s a romantic place you’d only go with your spouse, etc. You’ll find that things are a lot different here and that as former corporate travelers we understand and meet your lodging requirements.

What we offer the business traveler:

1. Special weekday business rate. For Sunday through Thursday night single occupancy we offer 10% off each guest room with complimentary upgrade if available.

2. A flexible cancellation policy. As opposed to the normal 72 hours, business travelers can cancel up to 3pm of check-in date with no penalty.
