Abigail’s Bed & Breakfast Inn

We stayed here November 8, 2015. Out of season and a cold rainy night, so we had the B&B to ourselves. It was immaculate and very comfortable. Good bed. The breakfast was the best I’ve ever had. The first course was a cobbler-​like dish with stewed fruits, granola, and cream fraiche and a little fresh fruit. The second course were scrambled eggs with herbs, bacon, asparagus, tomatoes, and biscuits. The coffee was perfect. I would highly recommend.

a very nice place and a lovely stay for about $ 180 a night, including tax, etc. we had one of the smaller rooms — so determined by the available photos. it was a queen/​full size bedroom, with a short-​bathtub/​shower (good for shower, not really a bath) connected.
our room had a balcony facing the street. but it isn’t a place I would really hang out on. there’s a little too much noise from the busiest thoroughfare through Ashland. we had no trouble sleeping. the town gets quiet at night in this area. and it isn’t along a highway or a stretch of bars, just beside the main road into town.
the house is very lovely inside and out. it is well decorated. the breakfast gets an A+. the meal included a lovely quiche, juice, muffin, fruit — enough to make one go without hunger for half a day perhaps. I enjoyed visiting with the other visitors at the breakfast (which is included in the price, as it is with B&B’s).
Abigails is is about 5 blocks from the Ashland’s highlight, the theater stages. the owner suggested walking there, but after a long day of window shopping we weren’t up for another walk. the theater in this town is top notch and many people visiting plan to see 2 to 3 shows over a long weekend.
Ashland is certainly safe enough in the area of Abigail’s to consider a walkto the theater — and if your legs are fresh, you can access much of the rest of town without any problem from the B&B’s location.
a drawback to our stay was the curtness of the greeting we received. we were asked our last name only. not a hello, or a how are you — but just «last name.» this was awkward to say the least. but, the owner warmed up to us after she was assured we had a reservation at the right place.
this quaint place is about the right price given the area and the amenities. I was happy with our stay. I can forgive small details when the overall is positive.

This place has been a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The owners are warm and helpful and amazing cooks. The rooms are charming each with their own baths. The beds very comfortable and each morning we were treated to a terrific breakfast — even for the dairy free– gluten free– egg free members of our party. The fee is so reasonable and location is great. About three blocks from the Oregon Shakespeare festival– just a long enough walk to burn off the fresh homemade cookies available anytime– or at least until they run out. :) there is a private parking for your car!

Possibly the nicest B&B I have stayed at and I have been in plenty. The food, the décor, the gardens and the quiet were just what I wanted. The owners are generous and friendly.

First of all, the name is no longer the Hersey House. The new owners took over within the last six months or so and it’s been renamed Abigals since January. However, the recent change in ownership did not detract from the inn.
I guess we all use different systems in which to rate things, but in some cases I like to start out giving a business 5 stars and then subtract as they provide evidence that lessens the experience. In this particular case, I could not find a single detractor. This is perhaps the 5^th or 6^th B&B I’ve stayed in in my life. I’ve been to ones In Virginia, the French Quarter of New Orleans, parts of New England and now Oregon and this one was perhaps the best yet. It was perfect in its location, décor, amenities, and level of comfort.
As for the location, it is on the main road, which is only a negative if you plan to spend a lot of time on the beautiful front porch. Otherwise, the Victorian style house sits on a conner lot situated a short distance from the main highway exit (if you’re coming from Medford) and a 5 – 7 min walk from downtown.
The grounds and house itself are perfect. Everything inside is in perfect working order despite the age of the house. Great attention is given to every detail.

This has become our favorite place to stay in Ashland. It’s within easy walking distance of downtown, the rooms are comfortable, the breakfasts are very good, and, most of all, there is no pretense, just genuine comfort and freindliness. This is what a B&B should be,

My very first stay at a bed and breakfast and I was not disappointed. After a long drive down from Portland, we were immediately greeted as we arrived and given the tour. It was a hot day, so the air conditioning and complementary waters and soda were well received. We opted to pop open a bottle of wine and relax on the front porch before heading into town for dinner and a play. A perfect evening followed by a delicious home-​made quiche for breakfast the next morning. I highly recommend this place, and look for a new name in 2012 as the new owners will be changing the name to Abigail’s Bed & Breakfast Inn.

What a wonderfut bed and breakfast!
Just got back from the first of what, I am now sure, will be my many stays at Hersey House. It’s heaven.
Some practical tidbits: It’s about a 10 minute walk to the theatres, if you’re in Ashland to see plays, there are rooms for two or three people, and one cottage for a larger group or family. It’s a little less expensive than most of the other bed and breakfasts in the area, and is really not much further to the theatres.
Some details that make it 5-​stars:
*The breakfast. When do you ever have a multi-​course breakfast?! The breakfast was spectacular — we would have paid at least $ 20 each to have it in a restaurant. It changes daily, but today it was freshly baked cinnamon scones and coffee/​tea, followed by a chilled chai latte with chocolate and bananas, follwed by an herbed egg dish served with cajun-​spiced potatoes and chicken apple sausage.
*Lorraine — the proprietor was so accomodating and welcoming! She communicated with me via email, and was so gracious. She let us check in early, with no hassles, and she was interested in getting to know guests, while allowing for privacy, too.
*Comfort. The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable. We were the only guests there (midweek and still not quite high season) so I got to see all of the rooms! The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms had great amenities for a B&B: tons of towels and washcloths, basic toiletries, and other little comforts like haridryers, q-​tips, and cotton pads. The room had reading lamps, coat pegs, a suitcase stand… the sorts of hotel details that can be missing in houses.
Hersey House also has the standard B&B common areas with a piano, games, books, etc. and a common dining table for breakfast.
I really can’t say enough great things about this place — definitely try booking a room here if you’llbe in Ashland.

Never a more friendly and warm best and breakfast. Ashland is a great town with great people but the stay at the Hersey House Inn made the experience so much more than any hotel/​motel. The level of service and the quality of food at the Hersey House makes Ashland a true destination and not only for the Shakespeare.

This B & B was a wonderful experience! Carolyn, the Innkeeper, was so nice and friendly. You couldn’t help feeling welcome and at home right off the bat. My husband and I stayed in the room titled, «As you like it» It was charming, clean and comfortable. Everything you would expect from a B & B. Breakfast was amazing! Carolyn made us berry smoothies, blueberry pancakes and there was fresh hot tea and coffee. Very delicious! The company was fun too, we ate with a nice couple from Hollywood, CA. Very fun, reasonably priced, we’ll definetly stay again!
