We were both very happy with room, unfortunately was right at top of hotel, but didn't mind as we were out the way of buzy floors below. Good morning breakfast, staff very helpful. Bar and reception area good. Would stay again.

comfortable rooms and exceptional service

We were very impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the comfort in the rooms. Both the bedroom and the public rooms were very clean and well maintained. The breakfast and evening meals were superb and we did enjoy having a freshly cooked breakfast brought to our table rather than a buffet style self service where the food had been hanging around. The overall impression was of happy staff creating a pleasant atmosphere

Overall another lovely stay at The Kingswood. The lounge is lovely, the quiz a bonus and staff all delightful - special shoutout to Steve who is an asset all round. Lots of personal attention including remembering our son’s name. Breakfast is great quality and tasty with good choice. Room was a bit warm despite radiators being off and there’s no aircon. Windows do open but it can be noisy if you look out onto the car park. A rather noisy rattly fan started up each morning at 7 at the back of the property - I think the kitchen extractor. Didn’t bother us as we are up by then but if you like a lie in it was probably loud enough to wake you. The hotel couldn’t be more convenient for the seafront and town centre, with everywhere easily walkable from it. Free parking is available if you ask early enough.

The hotel was great in almost every way. However, fundamentally I expect good quality beds. I booked a family room for 3 adults, clearly stating that we would each need our own bed. Staff were helpful in making up a second pull out bed but the two pull out beds were extraordinarily uncomfortable, each with a ridge across the middle that gave me a sore back to sleep on. I'm guessing its mostly children that take these beds but that shouldn't mean they should tolerate them. Disappointing as I really needed a good night's sleep.
