This must be my 10th stay at the Kingswood and I love it. Very clean and comfortable. I had a room at the back and it overlooks the town roofs and hills and church, which is lovely. The staff are really friendly and my gluten-free diet poses no problem at all to them - good news for all you coeliacs... More

Me and my partner stayed for two nights in April in a sea view room without balcony. The hotel is well positioned in the town and right on the sea front and you can hear the sea as you go to sleep which is lovely. The room was quite small and the shower room was probably too small, but it... More

We stayed at the Kingswood & Devoran as a family party of 6 for Christmas 2011 from 23rd-27th December 2011. The hotel staff were fantastic in every respect & the food was brilliant. We run a successful family catering business & are better able to comment then most guests. The three sea view rooms which we occupied during our stay... More

We visited in March and right from the telephone booking, I found all of the staff to be so helpful, they were most polite and courteous throughout our stay, just couldn't do enough for us. The rooms and hotel were spotless, the location was great, overlooking the sea and just a few yards from the town. The food I have... More

I spent one night at The Devoran with my daughter and her husband - From the time we booked until we left we could not fault the Hotel, Service or Staff. In particular the Reception Staff were most helpful, even phoning me to say they had a Car Park vacancy. Thanks to all concerned, I hope to visit again in... More

This hotel is perfectly placed for a visit to thus octagenarian paradise. It's also quite a nice little British seaside hotel and the current owners are trying to put... More
