“No Complaints”

Kingsmills Hotel

Apr 13, 2008

I stayed at the Kingsmill for 3 nights earlier this week as I was on business in the area.
For personal travel I always reference possible hotel options against the posted Tripadvisor ratings before making a booking but on this occasion my hotel choice was limited to a shortlist provided by my company as they had pre-agreed preferential rates.
This hotel was formerly part of the Marriott chain so I was expecting reasonably high standards and I wasn't disappointed.

My room, (room 8 on the first floor) was large, clean and contained all the facilities I expected - (cable TV, safe, Internet access point, tea/coffee making facilities, iron and ironing board, hairdryer) and looked out over a quiet car park.
Free regional newspapers were also left outside your room each morning which was a nice touch.

I have read a number of other reviews but I ate breakfast 3 times, 2 meals in the main restaurant and 1 in the bar area and all the food I had was excellent - fresh ingredients, well cooked and presented. The prices were also what I would expect to pay in a 4 star hotel restaurant....i.e. £9.00 for a really excellent and filling fish and chips.

I didn't have a chance to check out any of the sports facilities but they were on offer and included within the room price.

All staff I met were friendly and efficient and it was clear to see they worked hard to maintain the hotel standards and keep the guests happy.

If I had to be critical I'd comment that some of the general areas of the hotel are a little passed their best in terms of design and wear and tear and a couple of the towels I had in my room, although all very clean, were reaching the end of their life as they were getting thin and somewhat ragged.

Overall though I have no complaints and would be happy to stay their again, although probably out of season like this time when it's nice and quiet.

“Lovely, spacious hotel”

Kingsmills Hotel

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
aberdeen, scotland
Apr 8, 2008

An absolute gem of a hotel! Huge spaceous rooms (if a little bit of a hike from the reception) with wonderful views.Clean hotel (though the maid was a little keen on trying to clean our room at 8.30 on a sat morning lol). Turned up for breakfast on the last day when they should be closing and we offered a seat withput any complaints (only time we ate at the restaurant was breakfast time)

One thing needing work though - the conceriege did not know the local area. We were needing directions to another hotel and he didnt even know how to pronounce it. I reckon some reading wouldn't go amis.

Will definately book this hotel again :)

“Great Hotel”

Kingsmills Hotel

Mar 25, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Family stayed at the hotel to celebrate a "Special" birthday. There were 6 adults and 4 kids in our party and we all had a fab time. The pool was great for the kids (perfect size & depth) so they could swim without having to watch them constantly.
Ate in the restaurant one night - great food, although no chicken on the menu! Kids meals were great value. Breakfast was fantastic, there was something for everyone from fruit to porridge and the whole traditional breakfast.
Rooms were very spacious and clean.
Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

“Poor food at the Kingsmills”

Kingsmills Hotel

Mar 9, 2008

I have stayed at this hotel many times in the past when it was owned by the Marriot Hotel chain. My main gripe with this Hotel on my recent trip is with the very poor standard of food during our evening meal. The Prawn Cocktail and Fish and Chips were the poorest meal I have had in many a long time. Yes I would stay in the Hotel again but I would prefer a supermarket sandwich than eat within. You have been warned..
