Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Kingswood Hotel enjoys a superb location directly on the seafront, a stone's throw from shops and restaurants, making it easy to nip across to the beach or explore the town centre. Guests find the rooms spacious and well-equipped, with some offering magnificent views. Breakfast offers a good choice, though some guests have noted the bacon isn't always freshly cooked. For those needing accessibility, the apartment option is particularly appealing, though wheelchair users should confirm suitability with the hotel.
