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.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was delicious. Great shower. Room had a balcony with a superb sea view. Room very clean but was small. Would definitely come again.
I had an amazing three day Stay at the Kingswood! Beautiful Hotel, superb meals, good choices on the menu and beautifully cooked and very good portions. The Hotel has excellent and kind, caring and very efficient staff who all went above and beyond to make my stay excellent. I loved my stay so much and I shall definitely be returning.

Very clean and service excellent. Booked a standard double room, this was quite small and the shower very tiny, anyone of large build would not get in it.
No other complaints.
I had a rear room with no outlook and a frosted window (but I knew this ) but it was a bit noisy as the extractor for the kitchen started up quite early in the morning.
Excellent breakfast and dinner choices and the drinks were reasonably priced but I was rather surprised to pay £4 for a small glass of peanuts!! Next time I’ll bring my own!!
Welcome, staff, general ambiance, location all excellent, slight problem with lift, but hotel had just opened for the year, the day we arrived. Many people staying at the hotel, come every year and love the hotel, including somebody who lives in Sidmouth!
Kudos to Rajeen (reception) and Mirshad (restaurant) for being so kind and helpful throughout the stay, we felt very welcomed despite some of our unconventional requests!
We loved to sleep with sound of the waves behind our window, the whole place manages to be quiet but lively at the same time
