The Kingswood Devoran - East Devon

My wife has a dairy intolerance and the kitchen dealt with this very efficiently. Staff very helpful whilst not overbearing

Had dinner in this hotel as it was next door to and part of the group of hotels we were staying at. On the plus side the it looks better than ours at the Elizabeth Hotel and couldn't fault the staff who were really pleasant and professional and the service was prompt and efficient. However it was an average type of hotel food. We had the soup and chicken rillettes which were ok. The lamb main was a bit tough and just uninspiring with the pork being well cooked but a bit on the fatty side. It wasn't the cheapest meal but more than reasonable enough for a hotel restaurant. It had the feel of being just a bit boring and needed something more inspirational but I guess they know there clientele.

We stopped here for dinner because it smelled so wonderful when we walked by! The food did not disappoint; it was wonderful and tasted as good as it smelled! I was surprised to see all the poor reviews, because we really enjoyed our dinner and the service was good!

As a guest of a friend I have bin agonising over making a review but I have now come to the conclusion that I must share my experience. the hotel looks nice from the this is theexterior but when you enter it all goes downhill. trying 2 find a member of staff. well next time im taking Sherlock with me next time. the roast was probably cooked several days ago and not warmed up. plates cold food cold and lamb congealed. waiting staff had no idea of etiquette. just shoved plates on the table.this is my 3rd experience and will decline my lovely friends invites in future.

Stayed at this,hotel,several,times, food and service is excellent, well,recommend at any time very enjoyable
