This is everything I would expect of a Lankland B&B. Comfortable, relaxed and with high standards and attention to detail. Warm and friendly atmosphere and owners very helpful. Breakfast was very enjoyable with a good choice and of a high quality. It is well placed and has parking. Highly recommended and we will be going back with out a doubt.

This excellent B&B is run by David and Christine Tams as a much cared for family home and it shows. You immediately feel at home and at your ease. The rooms are beautifully furnished and your hosts are attentive and fun to be amongst. Christine's breakfasts are to die for, using the best produce cooked with skill and love. This... More

I’m loath to review Kingswood, because it’s likely to make it even harder for us to get back in there. We’ve been calling in there over the past eight years, probably nearly twenty times now, from 2 days to a full week. Kingswood continues to garner awards for its rooms, hospitality, breakfast and gardens. Our view – that it’s always... More

Everything and more that you would want from a bed and breakfast. Well appointed rooms, delicious breakfasts. Welcoming hosts. Basically 10 out of 10.

We did not inform the owners when we were arriving but they had kindly left a key, so we could get in and unpack. The bedroom was lovely and airy, clean and a nice view. The bathroom had little extras of, shampoo, shower gel, hand creams...None of that cheap small bottles you get in generic hotels. There was a lovely... More

WELCOME: Stony-faced host did not offer welcome cup of tea as at many B&Bs. Instaed he informed us of a number of 'do-nots'. From the start we were made to feel like schoolkids who had been misbehaving. Not nice for a pensioner. ROOM: Heating was switched off at 10.30 despite -5c temperture outside. Uncormfortably chilly room Could not make the... More

This review is a complete fiction apart from one bit. When you arrive and I say " is there anything you need now " or " if you want anything just ask " That's when you ask for tea if you'd like some. We live in the house ourselves and we weren't cold, nobody else complained of cold. Did the... More

We had a fantastic stay at the Kingswood Bee & Bee. We were made to feel very relaxed & welcomed. Our room was luxurious and very clean & comfortable. We loved the attention to detail and all the homely touches especially the bee theme throughout their lovely home. We found Christine & David to be very warm, friendly and humorous... More

Had tried to book a few times but could never get in, and now we know why. A great couple and a great place to stay, so much so that you can't get in for their regular returners. Lots of lovely little touches and the cake mmmmm. I hope we can join the returners
