Beautiful room. Spacious bright and spotless. All the staff are welcoming and professional. We were disappointed to find that the restaurant had closed at 6.30 on Sunday evening. The bar food was terrible. But it’s a comfortable place to sit and relax.

The Kingsley had a great location just on the edge of town which made it convenient to get in and out. Beautiful setting adjacent to the river. Very quiet and the staff was so very friendly. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom huge!
