Best food for you and family
Beautiful surroundings, great food and ambience.
We just visited for a meal so cannot comment on the rooms. A lovely location with a traditional pub feel inside. Friendly staff and the food is good and wholesome.

Great place, very welcoming, good choice of beer (2 different cask ales on draught), food well made, delicious (check the daily specials board), generous but not ridiculous portions, very nice desserts. Staff really accommodating, professional and a good laugh

My wife Moira and I would like to thank Maria and team at the Kingarth Hotel for making us feel so welcome when we had an overnight stay recently. The room was warm and comfortable, evening meal was delicious and breakfast was laid back with lots of choice and excellent service!
Well Done, from the Kingarth Friday Night Drinking Club, Cheers 🍺 🍷 🍻🥃
Well done and deserved.
