Going back to Kingsdown was a special time for me....I used to spend my summers with my grandparents and our family go back hundreds of years from both Ringwould and Kingsdown, so you can imagine I have some very fond memories. Choosing Gardeners Rest to stay was a pure find......nestled at the top of Kingsdown village, we approached a high walled drive way. Behind the wall was the most beautiful garden I have seen. Sandra and Ken were very welcoming and showed us to our rooms......awesome. The room was large with a sofa overlooking the views on the East side, where you can see the golf course and sea.......in addition there was a balcony to have your coffee on in the morning. The facilities were excellent, the power shower almost shot me out of the shower it was so powerful. The breakfast is to your own order and is also excellent, with fresh eggs from their own chickens and home made bread, there isn't a better way to start the day.
I would highly recommend Gardeners Rest, it is worth every penny and would say this is at the high end of a B&B, certainly the most impressive I've stayed in.
