Built around 1850 by the Johnstone family, sugar planters from Jamaica, the Kingswood remained a privately-owned residence till around 1930. In 1986 the hotel was purchased by Rankin and Kathryn Bell who have privately controlled it ever since. The Kingswood was sympathetically stretched in 1990 to comprise the Alexander Suite and Conservatory. Further extensions and main alterations were completed in 2003/2004, doubling the size of the restaurant, Alexander Suite, reception and hall region. From the grounds of the Kingswood you are able to see the monument commemorating the spot where Alexander III, the last Celtic King of Scotland, fell from his horse to his death.

All the hotel's bedrooms are personally embellished, with conventional furniture and accessories. The sheltered first floor verandah allows all dwellers the chance to enjoy the excellent vistas. A ground floor bedroom good for disabled visitors is accessible.
