The Kingsmead is comfortable and welcoming and unique. It is quiet, with a relaxing garden, great food and a fireplace that is perfect for reading at night. But what makes the place special is the staff. Each time I had a question, they were patient, always taking the time to go the extra mile. They directed me to the best markets, ordered a bag of coffee beans when I mentioned that I enjoy their coffee, drove to get a new bottle of sunblock that I had lost at the airport security. I have never received so much help at a hotel in my life. I can’t forget to mention the friendly head chef in the kitchen, Wilbert. He and his staff make the best food I have tasted on holiday. His chocolate lava cake is something one will never forget, the schnitzel was tender and juicy, his gravy is smooth, his “eggs over easy” for breakfast are made to perfection (no easy task), his homemade hot sauce is so good that I asked for the recipe and he kindly wrote it down. I don’t know how you find these great people, but it’s certainly appreciated and more than anyone could expect.
