We stayed here for a weekend & were not disappointed. John & Joy are a lovely couple, who are friendly & attentive & their breakfasts are just gorgeous! The rooms are very good & very clean. If you want a nice B & B, then you will love this one. More

Having read reviews on this B & B we were looking forward to getting there to see if it lived up to it's reputation and I have to say we were in no way disappointed. John & Joy are the loveliest people you could want to meet and nothing is ever too much trouble in order to accommodate and make... More

Just got back today from a four night stay at The Kensington. Don't quite know where to start as everything about it was great! Our room was lovely, very clean,comfortable and with a nice en-suite. A very nice touch were the cakes,bisuits and mints left in the room every day. The breakfasts were to die for, everything you could possibly... More

I stayed here with friends for a weekend, and had a great time. Joy and John were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was a reasonable size, nicely furnished and spotless. The breakfasts were of the highest quality and the home made biscuits and cakes in the room were a lively finishing touch. Highly recommended! More

Found the room to be of a very high standard and well presented.As for the breakfast well... More

Just stayed for one night at The Kensington, but this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We couldn't fault anything. We had a twin-bedded room which was beautifully decorated , with bedcovers matching the decor. The bathroom was a good size, spotlessly clean and had a large, modern easy-to-use shower. There were good complimentary toiletries and, very important, large white fluffy... More

We were given parking passes and could park literally right outside for free and were told we could keep them for the Sunday we... More

Great owners – the personal touch in place with a nothing to much trouble policy. Clearly health safety and hygiene are high on the owner’s agenda. Breakfast was of a good quality and made to order. I did not try the evening meal but wish I had. This establishment is a uplift from the average guest house and even offered... More
