I recently stayed at the Kensington Bed and Breakfast for 5 days while attending a workshop in Richmond. It was wonderful! I stayed in the Carriage House, which is an adorable, comfortable little studio out back with a bathroom, kitchenette, cable TV and WiFi, and a little garden setting out front. I traveled alone, and Bill and Bertie made me... More

Bill and Bertie were very nice and very accommodating (we were on special diets and Bill was very understanding). We stayed in the "Carriage House" and had a little kitchenette as well. It was very comfortable (better than my bed at home!) and close to many great attractions and good restaurants. Many things are within walking distance and its a... More

This is a 'secret' B and B because its not on many of the websites and there is no sign out front...not sure why. Its a lovely elegant home in the historic 'Monument Street' area but on Kensington St - directly across the street from the Fine Arts and Virginia History Museums...you cant beat this location! We stayed in the... More

My fiance and I stayed in the Carriage House; we were able to enjoy privacy in our room, as well as communal wine and cheese in the evening. The hosts were friendly and helpful, providing us with entertainment and good recommendations without being overbearing. The B & B is in a great location and we were treated to a tasty... More

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Kensington. The French Suite was very pretty and included a separate bathroom and separate sitting room. My husband enjoyed reading in the sitting room before breakfast. The food was so nice. The couple gave us wine and cheese in the evening and a lovely french toast and fruit breakfast. The... More

I stayed in the Carriage House and could not have been more pleased. I love to stay in small B&Bs but sometimes feel like I have to tip-toe around. The carriage house was perfect. I felt at ease and could come and go without disturbing anyone. I highly recommend the Kensington.

My boyfriend and I spent a weekend in Richmond in May 2011. We originally booked at "The One B&B," but my boyfriend accidentally booked us for the wrong night so when we got there, they didn't have space for us. (Not the B&B's fault, but our own fault.) The owner of "The One" couldn't have been nicer in working to... More

Bertie & Bill are gracious hosts along with their assistant, Cari. We stayed in the carriage house where, though it was right off the street, we did not hear any cars go by overnight. The bed was delightfully comfortable & the linens superb. Breakfast was a wonderful spread of fruit, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns & bagels and more coffee than we... More
