“Amazing breakfast, friendly B&B.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

Had a great stay here for a few nights, and enjoyed some of the best bacon and pork sausages I've ever had in the English breakfast! Very friendly and helpful staff. The room we stayed in was small, but we were warned of this in advance and given the option to switch to a larger room, so no complaints. Tea and coffee facilities in the room, great hot water system and water pressure, and free wifi. Close to Shanklin rail station and handy to buses and shops. Highly recommended!

“One of the best B&B's in UK we ever stayed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

We (a couple with 2 daughters, 19 and 12 years old) stayed in a family suite for 2 nights. Everything was just perfect: welcoming service, fresh milk and mineral water in the fridge, private parking, convenient location, and absolutely fantastic breakfasts (as in a 5* hotel).

“Great experience at the Kenbury, would recommend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My good experience started when I called to book a room for me and my husband. Sue was lovely, helpful and flexible. When we arrived the room was great, with modern and recent decoration with lovely fluffy towels and all the mod cons you expect. The breakfast in the morning was excellent with fantastic local sausages. The customer service extended to the morning waitress who was very good. The folks that run this establishment clearly enjoy what they do and care about their customers experience which really shows.
The only reason I didn't mark it excellent was because of the early morning plumbing noises in our room as everyone started to use the bathrooms. Common in many hotels/B&B's but I live in hope that one day someone will work out a way to stop it happening and waking me up before I am ready!
