'Always welcome' If you like your food you will love this place. So much is home made, from the biscuits or cake in the room to the home-made jam, marmalade,lemon curd, yoghurt, scones or fruit-bread in the morning. You will not be dissapointed with the Breakfasts they are magnificent, there is so much choice. This is a hotel in everything... More

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.

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!
