    easy walks to parks and nearby attractions made it worthwhile

    I really loved the short stroll to St Mary's Church and the vibrant Market Gates Shopping Centre, which gave me a perfect mix of history and shopping during my stay. also, the staff were really super and breakfast was nice, making the experience enjoyable overall.

    room age

    Although the room showed signs of age and the shower had pressure issues, the friendly staff and tasty meals made up for it. Enjoyed the beautiful views and the hotel's convenient location. A good value at a budget price, but some updates are definitely needed.

    Couple’s retreat great for dog lovers

    We loved the vegetarian fry-up! The staff arranged a meal for our dog at breakfast too, they care. 👏

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but still acceptable given the value.

    great breakfast
    cozy atmosphere
    cramped bathroom

    I had a lovely time enjoying the great breakfast options and the cozy atmosphere while playing in the leisure room with my family. There was also easy access to the beach for some fun in the sun. The bathroom in our room was a bit cramped, but it didn't take away from our overall enjoyment. 😊

    comfortable stay
    helpful staff

    we had a lovely stay at kensington for three nights. the location was perfect, just outside the main town center, making it easy to explore. the breakfast was varied and pretty good, and the service from the staff was excellent. we appreciated that it was very clean, giving us peace of mind during our visit.

    Lovely Stay with Great Food!

    We stayed for two nights in a standard double room. The highlight was the excellent food served at the on-site restaurant—huge portions bursting with flavor. Joseph and the staff made our visit extra special with their warm hospitality. A great place for couples looking for a charming getaway!
