A lovely family run hotel

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Kenbury, hotel seems almost too cold a word for this warm and friendly place. A good size room, clean and comfortable. The staff are extremely friendly, and the breakfast is top notch. Overall a very relaxed and peaceful stay. Ideal for connection to rail and bus links as well.

I enjoyed my stay at The Kenbury. It's close to the train station and the bus stop is close by. Nice property, lovely staff, comfy firm bed and a nice breakfast selection. Loved having a mini fridge in my room with fresh milk and water, but only quibble is that the fridge is a bit noisy. I would recommend The Kenbury to anyone wanting a nice and cosy place to stay in Shanklin

Great B&B

Very nice B&B and Paolo was great. Good breakfast, comfortable bed and kept very clean. A short walk to the Esplanade or into town. Only downside is parking, there was enough when we were there (even with the typical Mercedes driver taking 2 spaces!) but inconsiderate neighbours parked (or dumped!) their old vans outside making it tricky to get in and out. Would definitely go again and recommend.

Cracking Guesthouse..You Wont Be Disappointed

A great guesthouse which is better than many 4star hotels. Staying in a Superior Room it was a good size, lovely and clean and with great extras such as separate "Dressing Room", fridge, fresh milk, complimentary water, pod coffee machine, slippers and towelling gowns.The usual tea & coffee facilities also had a wide choice including hot chocolate and shortbread biscuits. Breakfast was delicious cooked to order with plenty of self serve toast, cereals, juices, yogurts etc. to compliment. Service was brilliant. I chose this guesthouse on its reviews and was not disappointed. An excellent 3 day break our thanks to hosts Paulo and Paul.

Perfect

We have an excellent stay. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and they would do anything to make our stay even more pleasant. We had room 2 which was clean and spacious and overlooked the garden. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The prior night we filled in a form for what cooked items we wanted and cold items were given out as a buffet at the time. There was hand sanitisers everywhere, including in the room, and we were even provided with a mask for trips out if we had forgotten our own. Nothing negative and we will be staying in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay. Helpfulness, cleanliness and attention to detail were the hallmarks of this well-run establishment. Details like face flannels and coat hooks were very much appreciated. The breakfast menu was very flexible; we could ask for any combination of what was available. This will be our first choice of places to stay on the Island.
