21 Mature couple - 13/04/07	90%
Good Points: The good value, the excellent breakfasts. The helpful, friendly staff, the en suite bathroom, the surroundings.
Further Comments: For the price paid, we could not fault it. If it was dearer, perhaps a slightly bigger room, although the bathroom was excellent. There was always plenty of tea and coffee available. It was in a quiet residential area, which suited us and was well placed for visits to family and friends. It compared very favourably with one nearer the front, where relatives staying, stated it would be The Kenbury for them next year!

Good Points: Very clean & owners very pleasant and welcoming.
Bad Points: Bathroom facilities could be improved.
Further Comments: The hotel is quite well located and, although it looks a bit far from the centre on the map, we didn't find it a problem. It is very clean and well kept. The only down side was that the shower wasn't particularly good and the towels were small and thin but, for the price, we could live with that ! The owners were very pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was excellent.
