Excellent Breakfast Experience

“The breakfast offered at The Kensington was simply excellent! I particularly enjoyed the cooked breakfast, with perfectly executed eggs and delicious avocado on toast. I also fondly remembered the mackerel from my previous visit, paired with sweet cherry tomatoes that were absolutely good. The breakfast room atmosphere, coupled with the attentive and friendly staff, made every morning enjoyable.” read full review
