I stayed at Kenilworth Guest House for the first time in 2003 with my sister and stayed again in 2008 with my husband and then again recently with my husband and daughter in the family room and it's always wonderful. The hosts Chris and Christine are very helpful and have a wealth of local knowledge - they recommended a lovely... More

The location of the guest house is very good. quite yet very convenient to the village centre. Host was very nice and helpful. I especially enjoyed the breakfast - freshly made and excellent in both quality and quantity. :)) The service I received was no less than a 4 star hotel!

I spent five weeks travelling around the UK staying mainly in B&Bs and serviced apartment, so experienced a pretty good range of accommodation. Kenilworth House was a really lovely place to stay. Very clean and bright, roomy rooms, great bathroom with good shower, lovely tea trays with decaffeinated tea selections, comfortable beds. Good location and quiet. Breakfasts were delicious and...

Very clean, tidy room, authentic and nice British breakfast. Hospitable host gave me weather information when I had my breakfast everyday and a lot of suggestions about where to go and what to see. All in all, a great experience!

Our family of four stayed for a quick tour of the Lake District before heading up to the Highlands. Chris and Christine were fantastic hosts and went out of their way to assist us. Thanks to their advice, we enjoyed a wonderful hike, boat ride and nice dinner in town. The rooms were neat and clean and the breakfast was... More

We stayed over the Easter weekend and it was a real treat staying here. The room was lovely, nice decor, lots of space and really warm. Chris and Christine were really welcoming, and due to us staying on Easter sunday had made it special by putting a creme egg out for everyone at breakfast which was a nice touch. We... More

Excellent B+B. Owners are fantastic, very enthusiastic. Twin room was immaculate and we appreciated all the home comforts that were provided. Nice breakfasts and an excellent sitting room with books, maps and desk. Easy walk to the shops, restaurants and attractions. The street parking can get a bit busy but we had no troubles.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kenilworth guest house. Chris and Chris were wonderful hosts and very welcoming with plenty of good tips on where to go in the local area. Tarn Hows should definitely not be missed! The breakfasts were great with plenty of choice and the rooms were well sized, clean and comfortable.
