We had a lovely greeting on arrival with hot drinks and choice of cake offered . Our rooms were ready before checkin time . Our room had one of the comfiest beds ive slept in , in ages . We had ample choice of hot drinks in our room along with 2 beautiful cup cakes . All bedding and towels were white and spotless . Central heating worked well , loads of hot water with a really good shower . Breakfast was ordered the day before , the menu choice was unbelievably good . The owners Debbie and Jason were faultless . From check in to check out they made us feel so welcome and comfortable. We were given recommendations on places to eat . Breakfast was cooked to perfection by Jason and served quickly by Debbie. Would absolutely recommend The Kensington and will definitely return in the near future . We travelled as a group of 3 couples . Stayed fri 4th /6th March 2022 Many many thanks Debbie and Jason for an amazing stay

Could not fault this marvellous place, starting with a very warm Yorkshire welcome with a cuppa, the well appointed room that was spotlessly clean and the bed was just so very comfortable (we were in room 5). Plenty of choice for breakfast, pre-ordered and hence served fresh and hot, lashings of tea/coffee and as much toast as we could eat! Overall I heartily commend Debbie & Jason for this establishment and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Debbie and Jason were really nice and welcoming, we were treated to a pot of tea and homemade cakes as soon as we arrived. They made us feel at home, were really knowledgeable about the area and gave excellent suggestions for activities. The breakfasts were amazing a wide variety to choose from, all beautifully cooked with excellent service. Debbie made sure we were well fed. The room was lovely and cosy, bed was very comfortable. The selection of teas was amazing and they were very nice, plus we had cake in our room too. It's located in a very good spot, only a short walk to the North bay and if you don't mind a slightly longer walk it's not far to the south bay either. All in all an excellent b&b and Debbie and Jason are fabulous, we will be staying again.

Yorkshire hospitality at its finest! On arrival we were greeted with the warmest of welcomes by Debbie and Jason. We were offered a pot of tea and freshly baked cakes, then given a comprehensive guide to all things Kensington Guest House and Scarborough (a helpful tourist pack up is also provided in all rooms). The facilities and location were excellent, with both North and South Bay only a 10-20min walk away. We felt thoroughly looked after and well fed, the breakfasts here are fit for a King and Queen! Would love to one day go back. Highly recommend!

Everything was fabulous.

Firstly, the warm welcome we received by the proprietors. They are nice, genuine, kind and friendly people.. In my experience I've never received such a wonderful reception from anywhere else. It quickly dawned on us that we had made the correct choice. Room was comfortable and warm with excellent amenities..kettle, coffee, tea, a tv, dvd's and a dressing table with chair. All with a spacious bathroom. Breakfast was fantastic..plentiful and delicious with amazing service. Location was fine for us..accessible to public transport and walking distance to the town itself.

We were made very welcome from the moment of arrival, Debbie served us tea and home made cake and Jason introduced himself, both made it clear they were there to help with any problems/questions. Our room was very comfortable and clean, and more cake in the room for us along with a large selection of tea/coffee, also fresh milk and bottled water in the fridge We stayed four nights, there was a notice in the shower room asking guests to reuse towels, which we did, they were replaced after two uses without being asked, which was nice. The breakfasts were excellent, and a selection that is sure to suit anyone! Perfect poached eggs every day ? A parking pass was provided which meant we didnโ€™t have to fear the parking wardens. The location is very good, a short walk to a couple of parks and North Bay.

We canโ€™t think of anything we didnโ€™t like, if we are back in Scarborough we would certainly return.

3rd attempt at review! Warm welcome, Debbie & Jason are fab hosts. Room had everything you could want from range of teas etc, home baked treats to a REAL fridge with chilled (real )milk & bottled water. Bi folding mirrored wardrobe doors near plug point- ideal for hairstyling! Windows open..perfect, bathroom sleek,modern,large shower, lovely white fluffy towels, lots of toiletries. Breakfast out of this world,lots of choice, fresh coffee... But you won't want to eat again all day. I've a good appetite but left plenty on my plate and still wasn't hungry all day / night. They are lovely people, fab hosts who really know the area, best places, walks etc. the furry book in bedroom is encyclopaedic, put together with the same care they treat their guests Garden so tranquil and pretty for a quiet read/ relax.

Leaving! Stairs a bit steep to top floor, felt it I'm my knees first time but it's ok...just flagging.
