Property information

The Kenbury has a comfortable, welcoming feel to it. It's a big old Victorian building, used to be a "gentleman's residence", but has been updated with all the modern amenities that guests expect, such as en-suite bathrooms, free WIFI, flat screen TVs, small fridges etc. It's set on a corner plot and has a small car park and garden and generally has a relaxing feel.

Neighbourhood information

Shanklin has, of course, got a great beach which is overlooked by cliffs providing fabulous views and walks. But the great thing about Shanklin is that there is also the "Old Village" and the local town, so it is much more than just the beach. The Old Village is full of thatched pubs, tea and gift shops and more local shops and restaurants can also be found in the town.
