Excellent location for the cricket Clean & friendly
Great place to stay; like a nice home-from-home (but with amazing sea-views of beautiful Scarbados). Definitely recommend The Kenton and we booked to return whilst we were there. Free off-road parking to the rear and plenty of visitor-friendly facilities from a friendly and welcoming host. Thanks for a great stay.
Clean and tidy room with everything you need for your stay, beds were comfy. It's location is great with easy access to both north and south bays. Family fun and really friendly.
