The Kenbury B&B Shanklin
Your home away from home.
It is with mixed emotions that The Kenbury will be changing the way it works going forward
and will not be open to normal bookings.
Due to health challenges within the family and the increasing financial pressures caused by rising energy costs and general high inflation we have taken the difficult decision to only open for key events or anyone who wishes to book a minimum of five rooms for a minimum of three nights. If you wish to enquire about a booking, please call or email us.
