"What a Great Find"
What a fantastic guest house! My wife and I stayed at Kemp's for three nights in January 2009 and had the most fantastic stay. Kemp's is truly excellent and has recently been refurbished to a very tasteful and high standard. Our room was very clean, modern and spacious and the king sized bed very comfortable.

"Great for a wheelchair"
We chose Kemp's because it was described as wheelchair friendly and it truly lived up to its name. The staff were marvelously helpful and friendly and "hands-on management" was evident everywhere. Our room in the new building was spotlessly clean and very large, with plenty of space for maneuvering a wheelchair.

"Excellent Break, Food was fantastic"
My Partner and I stayed at Kemp's Country House for 2 nights and were extremely pleased with our stay. Kemp's has been recently reopened under new management. Everything was clean and smelt new. The bed we had was very spacious and extremely comfortable. We traveled around the coast which is not far. Ideal for heading to the seaside in the summer months. We could not fault the food we had, it was delicious.
