Stayed here for one night after attending a football match. What an absolute little gem of a place! The host is super nice, even accommodated an early check-in for us so we could put our things in the room before the match. The room was lovely, so comfy, clean, and nicely decorated. We chose to have breakfast the following day, and I'm so glad we did. It was the best breakfast I've had in a while. I had a veggie breakfast, and my hubby had the full English. The Kenley is just a really lovely place, we lost at the football, but won in choosing the perfect accommodation! Great value for money as well.

Just one night, nice hotel, friendly and accommodating owner. Nice single room, living room and lovely dining area and breakfast too. Because of the very hot and humid weather, my single bedroom was hot in the day but needn't have worried as I slept well once temperature had dropped in the evening and with the window open. I'd fully recommend this hotel and were accommodating and bike friendly after I'd done a charity bike ride to Blackpool yesterday. Nice experience and I'd use again in the future. Lovely owner and hotel.

Fantastic guesthouse. Josie is so nice to deal with and keeps the place in top condition. The rooms were beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The location is excellent and I can't recommend The Kenley enough. I will stay here in the future for sure.

Had a very good night at The Kenley, the host was able to book us in at a very reasonable price last minute, everything was clean and the shower had good pressure and hot water. Reason for 4 stars is because the heating was off at night which ment it was very cold throughout the night, however the duvet was warm so wasn't too bad. Constructive criticism. The door for the bathroom has split due to being hung incorrectly so the hinge is starting to fall off. I can fix that for you if you want if the owner wants to get it touch. Cheers for a good night. Thanks

Lovely hotel with nine rooms to stay in. When we arrived I was worried. But then we pulled up about 9 in the morning and there was free parking on the street. I was shocked by this for Blackpool. We had booked a room with super king bed and on suite. Room 9 very top floor. Room was brilliant and clean and everything you needed. Lovely bed, tv on the wall, clean bathroom with big shower. Was very happy with everything overall. Will defiantly stay here again. 10/10 from me. Thank you to all the staff and manager for making are stay so easy after a long drive.
