Introduction
The Kensington Bed and Breakfast in Scarborough is on the tree-lined Columbus Ravine and is a lovely Victorian terrace property. Although we aim to meet the needs of all of our guests, due to the nature of the property this can make access for guests with limited mobility sometimes difficult as we are located on a gentle hill.
The Kensington has two steps leading up to the entrance and bedrooms on 2 different levels, making them unsuitable for wheelchair users.
