Had a great weekend.Derek and Monique made us feel really welcome. From tea or coffee and cake on arrival to a choice of good things for breakfast, they couldn't have been more helpful. They made you feel as thought nothing was too much trouble, and suggested various places to visit during our stay and even organised a taxi for us... More

Just returned from a three night stay at Kester House to see relatives. Monique and Derek are such delightful people who make you so welcome. The house is so beautiful and the bedroom we had was very comfortable and the rest of the house is so unique. The choice of food for breakfast was excellent and the mini muffins Monique... More

Just returned from one night at Kester House over the Bank Holiday weekend. We were only booked to stay there whilst we went to a wedding. I'm actually sad that we didn't get to spend more time there! Derek and Monique are so lovely, it was a pleasure to meet them alone! I really can't speak highly enough of Kester... More

Kester House has been tastefully renovated by the owners, Derek and Monique, to provide superb accomodation. There are only 3 bedrooms,... More

Derek and Monique's warmth, hospitality and exceptional home cooking were superb. Their historic home has been upgraded most sympathetically and the quality of the furnishings and meticulous attention to detail made our stay very comfortable. This is a little gem in a very welcoming part of England. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you.
