Day 5: breakfast at the Kennard

I think I've yet to properly review the hotel I'm staying in.  I suppose strictly speaking it's a B&B, and honestly I've been enjoying it so much that I might start choosing them more often. Though admittedly this one has 4 stars, and is the best reviewed place in Bath. 

Anyways, currently enjoying pre breakfast tea in my room, which is small but very well appointed. The bed is so comfy I wish I had tome to sleep in. A little tea station with cookies and spring water, a little flatscreen tv, robes, slippers, really everything that I would expect in a posh hotel except the fancy water is free. There's a sink in the room, but the shower is outside, though as far as I can tell I have it to myself. 

The building is one of a row of Georgian  homes, just accross the Pultney so a really short walk to the Abbry and some key attractions, and a walkable distance from the train station. There are little lounges on the landings, a lovely garden out back, and an absolutely gorgeous gold and teal and aqua breakfast room, where I'll be heading shortly. The breakfast is fab. There's a continental buffet, but then they make traditional English breakfasts, omeletter and such fresh to order. Ooo, and bring you yummy loose lead tea, espresso or your own little French press of coffee. And fresh orange juice, and the fruit salad is so good.

The best part of the place though is the staff, which i think must be the deciding factor in B&B's. Promptly gave me an orientation of the city when I arrived, and were always ready to help when needed. Most impressively - the lady at the front desk carried my suitcase up the stairs to my room.

Anyways, time to eat - see you in Exeter.
