    Kempt Tower

    We had a super couple of days celebrating an early 21st birthday. The property is stunning and the perfect escape. We had a bbq on the roof terrace, swam at sunset and had a super time. It’s in the perfect location. We chilled out with friends and family. Very well equipped and comfortable.

    We had an amazing weekend staying at Kempt Tower. On arrival, we were so happy with what we saw. From a really cosy seating area to great kitchen and dining facilities and amazing access to a beautiful view. Everything was immaculate and we couldn’t have wanted more. Thank you!

    Beautiful Tower

    We had a family girly weekend staycation. We had a great stay. The beds were comfortable however a few were squeaky. As it’s a communal space most people wore ear plugs and slept well. There is everything you need available. Watching the beautiful sunset on the roof terrace was stunning. A great place to stay! We would definitely like to return. The Tower has been done out to a lovely standard and a pretty luxurious stay.

    Family stay

    We had a lovely stay at the tower 6 adults and 6 children. Walks on the beach. Finding crabs and dodging the waves at high tide were the highlights. Short walk to the Watersplash for dinner. Unfortunately the weather was very windy so couldn’t use the outside space as much as we would have liked. Would recommend a stay at the tower we all had a great few days.
