Staying at St Benedict's is an exceptional experience. Astonishing period decoration takes you to a different era. Well located, excellent breakfast, the bathroom was period too (no shower in ours) - but worth the compromise. So much to look at and enjoy, magical, and a fascinating garden. A worthwhile mini-adventure.

Beautiful house, friendly hosts and fantastic breakfast. Very comfortable and quiet.

The house looked like a smaller exempel of Downton Abbey. It was great.

It was my second visit. This B&B has amazing decorations of antiques. It has beautiful garden, the owner welcome us with English tea and cake. Its a perfect experience of old British.

Fabulous Victorian B&B, decorated in original period style with amazing collections! Very comfortable and a wonderful place! Well-appointed rooms and beautiful garden! Superb location in the historic neighbourhood of St. Leonard's-on-Sea. Will definitely be back!

Just a one night stay, for a short visit.

Astonishing house, so much to look at. The whole place felt authentically Victorian, oozing character. We loved the open fire at breakfast. Breakfast was very special, the food and the various serving pieces. This definitely felt like time travel. Would highly recommend, especially to history enthusiasts. Friendly and efficient host too.

Lovely and totally unique

A unique experience, totally different from any other accommodation that I have ever stayed in. A lot of care and attention has gone into decorating of the rooms, with many curios and nick nacks.

The whole exprencing staying was amazing. Thank you.

Unique experience with fantastic Victorian interior

The staff are very friendly and they accommodated my need , thank you

We were greeted by Paul, who showed us the house and our room and then welcomed us with a pot of tea and cake which he served in the lounge. It is such a unique property with so many fascinating pieces of art, ornaments and furniture. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this B&B

This is a nice place full of old world charm and very different. It is well located for Hastings (10 min drive) and walkable to St Leonards (steep hill up from the beach). Breakfast was very good. Areas where it could improve: 1. The welcome / check in from Paul was efficient but not friendly, nor whenever we saw him. His partner at breakfast next morning was much more cheerful 2. It was our anniversary and I had previously advised the hotel but no response or mention of this by the hotel nor effort to provide anything to acknowledge this 3. Our room was nice but no TV, en-suite toilet/shower and the bath also had no shower which was not ideal 4. There is no easy parking on site but on street parking is fine but perhaps mention this, pre booking Overall, nice enough but you should be aware of what you are getting before you book to make an informed decision (personal choice but I would not book a place without en-suite facilities)

Amazing place to stay. Atmospheric and one of a kind.

St Benedict’s needs to be seen to be believed! Absolutely fantastic place, you feel like you are staying in a Victorian dolls house (in a good way) Beautiful breakfast with quality sausage & bacon, served in meticulous surroundings by people who really care about what they do.

Without going into the fine detail (of which there is simply too much), this place is amazing ! Without doubt the most interesting place I think I have ever stayed in. Comfort, ameneties and breakfast second to none. Thank you

My boyfriend and I loved our stay and will be recommending to anyone who is thinking of a trip to St Leonard’s. The bnb is decorated beautifully - the level of attention to detail is superb all of which is curated outstandingly. The service was excellent and our host was super helpful with local information. Our room and all amenities provided were of an excellent standard which ensured that our stay was wonderful.

Very good would visit again. Most enjoyable stay. Unusual but very interesting.

Very comfortable warm place to stay, and an Antique treasure trove. Many thanks Paul and Steven
