John
This property is unbelievably beautiful and comfortable. Easy on street parking and close to the sea front and good restaurants. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend staying and experiencing Victorian living at its best.
Andrea
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.
Stephen
Beautiful house, friendly hosts and fantastic breakfast. Very comfortable and quiet.
Seiko
Beautiful British House
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.
Sarah
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!

Time travel
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.

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

A unique place with character but room to improve
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)

Five star Victorian surroundings….
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.

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.

This was the most incredible B&B we have ever stayed at. The decor of the home is amazing; we felt like we were back in Victorian times. Every facet of the house is original, right down to the butter knives and salt/pepper shakers. Excellent breakfast and our hosts were kind and full of information. We were able to stay an extra night and felt right at home.
Catherine
Beautiful and full of character
What a beautiful old mansion. It is like stepping back in time
Dr F H
A Beautiful and Tasteful House
The house was a wonderfully evocative place. Each room looked absolutely wonderful. The various displays were really thought provoking and colourful. The breakfast each morning was superb. The reception and service were the best we have experienced for a very long time. This is a place well worth returning to over and over again.
Megan

Amazing, run by owners who care about lot about thier customers and are passionate about thier home.Possibly not for those who like slick modern accommodation.
Made to feel at home as a solo traveller, Every part of the house had a personal touch.

St Leonarnds alternative stay to the norm.
Really warm welcome from everyone here. This place can not make anything as so much effort made. We were given home baked cake & tea.
Strong religious theme which was not unpleasant. Large collection of religious Ikons.

A Victorian victory
I was extremely impressed by this quaint little B&B. The lady who works there (the lovely Kat) is warm and friendly and really makes you feel welcome. The breakfast was very good as was the room. Totally perfect in all areas!
Ian
A unique experience, excellent host.
This B&B is like nothing I've seen outside a museum – everything from the curtains to the wallpaper to the bathtub are Victorian. The owners have dedicated many years to making this an authentic Victorian experience (with a few 21st century comforts, of course). Paul, the host, was friendly and accommodating, even leaving us tea and cake on our arrival in the living room and a filling full English breakfast to set us for the the next day. If you're fans of this period, you will be in your element.
emma
Unique and great experience.
The house is amazing and a unique experience. The housekeeper Katherine who was the host for our stay was fabulous,friendly knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast and tea and cake on arrive was a very high standard. Would highly recommend a visit.

Nicely different
Hard to spot from the main road, Bnb has a church/monastery feel to it, a bit OTT with religious decor. Breakfast badly organised, would work a lot better alacart rather than buffet. I waited 20min for buffet to be re supplied which never happened. Staff are nice tho. Recommend.
Patricia
Amazing B&B
I stayed at St Benedict for one night while exploring Hastings and Bexhill area. This B&B is something very special. It's almost worth the trip to Hastings just to stay here. The Victorian decor is wonderful. It is really like stepping back into the era. The collection is vast - every inch of the house has so much to discover. The garden is also beautiful.
I stayed in the former nursery on the top floor, which now has a large bed and a wonderful view to the ocean. As is often the case with old houses, I had my own bathroom just down the hall rather than ensuite. (A bathrobe was provided.) Note that the bathing arrangements are Victorian also - being a bath without a shower.
Breakfast was served in the dining room with all guests seated around the large, beautifully laid dining table. A hot and cold buffet is served using period crockery and utensils.
This B&B won't suit those who want all the 'modcons' - no TV here. Don't worry - the rooms have power outlets for charging your modern gadgets and a kettle secreted under a tea cosy.
A unique experience. The owners are lovely offering guests advice and lifts when they can.

Great attention to detail
St Benedict takes you back to Victorian times in all aspects. The house has been furnished with fantastic attention to detail; it's in a quiet location in a very attractive part of St Leonards on Sea. The breakfast was superb. With hindsight, we should have booked the room with the shower, an oversight on my part.

Expected more
We visited the hotel during the owners' absence. We were greeted in a rushed and chaotic manner, but at least did not have to wait half an hour to be met as did other guests.
paul
Great experience
Simply brilliant, great hosts, wonderful décor, lots of fun. We arrived in the early evening, pulled the bell pull and entered an enchanting Victorian world that had us smiling all the way to our room. Sea views and the quirky, but charming, bathroom added to our enjoyment, as did the tea and home made Victoria sponge cake served in the sitting room. Breakfast was wonderful and plentiful

Amazing Place
It is obvious from this B&B that the owners have dedicated a lot of time, energy and love into it. It has been restored wonderfully and is full of interesting antiques and objects. It didn't have a shower in the bathroom, which would normally bother me, but I didn't care because I was in such beautiful surroundings, including the roll top bath which I was happy to relax in. Now for the practical stuff - its about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the train station, it looked as though there was off street parking available, the rooms were perfectly clean, the breakfast was great and the owners were very accommodating.
Fujipet
Victorian!
Very unique B&B. Those who are keen about history or Victorian theme, this is the place to be. The B&B can be museum itself with its furnichure and decor. One can experience how people lived in the era.
