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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
