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.

Staying at St. Benedict B&B was no less than fantastic. Paul & Stephen was wonderful hosts in their beautiful, quiet and very cosy Victorian B&B. When we arrived tea (the best tea we have had in a very long time) and cake was served in a beautiful room with a very beautiful organ. And tea and cake was just what we needed after a long drive. We stayed in "Mr. Parry’s Rooms" and have never slept better than we did in the four poster bed. We give it 10 out of 6 stars, and is already dreaming about to come back and stay at St. Benedict B&B.

This hotel is an absolute gem. It will not fail to please. The attention to detail in the whole house is incredible. A friendly warm welcome awaits guests. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.
