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)

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.

Outstanding victorian B&B with perfect hosts
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 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.

If you like to live in the past for a couple of days, you couldn’t find a better place! Everything is genuine, but it’s not like a museum, it’s a living place with its own energy and heartbeat. From the garden to the rooms to the breakfast it was nothing else but a fantastic stay. Warmly recommended.

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.

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.

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
