St Benedict B&B - St Leonards-On-Sea, Inggris Raya

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!

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.

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.

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.

If you like history, you will love this place and you will find plenty of treasures there.
