St Benedict - Victorian Bed and Breakfast

The house is a Victorian-style house but so often, the interior doesn't match the exterior. This one was such a surprise. Every detail--the wallpaper, carpeting, furniture, and beautiful decorating accents--made it obvious that the owner(s) had carefully and lovingly curated this home over many decades. Breakfast was served on beautiful vintage dishes and tea in silver tea pots in a cozy dining parlor surrounded by antiques and flowers. The host was kind and attentive. The bed, comfortable. No traffic or drama, plenty of parking. It was the perfect stop...we both wish we had another day there...not to explore Hastings, but to explore and enjoy the house and garden!

We loved everything about the place. Our room was beautiful, full of interesting things to look at. Really good English breakfast.

Absolutely loved this place. It’s unique, full of amazing things. We were made to feel very welcome and would definitely stay here again.

Der Eigentümer ist sehr freundlich.

Das Haus uns die Einrichtung entspricht in keinster Weise aktuellen Standards und kann in dem Zustand nicht vermietet werden. Ich wundere mich stark über Booking.com, dass dieses Bed&Breakfast ganz oben erscheint, wenn man nach Übernachtungen in Hastings sucht!

An absolutely stunning house — more like a living museum! The historic interior is filled with incredible antique pieces, from furniture to tableware. We especially loved the beautiful sitting room with a grand piano. Breakfast was served in a charming bay window overlooking the lovely garden. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and kind. We booked a room for three persons including our teenage daughter and the hosts were so kind to let her stay in a separate room for free. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

What a wonderful place! It`s like a time travelling! A great experience to stay in this house full of beautiful things and details of decor! Hosts were attentive and friendly, breakfast was delicious and hearty.

Something special and unique

The perfect place for anyone with an interest in history, with every room decorated and presented as though Queen Victoria was still on the throne! The room was comfortable, and the option to use the 'public' rooms: sitting room, music room and study, was appreciated. Breakfast was good and very well presented. Parking was on the road, but there always seemed to be space available. Great location for Battle, Pevensey Castle, Great Dixley House, and many other historic locations within a 40-minute drive.

The whole building took me back in time to when I was growing up, just awesome 😎

Nothing to do with the hotel itself, too many roadworks and diversions took me on a runaround that added an hour to my journey, host was very kind and waited up for me 🙏🏽
