St Benedict - Victorian Bed and Breakfast

This was a magical experience! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous with all its attention to detail. The owner were very accommodating and friendly. They prepared us a roaring fire in the living room which made us feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious and the beds were very comfortable. I will definitely be returning here!

The B&B has an amazing Victorian decor, but it isn't just the large pieces, the mirror over the fireplace, it extends to the smallest of trinkets such as a matchbox cover featuring Tsar Nicolas II. This means that you could spend your entire stay walking through the house finding yourself amazed by another interesting little find; a true Victorian museum. The bed was comfortable with extra blankets if needed, breakfast was delightful served in true Victorian style and the owners were very helpful and always on hand should you need anything.

Not all bathrooms have a shower, some of them only a bath. This wasn't a problem for us however something to consider if you are solely a shower person/couple.

The house is beautifully curated. The room was spacious, bright and comfortable with a lovely view of the garden and the sea. The breakfast was delicious and very atmospheric with the fire on. I loved all the little details. It was a very special place to stay.

The house is fabulous, with incredible attention to detail. It is large and welcoming, with a unique decor.

The building and decoration is fabulous. It really is like a living museum. Breakfast was wonderful and we loved how the flames from the real fire reflected in the silverware.

There was nothing that we were not aware of before we booked - the bathrooms are external to the rooms and the location is a bit of a walk from the beach but we knew both things in advance and neither took away from our enjoyment of staying in such a unique place!

It was an amazing experience to go back in time, to be surrounded by beautiful antiques, carefully chosen, the welcome was warm and generous and it was something completely out of the ordinary.

Some of the upholstery in the reception room needed better stuffing to be comfortable

The house is beautiful, inside and outside. The attention to detail, to create a Victorian home, surpassed our expectations, and it was like going back in time, with so much to look at and absorb. We were made to feel welcome straightaway, by Paul, the owner. Each of our bedrooms was unique and in addition to the beauty, there was also comfort, cleanliness and peace there. The breakfast was delicious, and we loved the dining room, tableware and presentation of breakfast. The garden was a fantastic and whimsical surprise, and we are in awe of the dedication to detail and commitment to provide guests with such a relaxing and beautiful time away. The owners are kind, courteous, interesting and professional, and no detail was overlooked by them.

That we hadn't planned to stay longer!

The property is beautiful and every room is a feast for the eyes full of antiques and art
