About this property
A 4-story villa dating back to 1882, St Benedict - Victorian Bed and Breakfast embraces a 19th-century theme, with characterful period details and retaining its original Victorian layout. This St Leonards guest house offers free parking and Wi-Fi, and serves a country house-style full English breakfast. With authentic furnishings of the era, guest rooms at St Benedict have a comfortable double bed and tea and coffee facilities. Each has a private external bathroom with a roll-top bath. The full English breakfast is served in the dining room from silver dishes, in the manner of a Victorian country house. Evening meals can also be provided on request. St Leonards also has a number of recommended restaurants within a short walk of the guest house. Guests can take tea on the lawn in summer, or enjoy the roaring fire in the drawing room in winter. A large walled garden has a pond, summerhouse and even a tranquil chapel. The East Sussex resort of St Leonards is just over a mile from neighboring Hastings, home of Hastings Museum and Art Gallery and the famous Norman castle. Bexhill is just over 5 miles away, counting the iconic 1930s De La Warr Pavilion theater and arts venue among its attractions.
