St Benedict B&B

The whole experience was like staying in a museum.

The lighting in the bedroom was a little subdued. My wife had a problem finding enough light to do her make up.

Everything! This place has wow factor. What these guys have done is quite simply amazing, the love they've put into it is felt everywhere you go. It really is quite remarkable what they have achieved. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, it feels happy, as if the house is exactly as it wants to be.... reunited with its old memories of way back when. There isn't a single detail left out, your eyes are constantly finding something else they haven't rested up in before. I fell in love with it, but even if it's not really your "thing" there is no way you won't be impressed. The entire place is spotless. Quite how that's managed when it's filled with so much is a mystery. But hats off to all who make sure it remains perfect. The garden is like a little piece of Heaven. On a nice day you could easily loose hours out there. As is with the inside, there is so much to look at on the outside too. I think one of the best bits for me was the quiet, the peace. It's not often now that life is ever truly quiet. Sitting in the sitting room drinking tea and eating delicious cake lounging on a very comfy sofa actually relaxing is quite special. There is nothing there to remind you of the stresses in your day to day lives. We were in the Old Nursery room, which was a very good size and as with the rest of the house was filled with all you'd expect from a place from that era. Seperate private bathroom with roll top bath was special too, I could have soaked in the tub for hours. Big towels and bath robes were supplied and very much appreciated. The breakfast room was set out beautifully, everything laid out on silver dishes, food was delicious and plentiful. It can always feel a bit awkward sharing breakfast with complete strangers, but we all had a chat and a laugh, so was very enjoyable. I realise I'm on my way to writing a novel here! But honestly there is just so much to say and we only stayed one night!

That we had to leave

Everything the owners have exceeded themselves food lovely very original like stepping back in time wonderful
