We stayed for only one night and can heartily recommend St Benets Abbey. Carole is extremely friendly, genuinely happy to answer any questions and gave us a real insight into the history of what is a lovely building. Our room (number 1) was spacious and had a fabulous huge four poster bed. We will return as this is an ideal... more

Place has got an obviously interesting history, I wish the owners had built on that and researched it and published it. The rooms are fine and clean, but in need of a make over. The location by the waterfall makes a nice acoustic to sleep and wake to. more

This is a stunning, very individual B+B run by excellent hosts. We had th most lovely welcome with the offer of tea in our bedroom or in the lounge. We had room 2 which was huge with a beautiful Juliet style window overlooking the grounds. We had a huge bed and gorgeous furniture. The only small fault was the fan... more

We spent five nights here in July 2009. Superb room (no. 8), large and comfortable bed, very friendly service from a delightful and hard working family - Carole, Graham and daughter Gemma - and nothing was too much trouble. The traditional English breakfast was mountainous and indulgent. We could go on about the excellence of St Benets but suffice it... more

We have just returned from a 3 night beak in St Benets Abbey which we enjoyed immensely. We were made to feel very welcome and at home, our room was really good, large,airy and very comfortable. The breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty, with 'real' coffee as well! St Benets is situated in an ideal location, midway between the... more

We were not disappointed, this is a lovely hotel in very pleasant surroundings. All the rooms are pictured on the website, but we were still pleasantly surprised when... more

We never got as far as staying in St Benets - although it was booked with no problems through their web page - Thankfully I phoned to check everything was ok on the morning (we had a 7 hour drive to Cornwall) to be told they had no rooms! My debit card payment had gone through, no problems and the... more

Myself and my partner spent a week at St. Benets, and totally loved it. The room we had was beautiful; it had a four-poster bed, an arched window with stained glass, and it was so quiet except for the stream running through the garden. The owners of the hotel were really helpful, and their breakfasts were fantastic. We felt at... more

I visited St Benets abbey for a birthday weekend surprise for my girlfriend. I booked room 8, which was excellent! The room was clean, tidy and well presented. The bed was extremely comfortable and it had separate room with a slipper style bath. The hotel is in a quiet location, which is perfect for a romantic break, but you are... more
