Our bed and breakfast rates include a generous continental breakfast each morning, with the option to upgrade to a freshly cooked dish from our à la carte breakfast menu—served in our on-site restaurant, San Benedetto’s.
San Benedetto’s offers a relaxed and contemporary dining experience, with a menu focused on seasonal Italian influenced dishes with British flare. Wherever possible, our chefs work closely with the Abbey Gardens and Abbey Farm to showcase fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are always available, and our team are happy to accommodate dietary requirements.
