  My first stay at a B&B-2 nights

  This was our first stop upon arriving in the UK. We were exhausted (jet lag) upon arrival, so the warm welcome by Norman was so appreciated. He made us feel at home immediately. We had a wonderful home cooked breakfast in the morning to get us started. Our room and the house were beautiful and provided us the comfort we wanted after a long day of exploring. The three dogs, Muffin, Lola and Tiny were a joy to be around. It was so nice to stroll through the back yard and just relax after a long day.

  Birthday Treat with family

  My husband, son, daughter in law and little grandson stayed one night as a Birthday treat for our son on 6.12.19. We received a warm welcome by Jolyon and intoduced to his Mum and friend staying, it felt like we were family guests especially as we joined them in the lounge after we had been out for a meal (The Bell, Ticehurst...exceptionally good). Wow what Christmas decorations! Laurence definitely has a flair for this! (Made us a little anxious with a toddler around though!) The rooms are tastefully decorated of a high standard. Our breakfast was delicious and relaxed enjoying conversation with other guests and Mum. Interest was taken in our little grandson and feeding the ducks and collecting eggs was timed when he could go out too. Helpful advise was given on where to go (Bewl Reservoir..lovely walk) and Saturday lunch (The Vineyard..another super meal). Would highly recommend.

  Love at first sight such a beautiful place to stay !!

  Such a beautiful rural setting the room is stunning and so comfortable! The hosts are so welcoming and accommodating! Above and beyond what is expected! The room was spotless and had everything we needed. The garden is beautiful and it was lovely to have a wander and sit by the pond with the ducks Would definitely recommend as a peaceful break away from it all.....

  Beautifully clean, attractive blue bedroom ... breakfast sadly lacking ...

  Such a difficult review to write as top of our list would always be cleanliness, top class linen, comfortable and classy bed, super shower and beautiful surroundings and all of these were definitely achieved. However, when we arrived we were told a cooked breakfast couldn't be offered due to Covid?! We were confused but guessed with one long breakfast table distancing was difficult and separate sittings were not offered. Nor was a table on the patio but we requested one the first morning and was shown our own table. No choice of breakfast whatsoever, a yoghurt, one apple, one banana, beautifully home-made bread, a lovely croissant each, one boiled egg each, homemade apple compote, individual jam pots and lovely orange juice and great coffee (sorry we were offered a choice of tea or coffee). We agreed the second morning we would eat between 9.30-10 again on the patio, a knock on our bedroom door at 9 saying it was a little breezy so breakfast in our room would be more comfortable in TEN minutes, it wasn't! We sat on bedroom chairs leaning down to a glass coffee table and had exactly the same breakfast without choice again, without the apple and banana or jug of juice, though we had glasses of juice and sure we could have found Jolyon to ask for more if we had the energy. Shoyswell's mantra is 'they have travelled the world extensively and know what they like and what they don't' ... would they have enjoyed breakfast hunched over a coffee table - we think not - either close due to Covid or provide enough separate tables inside and outside so breakfast can be enjoyed comfortably please. Sorry to moan as truly everything else except our breakfast experience was first class.

  Wonderfully quiet retreat, friendly and great facilities

  We stayed in the deluxe king suite and weren't disappointed. The room was wonderfully quirky, full of character and done to an outstanding level. All mod-cons were included i.e. USB power sockets, integrated central heating, lighting etc... We enjoyed Joylon and Lawrence's company immensely and the dogs too - (which my partner in particular loved)! They couldn't be more friendly, helpful with i.e. restaurant recommendations and local attractions. On the last day Joylon waited to feed the chickens & hens so my partner had time to sit outside and watch. It's things like that really meant a lot to us. To top it off the garden, pond & surroundings are gorgeous in a great secluded spot. We'll definitely be back.
