An enchanting cottage in an idyllic corner of Chiddingfold. People return time and again – for the house (1545), the garden blooming with flowers, vegetables, hens and dovecote, the glowing interiors, and Sheila. The sitting room is inviting with rich colours, flowers, beams and a roaring log fire; the turning oak staircase leads to bedrooms that are cosy and sumptuous at the same time, and bathrooms with deep roll top tubs and a pretty armchair. You'll breakfast on fresh fruits, yogurt and pastries in the 16th-century dining room before heading out on walks on the Greensand Way through gorgeous countryside...who would guess London and the airports were so close?

Guest feedback
"Shiela and John were wonderful - we arrived late due to an event overrunning which was no problem to them. We also had a very early start and Shiela kindly laid a beautiful breakfast for us! Will definitely stay here again in the future, the house had a beautiful exterior and interior and the beds were incredibly comfortable! Towels and robes were provided as a lovely touch! "

"Sheila and John Marsh. What can we say, very welcoming from the first time we met them. The pictures don't do this house justice. The rooms were lovely and as for our room we felt we could of moved in. The gardens were lovely and well kept. As for breakfast , Sheila and John laid on a lovely spread.
To sum up, cant wait to stay again ."

"What a gorgeous B&B! The house was wonderfully old (1500s) and quirky, but kept to an impeccable standard. Wonderful furnishings, including lots of amazing antiques, all beautifully arranged by Sheila. Gorgeous garden & well organised veggie patch to be jealous of. We as sampled the fresh hens eggs, homegrown raspberries & home grown /made jams at breakfast. Sheila and John were really welcoming, we felt like part of the family.
John booked us a table at the Swan & we had a delicious meal there.
All in all, highly recommended. Keep up the good work! "

"A gem of a house, with real character and charm, beautiful gardens and a delicious breakfast of homemade bread, eggs from their own chickens and a selection of Greenaway jams. If you're in the front bedroom, check the ancient leaded windows for graffiti: a previous visitor scratched his name onto the glass, twice - in 1907! Charming hosts, and nice places to eat in easy walking distance. We wished we could've stayed longer."

"Had a great stay in this charming house which is very picturesque and tastefully decorated. The surroundings are lovely. The kitchen garden is a feature as are the hens and the opportunity to gather their eggs for morning breakfast! Three generations of our family stayed and each thoroughly enjoyed it."

"We (party of 4) stayed here for the Goodwood Revival - what a great choice! The warmest of welcomes in a lovely, characterful house with friendly, helpful hosts; John even emptied the garage for one of the cars! Very comfortable rooms (but no space for en-suite bathrooms, note) and superb breakfasts - Sheila's home-made marmalade is top-notch.
The other bonus in staying here, is that Chiddingfold has 2 excellent pubs - one is also a Sawdays' entry, so a 2-minute walk out for a great meal is easily done and means no-one has to drive!
Definitely a 'Sawdays', and we very much look forward to returning!"
