“The people, the house, the views, the light (the breakfast....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

...all better than money can buy. Not the easiest place to find, but a delightful family welcome, glorious scenery and the best-designed house (I mean house, rather than stately home or mansion) that I've seen since we visited Chartwell. Mike and Caroline Norcross designed and built it, and there is space and light everywhere, as well as great decor and furniture. Caroline cooks herself (lovely plum bread on arrival), proper milk for your tea, great breakfast, all home comforts and thoughtful conversation - Mike and Caroline are conservationists too. Great to have met them, and will bring family next time. Many, many thanks.

“4 days home form home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

Lovely couple, superb bedroom and bathroom, tray had cake EVERY DAY. Very quiet, good for walks or just sit and watch the wildlife. Lincoln ten minutes by car or frequent bus service. Pub close by. Will be back in the Spring.

Room Tip: Both rooms are great

“First class - we loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

Caroline Norcross incredibly welcoming and fitted us in at the last minute. Very comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and she very kindly booked a table for dinner for us at the local pub. Extremely good value. We plan to return.

“Very lucky to find this B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2011

I stayed here last week for 2 nights, I was on my own as I was in the area with work. Caroline made me feel very welcome and even made a cooked breakfast at 06:15am both mornings, the room was fantastic, spacious very clean, tidy and the welcome tray had a nice touch of either chocolate biscuit or slice of cake. The power shower was lovely, after standing around at work all day, it was nice to have a shower and relax. The views out of the room were very picturesque and the area was quiet just the way I am used to. I would certainly stay here again and recommend it to others.

“First Class B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2010

person found this review helpful

My wife and I were lucky enough to stay at Ryelands House for 4 nights whilst taking a short break in the area and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
We stayed in the twin room with ensuite and it has great views over the garden, pond and fields. Caroline, the owner is an excellent hostess, who provided a tea tray every day complete with cake , biscuits and fresh milk. The room is large with two easy chairs in which to relax and read or watch TV, and is beautiful, bright and clean with an ensuite that has a bath with a shower over and fresh towels daily if necessary.
An excellent breakfast, with all that you could want, is taken in the bright and airy breakfast room downstairs that also has a settee and armchairs that can be used for relaxing in during the evening, and I suspect the day if you asked.
Although we didn't meet Mike, Caroline's husband, as it was harvest time and he was busy on the farm, we did meet their two delightful dogs Wilfred and Pickles ( someone must be a fan of 1940s and 50s radio presenters !!).

All in all this is with doubt first class B&B accommodation and we will definately return when we are next staying in the area.
