About the Hotel
For 900 years, Amberley Castle has enjoyed a quiet existence near the picturesque village of Amberley in Englandâ€(TM)s West Sussex countryside. Today, it remains a prime example of medieval architectureâ€"complete with moatâ€"while serving as a lavish small hotel. This member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux collection boasts just 19 bedrooms and suites, each individually transformed to complement the architecture. Every day here is a keepsake, ending with the spectacle of the awesome, two-ton oak portcullis being lowered for the night.

Reviews for Amberley Castle
2nd Visit after 13 years
We were checked in on arrival early with a friendly smile and shown to our room where our cases were waiting and jackets hung in the wardrobe. Had a quick walk around the grounds, but the weather wasn’t that nice. We opted for the 5 course menu with a wine flight. The service was impeccable and the meals were delicious. There were plenty of staff on duty even though a big function had taken place in the big hall. Breakfast was equally nice.

Lovely afternoon tea
For a while now I've wanted to have afternoon tea at Amberley Castle, finally enroute we booked it for my birthday. It exceeded my expectations, the afternoon tea was delicious, we sat in a room on a comfortable seetee, it was very relaxing, there was no rush,just a lovely relaxing setting. I would definitely recommend coming here for afternoon tea, a nice little touch, I got a cupcake with Happy Birthday on it, lovely surprise. The staff was very attentive and very welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. Definitely book it!

Beautiful property but poor service
A lovely castle with plenty of history, but in need of some updating. We had a very nice quiet room but the shower pressure was poor and it would be nice to have a door on the loo! Service was ramshackle, no proper bar or waiting staff, no-one seemed to know wha they were doing. We gave up on a bottle of wine at dinner as most seemed unavailable and we had finished our starter before we were offered anything else. Food was pedestrian. A potentially delightful stay let down by poor staffing

Terrible
Absolutely do not book this place if you want a guaranteed booking. Having booked three months ago for a bank holiday weekend this coming summer I just received a call to say they were cancelling my booking due to a booking error. Absolute jokers. Of course now there are now suitable family rooms available at this short notice for bank holiday weekend at comparable places.

Wonderful weekend away
Our stay here was wonderful! Beautiful grounds and buildings. We went for a Junior Deluxe room, I requested the Winchelsea and I received a call a couple of days before our arrival checking if we wanted a dinner reservation in the restaurant and confirming this room was reserved for us. It was a lovely room, very clean and warm and toasty. A huge bathroom with a walk in shower and a lovely bath, robes and slippers and fantastic underfloor heating and lovely toiletries. The bed was big and super comfy and the lovely homemade biscuits and Nespresso machine just topped it all off. There was a small amount of noise from the room upstairs when they walked around but nothing excessive and I think expected given the age of the buildings. Otherwise it was very quiet. Yes, there is no milk in the rooms but actually it's nice not to have the hum of a refrigerator in the room or those little plastic long life milks. We could have requested the milk be brought to our room but as we were very close to reception, it was no trouble to pop down to get some milk. We had dinner in the restaurant on the first night which was delicious. The second night we popped down to The Bridge Inn for a change of scene, also recommend! The breakfast was also delicious and plentiful. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I have to admit, I normally always check Trip Advisor reviews before booking anywhere but in this case I didn't! When I did look at some of the reviews later, I was slightly concerned I had made a mistake but as I discovered, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Thanks for a lovely stay!
