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.

Upon arrival we were told that our room had been upgraded. However; it was dark and uninviting and the light was so poor that I couldn't read in bed. I was greatly surprised that for a Relais and Chateau there were no toiletries, apart from shampoo and conditioner. No shower cap, or make up remover. I was even more surprised at the Michelin Recognised restaurant's 7 course meal was not very good. I left my monk fish as it was dry and overcooked and the beef course, though copious was difficult for me to digest since there were so few accompaning vegetables. When we checked out the receptionist asked how I'd enjoyed my stay. When I told him he suggested I write to the manager. I did so a week ago and so far have received no response. They need to pull up their socks big time.

A stunning setting with outstanding historical features throughout. Some lack-lustre service and some building issues impacted on my overall impressions here however. This is clearly a very historical property with almost certainly Grade I listed status. My bedroom did have gaps around the window frames however and there were some signs of damp and mould. I had the biggest modern hotel bathroom I’ve ever seen. Waiter spilt some gravy across the table which he was clearly really embarrassed about and he replaced the wine. Great room service breakfast.

Food not to our licking would prefer a set menu.also our room needed a light. In the bathroom during the night when a need for use that was not the main light that light up the whole room.

Surprised my partner for his 40th Birthday. The grounds and castle itself were magical. Tranquil and intimate it felt as though we had the place to ourselves and the staff were attentive and made us feel at ease. Our package included a 5 course dinner which was sensational -would highly recommend. We added the wine pairing option which was also stand out. Thankyou for a wonderful stay.

We booked the great hall for Afternoon Tea for an 80th Birthday party. Amberly Castle were fantastic at everything. In our party we had fussy eaters (me) and some with complex dietary requirements. We planned well in advance and let Amberley know of our needs. The standard afternoon teas were great but they really pulled the stops out for the complex dietary needs, we could not praise them highly enough. The room was perfect, the castle is great, staff were superb.
