Just returned from a surprise weekend away at Amberley. I had seen the castle from the train a few years ago and on looking it up had dismissed any thoughts of ever actually staying there as it was so expensive! So, imagine my delight when the SatNav brought me there in the dark of the January winter. It was a... more

We wanted two nights here but could only get one as there was a big wedding scheduled for the next day. Up that long gravel drive-way and under the portcullis for check-in - what an entrance. Off to a great start with a room upgrade in the castle wall on the ground floor next to the portcullis. A trip up... more

My wife and I were given a night at Amberley Castle as a delayed wedding present, and stayed here at the end of November 2009. Very difficult to find in the dark as the entrance off the main road is not lit up at all and just looks like a small side road. Also - don't follow directions from Google... more

Amberley Castle hotel is the perfect setting for a country house luxury get away but they totally let themselves down with indifferent service (except for the restaurant) and a couldn't care less attitude. There are much better places to stay in the immediate area. My husband booked a break to celebrate a significant birthday knowing how much I enjoy a... more

Superb accommodation, massive four poster. Ideal location for a quiet celebration. Staff very helpful, food very good. Would have been excellent but for the limited choice as we stayed for two nights. Still I suppose some people would have been satisfied, if you liked octopus and black pudding - not together of course! One small niggle and I have often... more

My husband and I booked a table at Amberley on Friday, 20th evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We are local to the hotel and had no requirement to book a room but wanted to celebrate in style. We were met very courteously at the door and offered either a drink in one of the lounges or to go straight... more

Beautiful location set in the South Downs, this historic castle makes a wondeful venue for a romantic break. Rooms and service are good. Restaurant food is nouvelle cuisine which might not be to everybody's taste. more

Stayed here a few years ago for one night with dinner - was amazing. Gorgeous room, roll top bath, incredible food, fab place for a romantic break, though be warned there's really nothing to do once you step out of the room - we didn't mind that though! I would go back again as long as i could get a... more

We wanted to stay in a castle and found several manor homes on the internet that just didn't look like a castle. Then we found Amberley Castle. What a charming and historical place to stay. It was very expensive but for the experience of a real castle it was worth every cent. We wandered the grounds, climbed the tower and... more
