Fabulous setting, beautiful castle with ruins, a unique place to stay
Our room had a luxury bathroom, however, as much as I love my husband, I would rather not hear him using the toilet. I don’t understand why there was not door in to the bathroom from the entrance to the bedroom.

Location was good. Meals were good.
Greeting was very poor. New member of staff shouldn't have been doing reception. Bad first impression. She was shaking and not a good start. Also bed was uncomfortable, particularly hard pillows. Didn't sleep well.

Travelled for my sons wedding, absolutely stunning, staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. Would definitely recommend. Outstanding breakfast.
Milk in the room but in fairness you only had to ask and they brought it to you in a cooling flask, so not really a problem.

It felt like being in a fairytale! It was absolutely magical! We loved playing in the lounges by the fire.

The hotel itself was lovely, as expected but what made our stay so special were the staff - they pulled off the perfect mix of being charmingly personable while also courteously professional. We’d recommended it highly and will definitely return. Thank you.

ambience is without parallel. would love to come here again
making the final turns onto the property was very challenging in a larger car with suitcases.
also one room out of 3 did not have an outside window. that was a little sad.
3.5 / 5.0
It is a dream, fairy-tale castle with a perfect reception staff and a most beautiful location. The rooms are delightful , the setting is like a film scene , worth a trip, definitely. The nearby village is absolutely gorgeous, walks from the hotel through the valley and the South Downs are delightful.
The quality of the restaurant is not up to the standard of the hotel, the service tried hard, but was not professional !

it’s a castle! seriously though it was very lavish and we enjoyed it a lot.
would be amazing if it had a spa but that would take a-lot of money to build.

4.0 / 5.0
Breakfast very good, location stunning but a bit remote so you were really obliged to have dinner at the hotel which was quite expensive- very good quality but a limited choice & expensive at about £230 with one pre-dinner drink and one bottle of wine.
Only the dinner bill!!
4.5 / 5.0
A wonderful building in a beautiful & quiet location. comfortable lounges, good food and lovely staff.
My only gripe (and it is minor) is that I would have liked a choice of pillows. The only other factor that mitigated against a 100% rating was that it was priced for perfection!

The location
The room we had was very poor….tucked away in the attic and a rodent in the roof space making itself known during the night .
Not a good experience . Set meal menu at £80 was not good value or memorable.
5.0 / 5.0
Amberley Castle is a stunning hotel/venue. It is immaculate and beautifully kept, of course steeped in history. The room, food and atmosphere is wonderful, however what really makes the difference are the people! All of the staff were so helpful, friendly and informative and really could not do enough to make sure you have a perfect stay and they work so incredibly hard but make it look effortless! I cannot thank them enough for making our stay for my Fiancé’s 50th birthday a fantastic experience!
Nothing, we had some issues with the heating in our room but it’s a castle and the staff sorted it for us. Only thing they need is a few EV chargers!
2.0 / 5.0
It was old with historical features
No fridge, no safe certainly shower tray was filthy. Would have been better off staying in the Black Horse Pub Amberley. Definitely wouldn’t come back. Very surprised they have a Relais and Chateau badge.
