Really lovely castle! Rooms are charming, grounds are lovely and the breakfast was nice. The TVs in the room were smart TVs but didn't work with the internet, and it would have been nice to have fridges in the rooms.

Neat small castle to stay in

Beautiful location, great staff and accommodations, wonderful breakfast with lots of choices. Loved the green juice! Easy walk to nearby small village with a high end provisions store and a restaurant the Black Horse. If not driving good access to taxi services and limited uber.

This was a stay in a lovely castle! There are ruins on the property but it adds to the charm. The grounds are maintained beautifully, our room was gorgeous, comfortable and well appointed. The staff could not be more professional, thoughtful and helpful. We had a lovely dinner and delicious breakfast in the castle’s hall. This stay has been on my bucket list for many years and Amberley castle fulfilled it perfectly!

Stunningly beautiful place and village The staff were wonderful, very polite and helpful from start to finish Water pressure in room low, but never easy in a 1000 yr old castle! Will definitely revisit
Matt, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A delightful castle. Easy parking. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was very clean, with a huge bed and lots of toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities. Unfortunately my stay was spoilt by the fact that I had a ground floor room and could hear the person ( probably a man) thumping around in the room above me. It went on both evenings and I even knew what time the person got out of bed in the morning and started thumping around before going to breakfast.

Staying at a Castle has always been on my bucket list. Grounds around the castle are well manicured. Staff are great. Very old school style comfort and service. Bathroom facilities are modern. Rooms are well appointed. Its not cheap, but if you can afford it would recommend as a special occasion.

A Place Where History, Luxury, and Comfort Meet

If you want to be spoiled by amazing service and spectacular food, surrounded by history where famous bishops, kings, and queens stayed for 800 years, look no further. The village setting next door seems out of a fairly tale.

Beautiful Castle

Staying overnight at a castle has been on my bucket list for quite some time. My Amberley Castle stay did not disappoint. The accommodations were a perfect blend of 21st century comforts and a centuries-old castle. My son and I stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed our beautiful rooms and breathtaking grounds, along with impeccable service and delicious food. Every request to the staff was fulfilled cheerfully and efficiently.

We enjoyed our stay at this unique historic castle property that has a character all of its own. The standard room we occupied was full of character with intruding roof beams, comfortable and well appointed. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. It was our wedding anniversary and were made to feel special without the attention being excessive. We had a pleasurable and memorable stay.

Lovely two night stay in Amberley

Two night stay, dined at a local pub in Amberley the first night and at the Hotel the second night. The service and food in the restaurant at breakfast and at dinner was excellent. The hotel staff I spoke to on the phone before arrival and all the staff came in contact with while there were polite, friendly and helpful. The room was kept clean and tidy with tea and coffee replenished each day for duration of stay.Option of free daily newspaper explained at check in.
Peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed for one night in a standard room, which was very comfortable and spacious, with a view of the extensive grounds. The buildings and gardens are beautiful and the staff friendly and attentive. Our room was below a family room which unfortunately for us was occupied by children who jumped around and slammed doors until gone 1am, and I’m assuming it was the children! Not the hotel’s fault of course but noteworthy. Breakfast was good, served at the table. There were two waiters - a highly experienced man, who was excellent, and another one who was either very inexperienced or having a bad day. Coffee was brought full of grounds and had to be sent back, and my partner’s cooked breakfast was plonked on the table before she’d finished eating some porridge. Not the service I’d expected. Despite our experiences, I would still recommend Amberley Castle as a great place to stay as it oozes charm - and you’re unlikely to have kids bouncing around in the room above you, or meet that particular waiter.
