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!

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.

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.
