Amberley Castle

Amberley is always a wonderful winter retreat and we've been many times. If you like excellent (but friendly) service, super food and drink, log fires and more, and of course all in the most amazing setting of a castle, then Amberley is for you too.

Fantastic hotel with great ambience and history. The staff are excellent and really look after you. The food is absolutely first class. Very highly recommended

This was booked for my son and his girlfriend, the room they had was absolutely stunning with the fire lit for them. They said the staff could not do enough for them. I spoke to Sofia on the phone regarding the booking, she was extremely helpful and professional, she deserves a special mention

The building is lovely - exactly as a castle should be with suits of armour, weapons on the wall and big roaring fires. The one thing that lets Amberley Castle down is the restaurant service. Our dinner reservation was for 7pm but no food appeared until 8pm and that was just the bread. Some of the food was lukewarm suggesting it had been sitting around and one of the courses was totally wrong despite someone double checking our order. Is venison easily confused with risotto? Unfortunately, the breakfast the following day was equally slow - we waited half an hour for our cooked breakfast although the table next to us got theirs within 5 minutes. The waiter blamed a “technical issue” in the kitchen. The five course set dinner menu is nearly £100 and despite the food itself being tasty, it’s not worth it with the current level of service.

My Wife and I were presented with a voucher for Afternoon tea for our 40th Wedding Anniversary by very dear friends. The afternoon tea was a wonderful treat, the staff were very friendly and attentive sitting in one of the cosy lounges with a real fire, was a lovely warming winter escape. unfortunately being winter we were unable to view beautiful gardens.
