About the Hotel
For 900 years, Amberley Castle has enjoyed a quiet existence near the picturesque village of Amberley in Englandâ€(TM)s West Sussex countryside. Today, it remains a prime example of medieval architectureâ€"complete with moatâ€"while serving as a lavish small hotel. This member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux collection boasts just 19 bedrooms and suites, each individually transformed to complement the architecture. Every day here is a keepsake, ending with the spectacle of the awesome, two-ton oak portcullis being lowered for the night.

Reviews for Amberley Castle
Exceeded our expectations!
A spontaneous stay which exceeded our expectations; the 5 course dinners were excellent, and the afternoon tea, a wonderful treat. Sitting in one of the cosy lounges with a fire, reading…perfect winter escape. We played a round of the putting course golf while was good family fun. Would love to come back in warmer weather too to enjoy more of the activities and beautiful grounds.

A disappointing afternoon tea.
Disappointing visit for afternoon tea to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Took 45 minutes for the sandwiches to appear. Tea was underwhelming and the cakes and pastries pretty basic. The staff were affable but all a bit disorganised, and top ups of tea etc. had to be asked for. At £55 a head there are much better value afternoon teas nearby. Will not be returning.

Disappointing
We’ve been to Amberley Castle a number of times and it has always been great but today, it was a complete disappointment. The greeting on arrival was lacklustre at best! We were then seated without any real greeting from the waiting team. The food took ages to arrive and I even after 1.5 hours, I had to ask for the scones and cakes. No one checked up on us or asked us if we wanted more drinks. Overall the experience was disappointing, very slow, food average so we won’t be going back for afternoon tea and it will be a long time before we visit again.

What an afternoon tea disappointment
4 of us went for afternoon tea at Amberley castle for a special treat. Although the castle is beautiful, the food was very disappointing. We paid £55 and left hungry. The scones were like hard biscuits and tiny. We were given a teaspoon sized amount of cream and jam. The sandwiches were average and not overly fresh. The cakes were also tiny and not very special. We weren’t offered any extra tea, so all had one cup each. The service was decidedly average also. I’ve had far better afternoon tea experiences for £18.99. Sadly I would not return and I would not recommend. It was such a disappointment.

Faultless
The staff went above and beyond to help us with our 1 year old. After a difficult booking through a third party Amberley castle team knocked it out the park with their accommodations and service. Such a beautiful stay for the whole family. The food was something I think about often - sublime.
