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.

The reason for going there was to celebrate my wife's birthday and have a weekend to remember, sort of worked as will remember never to go there again. The cost for one night which included room, afternoon tea, diner and breakfast was £1,060.00. (When leaving got a bill for another £50.00, £8 for a bottle of water and £42.00 for service charge, did not pay that bit). Room fine if a bit boring, TV only had BBC channels (small point I know but really spending a grand would have thought if wanted to could watch other channels). Bathroom fine and shower worked better than expected. Afternoon tea - 4 mouth size scones, 2 after eight size bits of cake and tea, I am not missing anything that was it, £50 a head seriously these guys know how to make a few quid. Diner - 5 courses £100, no drink ( apart from glass of champers?), hence £8 bottle of water. The food was actually good and if had been £50 would have been enjoyable. Evening here is very boring unless you like elevator piano music then you in for a treat. Breakfast - Average and took ages to arrive. Staff OK, just a bit aloof, avoided being rude just, not friendly apart from receptionist who was nice. The word castle also a stretch basically looks great from the entrance but the rest of it is more rumble than castle. Arundel just down the road is what I call a castle. Overall as the whole point was to make the day a special experience this place fails, I have been to loads of better places at less than half the price, so if you want to spend over the odds and go away feeling like you wasted your money this is the place for you. One a plus point the nearby pub was very good and welcoming.

We stayed two nights at Amberley and were very disappointed. Had we known the hotel was under renovation, we would never have booked. Experiencing the tranquility of the English countryside is not possible with sawing and hammering. The food in the restaurant is top notch. The common areas of the hotel are in serious need of a refresh. Worn and stained carpets, dirty windows, weeds in the garden beds, and bird poop everywhere. We will not return

Not clean, amenities not working. Ie. Bath tap broken, child seat dangerous and not clean. Poor service. Scaffolding everywhere under staffed. Poor communication

The hotel room, common areas and grounds are gorgeous. And the atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming.
