Great hotel, and great surroundings. That said, service can be much improved. 1) Wifi in the room didn’t work and staff didn’t know how to fix it. They had to wait for their manager who would only be there the next day. 2) we had dinner in the restaurant and don’t think I’ve ever had a slower service… For example, took them 40mins to bring out the bread. For a 3 course meal, we were at the table for 3h.. Some people just left because they didn’t want to wait anymore. We complained and they waived the service charge. They need to look at their staffing levels/training.

This was expensive for what it was, even for a castle stay. The room was nice, but not outstanding for the price. The staff were friendly, the bed was comfy, the grounds were cute. For what you pay, would be nice to receive complimentary drink of arrival or something. Don't do dinner here, so completely over priced (yes, I know you are paying more for a castle, but even then - we spent about $500AUD on a OK dinner, it was crazy!)

Great stay! Was upgraded to nicer room on arrival. Comfy beds, lux bathroom, tea/coffee and fresh baked cookies - heaven! Walked to Amberley Black Horse pub for drinks & snacks (and board games) then back to hotel for their 5 course tasting menu - most enjoyable!

We enjoyed the castle experience, but our room was by the front desk/lobby and we heard everything that was going on there until late and early in the morning. I paid additional for an extra bed which came as a cot, small, thin mattress, uncomfortable! The food however was the highlight of our stay, do stay for tea time and dinner it’s well worth it!

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.

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 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.
