The warm greeting when we arrived, the upgraded room , polite, curtesous staff. Beautiful setting, quiet, rural, white doves cooing in the morning, heated towel rack. Professional staff and friendly 👌 loved it. This was a last-minute change of itinerary arriving from the USA, we had missed our connection to Scotland, and we booked the castle last minute. So happy we found Amberley and the local pub was terrific, too, The Black Horse.
Located in the heart of Arundel, this grade II listed Victorian building was completely refurbished in May 2012 to combine traditional comforts with the facilities of a modern 4-star hotel.

Quirky older property. Lovely staff. Close to castle, lots of close by restaurants and shops.

Amberley is a beautiful hotel in lovely grounds in a very pretty village. The service is fantastic and the rooms are lovely. The food is perfection, so although it’s very expensive, it is a real treat. I only have one word of advice. If you value your privacy in the lavatory, do not book Winchelsea room as there is no door between the bedroom and the bathroom. I have no idea why that is.

Amazingly beautiful village with wonderfully maintained gardens and thatched roofs, felt like a film set. Great stopping point on South Downs Way, with couple of pubs and the castle that does afternoon teas and fine dining.

Pricey for what you get.
Pricey for what you get. Just because it's in a castle doesn't mean the rate should be so high, especially if they aren't offering anything 'special.
Small room, no water pressure, sparce. But bed comfy and nice staff.

Pretty area. Great walks.
Pretty area. Great walks. The Bridge Inn pub was walkable from the Castle. Staff at the Castle were fabulous and we felt very relaxed. Would have loved to have stayed for another night but no availability sadly.

The castle is wonderfully beautiful, full of green grass and beautiful flowers
Everything is clean and well-kept
We felt as if we were princess of the castle
The bed was huge and comfortable, the mattress perfect
I'm sorry we were only there for a short while, we would have stayed

There is a lovely tea room in the village- the owner's daughter is a great baker, The village ship has wonderful bread delivered so if you are there Saturday morning go there. Very friendly and helpful. Nice pub and a little pottery with a small selection of items. The village is gorgeous and is worth a walk. 12th-century church is open to visitors.
Location is absolutely amazing, landscaping perfect and general atmosphere is great. It is exactly what it promises, you stay in a real castle and it is absolutely gorgeous.
Amberley village is worth visiting too, there is a pottery shop, beautiful old church and a nice pub.
Generously sized rooms and very well-designed bathrooms.
Breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner are all very good. Even if you do not stay at the hotel, coming for a meal is definitely worth it, specially if weather is good and you can sit in the garden.
Gorgeous place. Had a lot of great amenities. Location however if you don't drive it's difficult and expensive to get taxis. The castle should have their own taxi for instances like this. Food was great. However, during our dinner courses the rabbit had a bone in it. For as expensive as our dinner was the food should have been tended to a bit more carefully. Very disappointed with that. The pillows on the bed could have been a bit better. They were flat and uncomfortable.

The property is beautiful. The grounds have lovely flowers everywhere and are very well maintained. The buildings are interesting and comfortable. The doves that live in the castle walls are fun to watch and add a bit of fairytale to the experience. We didn’t eat dinner at the hotel but had a wonderful dinner in the town at the Black House. (Highly recommend it.) Breakfast at the castle was great with options that made everyone happy.
Emma is a brilliant host, very welcoming and friendly. The property is gorgeous, just what we wanted for our girlie weekend. The hot tub is lush and we stayed in it most of the time! Amberley itself is a delight and worth a visit to the tea rooms and the shop. Dinner at the Black Horse was nice but very hot in the pub itself and sadly the beer garden wasn't open. All in all a perfect weekend and would highly recommend.
The restaurant is exceptionally good - we had been there twice before, and we decided to stay at the hotel this time when we visited the area. The atmosphere in the pub/hotel is very nice - the staff is friendly and helpful, there is a restaurant, bar and a garden. The scenery in Amberley / South Downs national park is very beautiful, we enjoyed our stay a lot.
Great country pub with excellent food, comfortable rooms and first class staff. Breakfasts were a particular highlight with a wide choice of individually cooked plates. Rooms were warm with a well appointed bathroom. It's a dog friendly hotel which is a real plus as there is loads of good walking on the South Downs straight from the door of the pub.
gorgeous property, in lovely and charming location. easy drive from London Gatwick. Very walkable property! Big shout out to Pierce at the front desk who was wonderfully accommodating to my husband and I when we arrived a tad early. He went above and beyond when my husband injured his ankle in route to the hotel. He is a total gem of a human!
In theory the location of this lovely looking and very quirky old cottage is great, close to the train station, a great pub and the Amberley museum. The booking process was fine, the hosts responded quickly to queries and questions and they returned the security deposit promptly and without fuss.
The hotel itself was lovely, as expected but what made our stay so special were the staff - they pulled off the perfect mix of being charmingly personable while also courteously professional. We’d recommended it highly and will definitely return. Thank you.
Breakfast very good, location stunning but a bit remote so you were really obliged to have dinner at the hotel which was quite expensive- very good quality but a limited choice & expensive at about £230 with one pre-dinner drink and one bottle of wine.
A spur of the moment booking due to a change in travel plans landed us at Amberley. And what an absolute delight! Beautiful and historic castle turned hotel with exceptional service, exceptional food and a zen like ambience. I will be back…
The whole house was damp and uncomfortable Don’t stay there. We had to move to a hotel as it was so damp that we couldn’t breathe and the kitchen smelt so awful that we didn’t eat or drink anything there.
Hotel was a beautiful old castle but it is overpriced for what it is. Rooms are big and nice and grounds are nice.. the nearby village is cute and there are some nice pubs for a drink.
We spent a lovely family weekend trip in Amberley Castle. Beautiful gardens and comfortable rooms. Staffs are very helpful and friendly. We’d love to go back in the future.
