Everything, just an amazing place to stay and out daughter is very pleased to have stayed in a real castle
United KingdomThe staff were amazing. First class service. We stayed for one night with our two children in the Gatehouse. They loved the quirkiness I’d split level living. A perfect stay.
United KingdomThe room and grounds were beautiful and staff were polite and friendly
United KingdomPlenty of choice and quality products. Well presented, with a polite, helpful staff team. Thank you
United KingdomThe breakfast was very nice and was suprised how much we could order which was included! The shower was amazing! And so was the grounds to walk around in.
United KingdomLoved the fact that our room was one of only 2 rooms which had a tiny stone spiral staircase up to the battlements! Also marvellous was the fact that when I rang them on returning home, they had a member of staff search the vacated room and found my purse for me. My partner subsequently collected it from them.
United KingdomAmberley Castle is a wonderful retreat for couples. It has a great ambience and all the older stlyes expected of such a place. The breakfast was first class and what made it more special was the grand hall setting with historic pieces on display. The room however did not have a bath (advertised as having one on the Booking.com website) we explained this to the hotel staff who went beyond expectations by providing a surprise gift to make up for the lack of bath. I would definitely recommend this venue for a romantic stay BUT would also recommend checking with the hotel if the booked room has the same facilities as advertised prior to the stay.
United KingdomLocation is fantastic, staff very helpful and friendly Breakfast was excellent
United KingdomFab choice and served (with a smile) in the magnificent dining room.
United KingdomVery peaceful and the grounds were beautiful. Enjoyed the 18 hole putting green. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive and welcoming. Amberley village is about 5 minutes walk from the castle and is very picturesque with a lovely pub.
