Amberley Castle

I had a great stay at the castle. Interior was beautiful. Staff delightful. My room was amazing with fireplace. Excellent biscuit barrel! Breakfast and dinner very tasty. Plenty of parking. We did struggle to find the entrance so make sure you get the correct postcode.

Our stay at Amberley Castle was a birthday treat from our daughter for her Dad, well what a treat it was for both of us. The setting was beautiful and the quaint village of Amberley was well worth walking around. Staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, we liked the fact there was fresh milk provided in the rooms, by room service which once ordered arrived very quickly. The 5 course tasting menu in the evening was wonderful. Everything was beautifully presented and very tasty a great treat. Our room was furnished well, in keeping with castle and was very clean, bed was very comfortable. At breakfast there was a really good choice and all well presented and cooked. My husband said it was the best black pudding he had tasted. Before we left we walked around the grounds which are well kept. Thank you everyone at Amberley Castle for making our visit so memorable.

An absolutely wonderful stay in this beautiful castle! I stayed in the Amberley room, which was very spacious but still cosy with the lovely open fire. The staff we amazing and very welcoming, I felt like I was part of the family! The only negative I have is that we didn't stay longer.

Wonderful 2nd trip to this castle. Room was perfect, soft fluffy towels and toiletries. We had the tasting menu and wine flight which was served by friendly efficient staff. Unfortunately there was a big function on so we couldn’t eat in the big hall. The smaller room was nice though.

Returned to AC after a number of years and was not disappointed. Although very quiet on a Monday evening the team were all very attentive, helpful and pleasant with a smile. Dinner was a very pleasant experience. The food quality and presentation should be applauded. Thank you chef et al. Our room; Winchelsea was maintained to a very high standard with modern bathroom fittings, newly decorated and spotless. The staff all were very welcoming, warm, interactive and did a great job. Well done the AC team, we will be back.

Beautiful building with a rich history. Lovely grounds and interior decor to suit the building. Room (Rye Room) cosy & warm with a amazing comfortable bed 👌🏻 Stayed a single night but definitely will visit again! Breakfast was lovely (Best Black pudding ever!!) Also recommend the small walk around the local village for the heritage feel.

This is the perfect place for a historic getaway from the hurly burly of modern life. The setting is truly wonderful and the rooms have been thoughtfully created with both the ancient and modern in mind. We stayed as a birthday surprise for my wife and took advantage of the Celebration Package. The flowers, chocolates and champagne really set the scene for a great stay as did the welcome card for my wife, a lovely, personal touch. I'd particularly like to thanks Luke and Ivan in reception for their help, professionalism and advice as well as Juan and Diana in the restaurant for their excellent service. Well done all. P.S. The afternoon tea is a must have!

I stayed at Amberley Castle for their New Year’s celebration and would like to extend special thanks to Elizabeth, the Food & Beverage Manager, for her exceptional attentiveness throughout our stay, and to Diana for ensuring our dining experiences were consistently excellent. We booked the full New Year’s package and, overall, had a wonderful experience. The castle itself is breathtaking—a truly remarkable historic setting—and arrival and check-in were seamless. There were some last-minute changes to the first day’s schedule, and a few elements initially included in the package were later treated as extras. While slightly confusing, this did not significantly detract from the overall experience. Dinner was outstanding and worthy of Michelin recognition. Standout courses included the mackerel, venison, and especially the pork cheeks. We also enjoyed an excellent Rioja pairing. Our room, located in the front château, offered stunning views of the castle and felt wonderfully immersive, as if stepping into a medieval tale. The bathroom amenities were high quality, daily room refreshes were well executed, and the fresh cookies along with the excellent coffee and tea were thoughtful highlights. One notable drawback was a persistent foul smell in the bathroom, which appeared to come from the pipes. The bathroom itself was consistently clean, so this seemed to be a plumbing issue rather than a matter of hygiene. On New Year’s Day, the celebration leaned heavily toward communal dining and social interaction, including a medieval-style shared table. While this may appeal to some guests, others may prefer a more intimate dining experience. Elizabeth was very attentive throughout and made a genuine effort to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The fireworks display was spectacular, and watching it from the castle gates was a truly cinematic way to welcome the New Year. Overall, a beautiful and memorable stay in an extraordinary setting, elevated by a dedicated and thoughtful team.
