Amberley Castle- A Relais & Chateaux Hotel

Interesting and enjoyable.

Liked: Location and ambiance.
Disliked: It’s expensive but perfect for special occasions.

Disappointing

Liked: The breakfast was ok. I chose gnocchi which was burnt. In fairness to the hotel, they took the price of the evening meal off the bill so they were very fair. I was upgraded to a suite but basic things like there was no milk for the tea although a very kind night porter brought some over to the room when i rang and asked. The staff were nice but the service was slow when sitting outside waiting for a drink.

Very comfortable

Liked: Food excellent. Breakfast perfect for my requirements.
Disliked: Not easy to have a bit of banter with the restaurant staff!!

Pleasant

Liked: There is a great castle ambience and the driveway approach and gardens are delightful. There's some lovely inside rooms for a drink or afternoon tea. We had an early evening drink on the the patio which is inside the castle walls and has a lovely, calming atmosphere.Breakfast was good and service excellent.Generally the service was very good.
Disliked: The rooms are tired. At dinner you don't get an option other than the 5 course taster menu, which is pricey. .There is an a la carte menu but they're not keen on giving it to you. The food at dinner was average, nothing special.

Wonderful historic location in beautiful...

Liked: Fantastic breakfast, varied menu of local produce for both cooked and continetal breakfast.
Disliked: Unfortunately there was restoration work on the castle walls, so access to some of the grounds was restricted.

Ok

Liked: The grounds are fantastic the location is beautiful the hotel from the outside
Disliked: Lack of details no a.c in rooms, dirty, breakfast was ok

Not value for money but...

Liked: The position and the staff
Disliked: Overpriced. We booked a king bed, they gave us 2 singles which moved apart. The bathrooms are ordinary. Nothing luxurious. The ceiling in the bedroom had cracks and were badly patched. The ceiling in the bathroom had mould. Mould around shower nozzle and not spotlessly clean in corners of shower or shower shelf. We had to walk up a narrow staircase (servants steps) to get to our room. The toilet seat was too small for the toilet. Porcelain bowl came out 2-3cm further than the seat.
