Amberley Castle- A Relais & Chateaux Hotel

This is a real castle, though the part that's occupied is not nearly as old as the original part, and it's been made into a luxurious hotel. There aren't many rooms, so it's quiet. The five-course dinner was one of the best meals we've ever enjoyed, and it was served expertly. Unfortunately we had to leave too early to partake of their breakfast, which was bound to be superb.

Pleasant Staff

The rooms need some updated decor and someone to automatically bring milk and coffee refills etc rather than having to ask for it - we are the guests after all. No room service during our 2 night stay which I would also expect for the price. The dining room staff could be more attentive for evening service, and perhaps give more recommendations and advice on the a la carte menu and what to choose. Additionally, someone to greet you at the door of the restaurant rather than leaving you standing around not being sure to just take a seat yourself or not. The whole place has an odd atmosphere to it, and staff are possibly too discreet. Breakfasts were really nice though and it’s a nice little castle / village for a short wander. I’d spend close to 2k elsewhere in future though, and somewhere that has additional facilities - gym, pool etc.

Ivan was just brilliant at sorting out an issue. Cant praise him enough.

Lovely stay
