We stayed for one night in a standard room, which was very comfortable and spacious, with a view of the extensive grounds. The buildings and gardens are beautiful and the staff friendly and attentive. Our room was below a family room which unfortunately for us was occupied by children who jumped around and slammed doors until gone 1am, and I’m assuming it was the children! Not the hotel’s fault of course but noteworthy. Breakfast was good, served at the table. There were two waiters - a highly experienced man, who was excellent, and another one who was either very inexperienced or having a bad day. Coffee was brought full of grounds and had to be sent back, and my partner’s cooked breakfast was plonked on the table before she’d finished eating some porridge. Not the service I’d expected. Despite our experiences, I would still recommend Amberley Castle as a great place to stay as it oozes charm - and you’re unlikely to have kids bouncing around in the room above you, or meet that particular waiter.
