Fodor's Expert Review Amberley Castle
Bury Hill, Off B2139, Amberley, West Sussex, BN18 9LT, England Fodor's Choice
Enter under the portcullis of this genuine medieval castle, where across the moat, present-day luxury dominates. Antiques and rich draperies furnish the individually designed bedrooms, and many have lattice windows, beamed ceilings, and curtained four-posters. You can dine (£65 for three courses) in the Queens restaurant, beneath a 12th-century barrel-vaulted ceiling, or amid suits of armor in the Great Room. The hotel is 5 miles north of Arundel.
PROS
- sleep in a real castle
- lovely gardens and grounds
- good afternoon tea
CONS
- you have to dress up for dinner
- a little way from Arundel town
- almost have to be as rich as an actual king to stay here
