Welcome to Amberley Castle
Wait up until midnight and
you'll be treated to the spectacle of the awesome two tonne oak
Portcullis being silently lowered for the night.
Hidden away for 900 years near
the picturesque village of Amberley in the chalk South Downs,
Amberley Castle is a magnificent historical treasure that offers
a truly unique experience. Through the Portcullis and 60 ft curtain
walls you will find beautiful landscaped gardens, fine examples
of medieval architecture and an unrivalled atmosphere of peace
and tranquility.
Amberley Castle offers 19 luxurious
hotel bedrooms and suites, many with four-poster beds and all
featuring Jacuzzi bathrooms. The hotel's facilities include two
restaurants, lounge areas, tennis court, croquet lawn, gardens
and lakes, 18-hole professional putting course and a stunning
thatched-roof tree house complete with rope bridge.
The castle is still completely
enclosed by a high curtain wall, which is only flanked by a magnificent
twin-tower gatehouse to the south and a kitchen block and a garderode
tower with gun loops to the north. Square internal towers stood
at the corners, with a small water-gate in the west wall and
a Norman postern in the east wall.
A visit or stay at Amberley
Castle, the finest of luxury hotels in West Sussex, is like stepping
back in time, yet all the modern day luxuries are always available.
