We spent two nights at Amberley Castle. It is a remarkable quaint building oozing with history. Being a castle the rooms are perhaps a little smaller than average but that is part of the quaintness and character. The whole place is beauttifully maintained. Apart from the building itself there are gorgeous grounds and the neighbouring village of Amberley is a picture postcard delight. The staff in the hotel were exceptional, particularly Michael and Henny and the food is everything you would expect of a 5 star hotel

Ah, the Roundabout hotel, a place where chaos reigns supreme and the guests are left questioning their decision to stay. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a server who seemed to have no knowledge of the menu or the concept of basic customer service. When we inquired about the roast beef, she simply shrugged her shoulders and mumbled something about it being ”tougher than a retired drill sergeant.” (Well maybe she was thinking that, as it turned out it was tough). The roast beef was changed without argument for the chicken... oh but we have no more chicken so it will have to be the gammon.... And don't even get me started on the chef. Instead of being in the kitchen, creating delicious meals for the guests, we found him sitting in an office chair at reception, watching footbal loudly and ignoring the chaos that was unfolding in the dining room. Needless to say, the lack of attention to detail was apparent in every aspect of our dining experience. But it's not all doom and gloom at the Roundabout hotel. The decor may be outdated and the service may be subpar, but the entertainment value is truly unmatched. From the wacky interactions between the staff to the never-ending mishaps that occur on a daily basis, you can't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. So if you're in the mood for a good laugh and don't mind sacrificing a bit of quality in exchange for entertainment, then the Roundabout hotel is the place for you. Just make sure to bring your own dinner rolls, because the roast beef is definitely a no-go.

We had our wedding breakfast and reception at the Norfolk Arms, and we couldn't be happier. Everything went as well as we could have possibly hoped for, both leading up to and especially on the day. They met and exceeded our expectations, with both the food and service being exemplary and the staff being eager and available any time we needed anything. Especially we were grateful for, when faced with a difficult situation with two of our elderly guests, they bent over backwards to accommodate them and we are extremely pleased with how they handled it. I also have to single out their wedding planner who did amazing work, and we were suitably impressed by her dedication and attention to detail. Without her, and the rest of the staff, the day would not have been the success it ended up being. Of course we were also happy with the room, which had a quaint and historic charm that we hope to be able to more properly enjoy at a future date. Our guests who stayed the night were all happy with the accomodations as well as the breakfast on the following day.
