Amberley Castle’s idyllic setting beside the River Arun places this medieval survivor in some of the loveliest English countryside at the foot of the South Downs, a land of chalk hills beloved by artists and poets.Feeling serene and secure behind the castle’s portcullis and battlements, many guests venture no farther than the beautiful gardens, which include a putting course, croquet lawn and tennis court. The guest rooms and bathrooms, each individually designed by the Brownsword family, and the fine cuisine of locally sourced and seasonal ingredients join the ambience of cosy elegance to ensure a fantastic stay.
