Amberley Castle
West Sussex, United Kingdom[view map]
- Style
- Moated mediaeval retreat
- Setting
- Scenic Sussex
Glide up the gravel drive to Amberley Castle, and you'll feel suitably period-drama as you arrive at the main gates and portcullis. Even if when it comes to hotel interiors, you can't help but line up on the side of modernist edict 'less is more', you will be appeased by the historical Sussex setting, good taste of the furnishings and Amberley's incredible grounds.
