Top 10 Drovers Hotels

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

The environment is very good, close to the beach, breakfast is also very good, the fly in the ointment is a bit biased! Overall it is a great place for family travel! I will stay again next time!

Pros: - Brilliant service on arrival. - Free room upgrade - excellent room- very clean! - IHG members prize of a free glass of Prosecco - Free treats for the room - Lovely grounds for a nature walk, with deer roaming the site - Breakfast and dinner at the Tudor restaurant was impeccable. Fantastic service and delicious food. Cons: - The swimming pool and jacuzzi are too cold. - The sauna and steam room are quite small and very basic. -The reception of the pool/spa is untidy and cluttered and the service is poor in this area which is unlike the rest of the hotel. - We messaged asking for room service (fresh milk and some ice) and sadly this did not arrive. Overall: would recommend if your priority is the hotel, food and grounds but it is not for you f if you are looking for a pool/spa visit.
