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 The decor may be outdated and the service may be subpar, but the entertainment value is truly unmatched.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 fancied a night away and noticed the Autumn break offer. This was - 1 nights stay, 2 course dinner and breakfast. Total cost £149 which sounds like great value right well… We upgraded to have a room in the main hotel for £4 extra, and wish we hadn’t bothered. This was old, tired looking and probably needed redecorating. Off to dinner we went..the menu sounded ok but this is where things went wrong. I went for the Hanger steak. However this was inedible, it was so chewy you simply couldn’t get through it. Which lead me no option but to complain. There were no waitresses/waiters about so I reported to reception. The young lady on reception desk was very apologetic and said she would ask someone to see me. A few minutes later a waiter appeared and understood my issue but the best he could offer me was two free drinks, this was because there was no management onsite or contactable, it was now too late for another main meal to be cooked appropriately. He said he would go away and try and work something out but. After a while he returned and the best he could do was give us the bottle of wine we had free of charge and free overnight parking (£7:50). By this time I was really hungry so accepted his offer and we ate somewhere else. I find it shocking that no management were available to deal with these sort of situations, it shouldn’t be left to inexperienced staff members like this. Hence I don’t expect we will return.
