A must see. The castle is huge and very interesting to visit. One can see the different periods of time of its occupation. The interiors exhibit very well reconstructed rooms. The garden is very rich and diverse. The stumpery was our favorite part, in particular thanks to the autumn colours. Full tour of the castle and gardens took us about 3 hours.

Stunning castle for history, art, and design lovers! Walking through the castle and keep felt like entering one of my many childhood drawings. The weather was lovely and the gardens made me si happy—there are greenhouses to visit, a rose garden, ponds, and so many wonderful interiors for a great day trip from London. Thank you!

Such an incredible experience! Visiting from the states, so I don't get a lot of castle tours, but this one was simply exceptional. From the gardens, to the castle tour, to the guides, and the cafe, we left with an amazing experience and tons of stunning shots! Highly recommend planning for a sunny day to enjoy the beautiful gardens. Truly an unforgettable experience! The setups were stunning to see and the staff was more than friendly and informative. Plus, the food was great! We shared a sausage roll and pasty, but ate it too quickly to snap a photo! If you're in the area, or wanting to make a day trip to the south, can't suggest Arundel further! It took us three to four hours to clear the grounds and castle altogether- it's worth the ticket!

Lovely place. Bit pricey, but the castle and grounds are huge, so you can spend most of the day there. It's really well set up, with a specific route that takes you through the whole castle and learn about its history. The gardens are equally stunning. Great visit. Would recommend.

Google's 50 picture limit means I can't show you the superior quality of this place. My favourite castle in the country, somewhere I've always wanted to visit, and by a long way the best one I've ever been to. I loved every second of being in here, I'd do it all again. The Duke of Norfolk is a very lucky man, to own this place must be a very special experience.

11th century castle has impressive grounds and you can explore the castle. Very informative volunteers who are happy to showcase the part of the castle they are located in. Beautiful gardens. The gift shop is lovely. One of the first houses to be fitted with electrical lights. Closes soon in early November

The most beautiful castle I've ever been too. Have visited before pre baby and did the whole castle, but attended again recently to visit the gardens only as had the baby in the pram which is not accessible in the castle for prams. It was absolutely stunning and better than I remembered. Looked extra lovely in the sunshine. Gardens were beautiful. The garden cafe was great, friendly lady there. Toilets also clean and spacious. We also met the lovely little puppy Titus who was wondering the grounds with it's owner.

One of the best dining out experiences we’ve had, full stop. The atmosphere cosy and romantic but also lively, the food exemplary and the staff were a breath of fresh air to be honest. Watching the 3 or 4 waiting team work together was fabulous. They worked really well as a team, they were constantly on it, energised and attentive. Rather than the usual set up of one waiter/waitress allocated to a set of tables, they all looked after everyone and no one was without a menu, drink or bill when it was needed. Super massively impressed with everything. It was our wedding anniversary dinner and Butlers really made it so for that we thank you, praise you and highly recommend you to any couple or group wanting a very, very good dinner out. What a charm in a charming town. Will be back!

A wonderful evening, beautiful food and friendly service. We had the specials and off the menu and every dish was beautifully presented, delicious and individual in its own right. Will definitely be coming again. A special thank you to Sasha, who was just lovely x

Fabulous meal. Really pleased we ate here. The food was stunning and beautifully prepared. Excellent value for money and friendly service in a stylish venue. Will definitely be back.

Great restaurant with decent "nouvell cuisine" food, just the right size. We don't usually have 3 courses, but because the portions were just right... we did. They also have an outside area for those who want a private chat and perhaps a cigarette or 2. Highly recommended, booking essential. It's a shame they have had problems with customers not turning up for bookings lately as that can affect the atmosphere.

Decided to eat here for valentine's day, what a lovely meal it was. Superb ingredients and fillet steak cooked to perfection. Staff very attentive and friendly with a complimentary rose for the girlfriend when departing. A lovely experience overall and will be returning to taste their regular menu! 😄

Fantastic meal. Really enjoyed it at Butlers. The staff were great, atmosphere was perfect, food was tasty, well presented and reasonably priced. Asian pork belly to start followed by the cod/monkfish.

Well what can I say? A lot actually. Visited on a Friday eve for my birthday and was blown away by the service and the food. Asian BBQ pork and the Marinated chicken was prepared to perfection and made for a very filling starter and main course. Others in my party had vegatarian options and two servings of scallops (dish of the day) followed by the cod. All meals were well received. Throw in a bottle of wine and the perfect night was had. Didn't have enough room to fit one of the delectable sounding deserts but the complimentary dessert I received for my birthday was nicer than I had expected. 9/10 would recommend.

What a gem hidden in Arundel! We went for the 2 courses and it was well worth it. Delicious light dishes that leave you feeling satiated without feeling greasy. I would definitely recommend the salmon for the starter and the catch of the day was the perfect second course. The reason I have given the 4 stars instead of the 5 is due to the lack of goats cheese on my starter but that’s personal preference! Give it a try and see what you think.

This was a great surprise… Lunch at The Parsons Table in Arundel. The seasonal food was fantastic. Innovative, tasty, well presented. There’s real talent here. Friendly service which was both professional and informative. The dining room was small, with a nice vibe. I could have eaten everything on the menu which was complemented by a number of ‘specials’ too. And the warm treacle tart with lemon thyme & passionfruit ripple ice cream the best I’ve ever had. A real stand out amongst many. Three courses for £39.50 is an absolute bargain for cooking of this level. Worth the trip out of London, which combined with a tour around Arundel makes for an excellent day out. Highly recommended.

We chose The Parsons Table based on their previous reviews and we were not disappointed. We chose the 3 course set menu and every course was 10/10. Liz and her front of house team offered fantastic service too. We would highly recommend.

A delicious and welcoming restaurant with great, helpful, staff a lovely atmosphere and amazing food that looked and tasted divine! Reasonable prices too for what you get! Definitely one to come back again and visit! ☺️

We had an exceptional dining experience at the restaurant. The fish starter and main course I had were prepared brilliantly, showcasing outstanding skill, quality and flavor. The service was highly attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Their gluten-free bread was the best I’ve ever had. The wine list was impressive, offering excellent choices. While the cost is on the higher side, it’s absolutely worth it for the quality and experience. Highly recommend!

This restaurant has a quiet professional air that exudes class and refinement. From the owners through the staff it offers fine dining at the highest level. The menu changes, supplemented by daily specials that make this the best (??) restaurant in West Sussex. Savoy trained owner Head Chef through to his Front of House wife, this is a dining experience of refinement at the highest level. I've travelled to 43 countries. Eaten in so called 5* + restaurants all over from Hong Kong to Vancouver. This ranks with the finest. Alongside La Maison Blanche in Paris. Cheap? No. Very classy? Oh yes. Food? Unparalleled in my view. Michelin? Wake up! Tony Perrin, West Sussex.

A restaurant i can only describe as faultless. It's warm, cosy, nicely laid out without too many covers and the ceiling is (stylishly) covered in acoustic dampening panels which makes hearing your own table easy - something many restaurants neglect i find. The food was utterly incredible, and perhaps, the best "bang for your buck" food ive eaten in the last decade. The pulled shoulder of lamb special i ate was possibly the best main course i've ever eaten, period. Eating out is our guilty pleasure, and despite visiting numerous Michellin stars around the country, all things considered, Parsons Table comfortably enters my top 3 restaurants in the UK. We can't wait to visit again next month.

Really lovely pub, nice aesthetic. Good outdoor seating and beer garden. Really friendly and helpful staff. Food was lovely. Set us up perfectly for our walk to Arundel!

A beautiful pub with beautiful (and tasty) meals. Thursday dinner was not overly busy at 7pm. The sea bass was exceptional, the pasta special was creamy and flavourful. The Ale was fresh, the cider on tap was Inch's and yes they had a good New Zealand Sauv Blanc. The staff was fun (and patient while we tried to choose our meals from the many nicely described options)

First off great location. An old traditional English pub, with a perfect interior, low ceilings, open fire and a great atmosphere. The food is exceptional. Hats off to whoever cooked my starter. White bread salad perfect. Best meal I have had in west Sussex my a long way. Also a shout-out to the the staff who made my experience here revolutionary and will be back soon.

We came to dine here twice while staying at the Riverside Lodges just over the road. The food and service was flawless, the portions were generous and all our meals were fresh and delicious! We had the beef burger, halloumi brioche, stuffed chicken pasta and sea bass, plus some starters. The food and drinks are very good value for the price you pay. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Food is amazing I had the beef burgers 🍔 and a few pints of Inches cider. Can only give 5 stars but would give 10 stars.

Had some great food here. Staff really nice and friendly. Food was plentiful and lovely setting. Will be coming back.

Lovely cosy pub by an old bridge. Had a great local pint and delicious burger. Staff super friendly and clearly care about the place.

What a wonderful place! Lots to see and do. Be prepared to spend so.e time wondering around all the different museums, each dedicated to a specific technology and its development through time. Well worth it. We will go again.

Top day out. Easy to get to from Amberley railway station. The exhibits are hugely varied and the nature walks are very pretty. The electricity barn was the most interesting. Lots of volunteers and crafts people around to explain the exhibits. The ride on the train is short but fun. The main cafe was a bit tired inside and could have had more cake choices on offer, but friendly service nonetheless.

We had a lovely day here for their recent steampunk event, there’s so much to see we don’t have time for it all and lots of interactive features set in a beautiful location. They have an onsite cafe with a great menu for all dietary needs.

A good amount of the site and exhibits are wheelchair accessible. Lots of interesting information to read at leisure while the younger visitors explore. Great for a family visit with grandparents and fairly priced .

An amazing working museum suitable for all ages. Lots of fascinating artefacts and pieces of history, with knowledgeable volunteers happy to help. A great day out with lots of different sections to visit. Unfortunately when we attended a few of of the workshops were closed but there was still more than enough to see. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a day out to visit Amberley! Please note the car park is FREE when you register in the museum, don’t get caught out!!!

An amazing place, the staff were extremely nice. Expecially the staff in the printing Workshop and the printing were top quality and cheap. The old trains and the buses are a must to go on whilst there. And the food at the limeburners cafe was delicious. However, there is so many options for improvement to make the place better. Now I'm not saying its bad, its a great place and I would highly recommend it. Yet they could have an oldern style sweet shop where the people can watch them make the sweets and purchase if they wish, Or have live actors in the streets, playing oldern characters something to entise people to come back as there isnt much to entise people to wanting to come back.

Just back from a super day at Amberley museum. Had a lovely time wondering back in time with my wife. Super place to visit, suprised how quiet it was for a weekend. Stopped off at the café had a lovely jacket spud each. Prices were very good. Free parking as well. Staff all were clearly very passionate about the museum. Highly recommend you visit.

Booking for 4 bike riders across the South Downs. No one was available to let us into the house (after 8 hours riding - 5pm on Friday evening arrival). After waiting until 5:50 we made other plans and requested a refund. Very confrontational approach from the host. No refund offered. Got the feeling we were expected to fit in around their social plans. Can’t rate the rooms as we didn’t stay in one. Avoid.

Close to the South Downs Way, we were so happy to stay in this lovely old farmhouse. The walkable pubs/restaurants were closed for the evening and Kate's husband was so very kind to get us to Arundel for dinner in the midst of running his errands. We had an amazingly delicious breakfast in the gorgeous dining room. It was so handy to be able to purchase packed lunches for our next day's hike. The room was so comfortable and we slept like babies. A fabulous place to stay - highly recommend!

The perfect stop along the South Downs Way. A beautiful property with the most comfortable bed in a lovely room. Top notch breakfast too. Thank you Kate and Tim for the warm welcome!

Lovely house, great breakfast and very kind hosts. Really enjoyed staying there

A must visit when in Amberley. Walk through the pottery to the showroom at the back. An array of beautiful pieces, all reasonably priced. Caroline, the potter, is lovely. I am so glad I bought a beautiful, unique swan plate which I know I will cherish for years

Visited sometime ago and purchased several quality pieces. Great memories, great purchases and a haven for those who love handmade pottery. Only wish they sold online as I am now in America.

Lovely local Pottery and paintings.

A wonderful pottery workshop in the idyllic village Amberley. Worth a visit and definitely worth buying some of the beautiful handcrafted items on offer.

Informal and quirky. You walk through the potters workroom to get to the merchandise in the back room.

Caroline is extremely helpful and makes lots of gorgeous pieces.

Lovely place and the owner is very helpful

A charming village store, trading on, and selling with pride, local produce. Not cheap, but it's a village shop, selling local produce. I was particularly impressed by the array of "Amberley Village Stores" pickles and preserves (pictures attached). So much so I spent £10.20 on 3 small jars: good value for home produce. Although I was sorely disappointed with the factory produced gloop inside the jars, that was nothing compared to my ire at being taken for a mug. Bramble Foods Ltd., of Leicestershire, which actually produces this slop on a bucolic industrial estate, boasts on its website "Most of our Bramble range can be personalised with your own label… AT NO EXTRA COST!". So it is no accident that these preserves are presented so as to give the impression of being locally produced. Shame on you, Amberley, for taking advantage of naive idiots like me. It wouldn't happen in Ambridge.

Lovely local shop, very friendly and helpful staff and well stocked shop. We pre-ordered some sandwiches from them when cycling the South Downs Way and stopped off here as it is about half way. Sandwiches and other goodies were ready and waiting when we arrived. Wish there were more shops like this around. Also had an amazing selection of tomatoes.

Convenient store in Amberley town, one and only. Many snack, wine, drinks, grocery you are looking for are here. The staff is super friendly.

Lovely store, unexpectedly wide range, run by kind people, freshly baked bread, bio veggies etc. Recommended!

I stopped here while walking the south downs way. It was about 3/4 mile from the main trail. They were extremely friendly and had everything I needed, including food for lunch and dinner, as well as sunblock. I also got tips from the people who worked there about the walk ahead. I would recommend it as a stopping point for anyone who needs a quick resupply of food and basic supplies while walking. The village itself was also very charming.

We needed supplies for walking the South Downs Way and they had great choices. Fully recommend

Great sandwiches, friendly staff,and lots of choice.

Excellent food in an upmarket countryside pub. Dining room was relaxed and cozy. Staff were attentive and helpful. Menu had lots of local produce. Gnocchi was tasty but very small for a main (and the price). Other dishes were also on the expensive side.

We ate a phenomenal dinner here. Each dish was the best we'd ever eaten of that type of dish. I especially loved the risotto (fresh, original, and just all around delicious) and pie. The fish was the most tender I've ever tried. At the end, the chef came out to have a chat with us and his passion and expertise is clear. It translated into an incredible food experience. WOW!

Everything was delightful! Wedding rehearsal dinner, breakfast and supper in the charming first floor were excellent - food, service and ambiance. The room upstairs overlooked the village street, bed very comfortable and bath area very clean, modern - housekeeping efficient and pleasant. If I were in the area I would definitely return to the Black Horse!

We had the most fab night at the horse tonight, Grace and her colleagues were amazing. We loved the chats. Then the food just superb, not a once jus left on our plates the duck was heavenly. Thank you Black horse for another fabulous local evening.

We stayed at Black Horse Amberley for a few days. The rooms are comfortable and the service is wonderful! Breakfast was perfect and the staff are friendly and attentive. Beautiful countryside setting and the town is like stepping back in time. Don’t miss this gem for a stay or just for a meal and a drink. We would absolutely stay here again!

Really disappointed on my visit on sunday 12th October, visit here semi regularly but this visit has put me off returning. The food was good as it always is, but the service was appaling... Waited an age at the bar to get drinks as the girl there was continually making drinks for those already seated... When we finalky for served and made our way to our table the waitress took an age to take our order.... When the food arrived rhe server had forgotten what food was what so had to take it back to the kitchen to help with identifying the meals.... I ordered a coke mid was through the meal as inwas designated driver, when it arrives it was pale brown fizzy water... I asked the waitress if she could swap it for me, we finished the meal... And waited... And waited.... And waited... 30mins later the waitress came back and askwd if i had been given a replacement drink (shouldnt ahe know that, she was our waitress afterall)... Some more waiting and my cocke finally arrived, but everyone is wqs long since finished with everything. Then none of the staff seemed to be interested in giving us the bill... And they have the cheek to automatically add service on the bill. Im afraid i wont fo back, plenty of other places, with better service, for bettter value. Shame

Great Restaurant, lovely food and service in cosy environment. We sat at the chefs table so had a great few of all the dishes coming out of the kitchen. I had the roast monkfish with linguine and samphire which was delicious.

Divine

Great food, great service and totally at awe with the amazing atmosphere. The decor is a fine touch to add to the place with such lovely experience. Definitely highly recommended. Been back couple of times and very impressed the standards remain the same every time.

Six of us had our lunch here today. Absolutely beautiful location sitting on the terrace overlooking the river. Food was excellent - who knew a crispy aubergine could be that good 😊. Decor inside and out is just lovely. Service is relaxed and friendly and very kindly they moved our table to keep us out of the sun - much appreciated . Will def return.

Wow! Can’t believe we haven’t been here before! Best food experience we’ve had for a very long time. Stunning decor and location. Very welcoming staff. All engaging and friendly. Delightful menu. We had clams and stuffed courgettes flowers for our starters. Excellent portion sizes, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. For mains we had lobster spaghetti and their special Tuscany pizza. Spaghetti was very tasty with loads of sauce. Pizza was lovely a crispy. For dessert we shared their frangipane which was amazing. Everything is so fresh and light. Can’t wait to come again with friends and family.

Came here after a lovely walk around the Amberley hills. The venue is situated well, with lovely views of the surrounding area. The food was excellent, I had steak and my wife had mackerel and we were both really happy. The staff were friendly. I particularly liked the cool breeze that the pub garden receives at the rear of the pub on a hot day like this one! Top notch!

Visited with my partner last night. The decor and the atmosphere were lovely with beautiful outdoor seating. The waitresses were friendly however it was not very busy and our food took over an hour to arrive and cost £70 for 2 pizzas, fries and a 1 small glass of Prosecco as they add a £12.5% service charge on top. Food was not worth the wait.

I would like to highlight the most important thing in this place, it is service. Now, those days it is such an important for both side as a business to be recommended. I have met with very high quality customer service in "The Boathouse Amberley". Besides, wonderful atmosphere, good food. Highly recommend. (P.s. all young ladies - waitresses been amazing, during busy time, look after you very well, with genuine smile. Well, done for great service). Thank You

What an absolute delight to find a place that understands interior design and top quality food. We visited a while back over a busy sunny weekend and couldn’t get in so returned yesterday with friends for a delightful long lunch. From start to finish it was amazing and the food couldn’t have been fresher! All cooked to perfection with generous portions, non of the crazy tasting menu stuff that drives me crazy! The menu changes monthly I believe. I had the monkfish tail for mains and it didn’t disappoint, absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. All tables have been set out well and considered. We all had a lovely view of the river and then moved to the sofa area for our coffees after. I wish I had taken some pictures but we were all too busy enjoying ourselves so I’ve shared some form their website. I really recommend the house white wine (organic and available by the glass) went perfectly with the monkfish. We will definitely return, would love to see it at night also as the lighting has been set out to make for a gorgeous glowing restaurant. Cant fault this place at all. Book it you won’t regret it.
