Peacocks, including unusual white peacocks, roam the grounds. At night, the gate is closed and the portcullis is lowered, leaving one with a feeling of absolute security. The reception area leads to a warmly paneled library and sitting area. The dining room features vaulted ceilings with lovely wall coverings.
This is not a place to stint on anything - go there and prepare to pamper yourself in luxury. Enter Amberley Castle in your search engine, and you will find more information.
