The Amberley Inn is a lovely characterful property, the staff are friendly and helpful. We had a room with a four poster bed, which was comfortable. The views of the hills and valleys was superb, with the cows wandering over the common right outside. The bathroom is a bit tired and the shower could do with updating. The breakfast was very tasty and they obviously use quality ingredients.

We enjoyed our stay here. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning in the room. A small fan was provided for us but was not blowing too much air so our sleep was impacted. Other than this it is a great hotel, with a great surrounding views of the countryside and friendly staff.

Extremely welcoming staff and a beautiful setting. The inn decor feels a little tired but was a wonderful crash pad for us for a weekend trip

Nice building from the outside. Dining and bar area full of character. Outside area renovated. But inside is severely behind the times and it shows throughout. Very dated.

Spotless room, silent nights sleep, lovely hilltop location. Goulash in the restaurant was superb (chef is Hungarian), Brekkie was also top notch with all types of eggs. I ate in a lovely nook with fire.

All aspects of our stay was really good. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and there was a nice choice of wines and beers. However, the bathroom was poor. The shower head had a make-shift fix to keep the head up which could not be adjusted. The towel rail was disconnected and hence the bathroom was very cold.

The food was very good, and a great price. The staff were awesome. The room was fine, a bit old fashioned. The bathroom could use some modernizing. The water in the shower would not stay hot.

The Amberley is a beautiful, atmospheric old building and the staff were courteous and very helpful.
The building does, however, need a bit more love and attention and some of the fittings are in need of repair. The food was a little uninspiring for the price and our room too small for anything other than a one night stay with very little storage space for clothes.
However the location was great in a lovely area and I would visit again.

A great little hotel

A great spot to explore the Cotswolds from. A highlight was the cows right outside on the common. Poached eggs were slightly overdone at breakfast but the omelette was fantastic.

We stayed at the inn for one night, and had a wonderful welcome from James . The breakfast was superb, as was the evening meal. Our room was comfortable. The Amberley is a beautiful building, set an a lovely location. We would stay again since this was a very restful location. The team at the Amberley are absolutely wonderful. Even tapped our door to remind us to come down for breakfast before we missed it. This is going the extra mile, as far as I'm concerned. I would go back for the breakfast, it was lovely.

Lovely atmosphere with old world charm. However, In places the decor was tired and redecoration was required. The public rooms seemed to be not quite fully furnished or finished and somewhat bare. Whilst the staff were at all times pleasant and polite no person made any effort to engage me in conversation. As a lone traveller that meant I eat all my meals in silence in rooms that had no background music playing. It was a lonely experience. Several times I had to wait over ten minutes at the front desk for staff to appear and provide service.

The staff were lovely and the location is wonderful. But the room we had is very small for a double and the bathroom was icy cold. The electric towel rail helped but, in early January, it was just not enough.
That said, we'll go back in the summer.

Bags of potential in this well-positioned inn.

The Amberley Inn has bags of character if it is a little faded in appearance. Its situation is excellent with views over open country. The reception was friendly, rooms were clean, breakfast was well-cooked if the ancilliary elements were rather thin. With investment, this could prove a real star and could command much higher prices.

Well placed hotel on edge of Minchinhampton Common. Car parking OK, but along side main road in lay-by. Room adequate, simply but well furnished. Bathroom fine. No mobile phone signal, but hotel WiFi OK (and free).
Breakfast excellent, using locally sourced ingredients - not mass produced sausages as an example.
All staff friendly, helpful, and happy.
Would stay again if need to be in area.

Quaint country inn

The greeting and welcome was friendly. We were offered a drink while they put together a camp bed for our (25 yr old) daughter, which turned out to be a blow up mattress on the floor of the sitting room in our room! There was a two seater sofa....this should have been a sofa bed for such occasions as an accompanying child or third person. Needless to say, it was an uncomfortable night for her. The room was beautifully decorated and new. But the shower was a small old rusty head that squirted hard spray at you. Very unsatisfying, and the pillows, although we were assured that they were new, had a funny smell that was hard to ignore when you lay on them. Dinner and breakfast at the inn were exceptional and we really enjoyed the quiet country surroundings. We took long walks and played our backgammon in the beer garden before dinner. Would definitely return if they get a new shower head and change the pillows. They did listen to and noted our comments when we checked out. All in all, an nice place.
