Location
Located in the picturesque village of Amberley in the beautiful West Sussex countryside, Amberley Castle is a unique luxury hotel steeped in over 900 years of history. With 4 AA red stars, 3 AA rosettes, and a member of Relais & Châteaux, Amberley Castle gives our team the chance to work in a castle with quality and style.
We pay our team a service charge each month. This service charge goes into one pot, and 100% of that service charge is then shared amongst all the team at the hotel. The service charge can be in the region of £300 a month (close to £3,600 per year) over and above base pay, for a full time employee.
The hotel may also be able to offer off‑site staff accommodation in our two staff houses within walking distance to the hotel to help the newest members of the team relocate, so they can settle into life at the hotel and local area in comfort.
