The quality of the materials used and the execution of the renovation were the best I have ever seen. It was expensive to stay but worth it and the village it is located in is gorgeous. Well worth walking around.

It was in good proximity of the South Downs Way. The options of dinner and breakfast was really good. I think breakfast could be an included rather than an avaliable feature of the stay. Offer a package deal for customers having the entire dinner, accommodation and breakfast (having a smaller set menu). The wetroom bathroom was a clever function to the en-suite.

Stay at Black Horse
Nice hotel and staff. Good food. Breakfast menu could do with being explained a little better and also having to pay for teas and coffees as these were not included in the breakfast was not good. We were in a “cosy double” which was fine but would have been even better if they removed the chair and added a chest of drawers or some shelves.

Located about a mile from the station and close to the South Downs way in a very pretty village of thatched cottages.
Check in is strictly not before 3pm.
Loved our attic room. Gorgeous decor. Super comfy bed. Very welcome after hiking for a couple of days.
Staff lovely. Evening meal excellent.
Breakfast not included in our room rate so we skipped it and headed home early.
Pub is upmarket with a 'Pig' hotel vibe.
Would definitely come back for another visit as we're pretty local.

Mellow bar & restaurant, got there 9 mins before the kitchen closed, so didn't spend much time looking at the menu. Food good if a bit salty.
Nice garden/breakfast room and a good outdoor area at back, lovely place to stretch out on a summer's evening.
Staff helpful.
Bathroom a bit cramped.

Lovely hotel pub - definitely recommended!
The Black Horse is absolutely lovely. Our room was spacious with comfy a super-king size bed and nice bathroom. It was all super clean. Nice tea and coffee is available to the rooms with fresh milk from the 'coffee station'. Being in a village, it's also quiet at night. One thing to note is that it's road parking as the pub does not have a car park.
All the staff were friendly. The dinner was excellent and we had a lovely breakfast too, with fruit, yoghurt, pastries, full English and vegetarian options too.
Arundel is a short drive away. It's easy to walk to the South Downs for a hike along the ridge.

Wonderful stay
This is an all round great place to stay, eat and relax. The only thing that Hotels.com need to do is show that The Black Horse is in Amberley, not Arundel!
