Fairytale endings: Amberley Castle, West Sussex, UK

Indulge your inner prince (or princess) by booking into moated mediaeval manor Amberley Castle in West Sussex. You'll feel suitably period-drama as you glide up the drive of this British castle and arrive at the main gates and portcullis. Once you've taken in the manicured grounds, ogle the historic furnishings indoors. Ideally stay in the main body of the 19-room castle: Amberley offers sumptuous beds, his 'n' hers bathrooms and a window-seat overlooking the courtyard or intimate Pevensey has its own door to the battlements.
