Was very excited to visit amber house as seen good reviews but was very disappointed,dated rooms that are in desperate need of a deep clean,water bottle Lid thick With black gunk,dusty pictures and rails,the shower had lots of black mould,wardrobe falling to bits and there was a strange smell to everything,poured milk into tea at breakfast for it instantly curdle and the breakfast itself was almost inedible,the host herself is an absolute delight,very pleasant and welcoming but I feel the place is a massive let down and needs to up its standards, a real shame

We stayed at this lovely B&B in the village of Alrewas while visiting relatives in Burton. The room was lovely and very comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities, a big shower cubicle and beautiful furnishings, see my photo of the 1948 London Olympics teapot. However, what sets this B&B apart is your hostess, Gill. We were greeted with a warm friendly smile. The wall in the dining room is covered with certificates of all colours (Bronze, Silver and mainly Gold) awarded for hygiene, training and particularly the delicious breakfast you will be served in the morning. Everything from fruit, porridge, full English, lighter breakfast. The eggs are from Gill's chickens the meat products are all locally sourced (zero miles clocked up in their production or delivery). The jams/marmalade/chutneys etc are varied and different and are home made by Gill. On the table please read the info - she will bake you a loaf of bread with 24 hours notice, packed lunches can be arranged. Gill also offers dinner if requested in advance - a good menu is supplied in the dining room. If you choose to eat out 10 minutes walk away is the picturesque village of Alrewas with flower-decked half timbered houses 3 pubs, a big Co-op and a fish & chip shop. We went to the Crown (see separate review). Gill told us that at least one of the houses dates back to Henry VIII! This B&B is not perfect, and would probably attract criticism if you are being all 'Four in a Bed' about it - a little dusty in places and getting the temperature of the shower right was a bit of a challenge However, I haven't reviewed everything that is wonderful about Amber House because it is brilliant. I've left something for you to discover for yourself.
