The space
Welcome to Amberlea Japanese Tea House
Nestled in the heart of the English countryside, Amberlea Japanese Tea House is a little slice of Japan, designed to bring you peace, tranquility, and a truly authentic experience.
The tea house itself is a warm and intimate retreat, featuring three thoughtfully designed rooms—a kitchen and dining area, a shower room, and a spacious bedroom/living area with traditional tatami mats and an open irori fire, perfect for cozy evenings.
For those looking to unwind further, our hot tub is set in a separate building on the land, offering a private space to soak while surrounded by nature .
If you’d like to immerse yourself in a full Japanese dining experience, we’d love to prepare something special for you. Whether it’s a delicate sushi platter, comforting ramen, or the subtle flavors of traditional Japanese tea, every meal is crafted with care.
Step outside and enjoy outdoor dining and cooking facilities, where you can take in the fresh air and the beauty of the garden as you relax and connect with nature.
We hope that your time here brings you a sense of calm, inspiration, and unforgettable memories. Welcome to Amberlea—your peaceful retreat.
