Guest Reviews
Truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. I’m a bit of a B&B snob & this is actually a top tier experience start to finish. Gorgeous house, curated rooms, breakfast was incredible & the attention to detail, amazing. We are already talking about how we can come back next summer! You CANNOT beat this location. Walking distance from the great house (book a tour, BOOK A TOUR)...See More

Crane Beach, Crane Estate, both amazing places to visit, and how awesome is it that you can stay right on property? The Inn at Castle Hill is a cozy, inviting place with comfy rooms, good breakfast, and friendly staff. I brought my wife here for her birthday weekend and we had such a special time. We added on a sunset river kayak tour that was really magical. Your stay...See More

Just finished a two day stay and it was fantastic from start to finish. Gorgeous rooms and main floor with a front porch that looks out over the salt marshes. Staff couldn't be nicer and more helpful. Location amazing on Crane Estate (2100 acres) with easy access to Crane's beach. Took the house tour of Crane Mansion which was very interesting. Can't recommend the Inn at Castle Hill enough...See More

Just what my wife and I were looking for, a well managed, quiet, classy place to relax. Add a very beautiful and interesting property, along with miles of uncrowded amazing sand beach. It was step back In time & provided a Great getaway.

What a delightful stay we had at the Inn at Castle Hill. The peace and serenity just oozed from this ‘now’ special place for us. The staff was exceptional from Camilla to Kathryn to Julia and the ‘chef’ in the kitchen. The breakfast was delicious. Housekeeping did a fantastic job making sure we were well taken care of. Sunrise was spectacular from our window seat in the Florence Room....See More
