How to Spend a Fall Weekend on the North Shore of Massachusetts | Vogue

"The best place to stay is at The Inn at Castle Hill on the Crane Estate. Located in the coastal town of Ipswich, the Inn sits on a corner of the 2,100-acre property known as The Crane Estate. Once the original farmhouse on the property, the inn was converted into a 10-room bed and breakfast in 2000 and renovated in 2014. The vibe exudes Massachusetts charm, with each room decorated in a unique design scheme—ours was a study in that New England classic: toile. Direct access to one of the loveliest beaches in the area, Crane Beach, is included in your stay, as is a hearty breakfast each morning. Before making the trip to the Inn, we stocked up on charcuterie and cheese from Cambridge’s superlative Formaggio Kitchen), and spent evenings on-site sipping wine, noshing on pâté, and playing Scrabble—the makings of a small town idyll." - Leah Bhabha

We had a lovely anniversary visit to The Inn. Our first time. The views were spectacular and the rooms large and comfortable. The Inn staff were very helpful and attentive. We enjoyed the snacks on the porch each afternoon and having the beach so close was a real treat. I love breakfast and the food was wonderful. The servers were so nice and fun to talk to. Definitely coming back.

My wife and I have been visiting the Inn each summer for several years. The rooms are wonderfully charming and comfortable. Daily breakfast is always delicious and relaxing. The Inn offers many lovely amenities including, of course, the beaches, as well as bicycles, croquet, covered porch with beautiful view, Tesla charger, afternoon cookies, evening chocolate,…. And the staff is always cheerful and accommodating. It is a great getaway and perfect venue to celebrate our yearly wedding anniversary.

I had my bridesmaids stay at the Inn at Castle Hill for my wedding in September. They absolutely loved it! The rooms were beautiful, the scenery was breathtaking and the staff was superb! We got ready for the wedding at the Tavern and it was such a great experience.

The Inn at Castle Hill is a true gem. Sensational location, comfortable and beautiful interior, wonderful breakfasts and amenities. Thought was given to everything from the beach bags and towels for guest use, the reading material, the afternoon treats. The innkeeper went above and beyond to help us with our planning, too. Well worth the price tag in every way.

What a beautiful B & B! We were hoping for a quiet, quaint and beautiful setting and found it. The grounds of the Crane Estate are breathtaking and easy to explore. It was a cool evening and the fireplace downstairs in the inn was a welcoming area to sit and meet other guests. We stayed in the Tatiana Suite which we found to be very inviting and comfortable. The bedding was luxurious and the bathroom was stocked with nice shampoos and lotions. Julia at the front desk was very helpful and informative and the breakfast served was fabulous.

The Inn at Castle Hill is a special place. The views of the the marsh and Crane's Beach are spectacular. Our room was comfortable and homey and our daily breakfast was wonderful. It was a wonderful few days away.

We had a wonderful overnight stay at the inn. The people working there were welcoming, gracious and very helpful. We walked on the beach, took a fun tour of the Crane estate castle, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast provided by the inn. They were very helpful with arranging a private guided kayak tour for us which I highly recommend.

Gorgeous property and views all around. We stayed in the Tatiana room which was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and we loved the cookie treats in the afternoon. The welcoming fire in the fireplace added to its charm! We stayed here 20 years ago and loved it all over again. Proximity to Cape Ann, Newburyport and Plum Island were wonderful.
