The Inn At Castle Hill

We had an AMAZING experience at Inn at Castle Hill. The rooms were clean and well kept. On our first night there staff overheard me talking about my gluten allergy and when we went to go get coffee, I was pleasantly surprised to see cookies made that were gluten-free just for us! This gesture meant the world to me! They also ensured I had gluten free muffin Available for breakfast. The chef special was delicious and breakfast was also amazing! We are members of trustees and will absolutely be back again! 5 star all around!

Such a special experience staying at Castle Hill. We stayed for three nights in the Tatiana Room and loved how intimate our entire stay was. It was lovely to become familiar with other guests coming and going, to take walks around the expansive property during sunset, to chat daily with the innkeepers. We were appreciative to get great personal recommendations for restaurants and shopping nearby, all from local staff members. We especially enjoyed our afternoon cocktails on the porch and the warm fires in the living room at night. The room itself was quite spacious, the bed and linens were out of this world comfortable, and toiletries were similar quality to the ones we use at home. The included breakfast is a bit limited, but it would not deter us from staying here again. We are very much looking forward to returning and exploring the grounds during a different season. Thank you to the Trustees and Crane Estate!

Beautifully appointed rooms. 24 hour hot beverage in pantry with high quality tea and coffee. High quality breakfast included. The inn has no elevator (3 floors) and one accessible room in the first floor. The heating was a little too strong for me.

Beautiful, cozy, friendly, peaceful and historic; I didn’t want to leave! There’s access to expansive Crane Beach with the softest sand, big dunes and lovely ocean as well as the grand estate with period furnishings, formal gardens, and fabulous out-buildings - so much to see and do. |The breakfast is delicious and sitting on the porch, lawn, or living rooms is perfectly relaxing.

My wife and I just returned from another stay at the Inn at Castle Hill. This has become an annual trip and one of our favorite spots in the world. The location, views, rooms and staff at Castle Hill are superb. Breakfast is a delight every morning, before you explore the beauty of Cape Ann or relax on Crane Beach. There are many convenient amenities. This is a truly peaceful place.

I had an absolutely AMAZING experience at the Inn at Castle Hill! The rooms are so thoughtfully decorated with stunning views. I was in the Teller room, one of the smaller ones on the third floor, and it was so cozy and comfortable! The bathrooms are on the smaller side, but still very manageable, and the whole place is air conditioned during the Summer. The breakfast is amazing and you get a whole bunch of different options, on top of lemonade, iced tea, and cookies served throughout the day. The real special times are before and after the estate opens for the day, because you really feel like you have the place to yourself. I walked up to the mansion for sunset, and it was stunning! They can also help get you booked on guided house or kayak tours, and you get free access to Crane Beach with towels and tote bags! If you’re looking for a peaceful coastal getaway, this is the place!

I loved my stay. I needed time out and foolishly booked for only one night, definitely two the next visit. My room, Mine, was fabulous and the innkeeper was kind enough to give me the history of the name when I asked. I’d booked for a beach concert the first night that was canceled by a wonderful thunderstorm, so I sat in a cozy nook downstairs and read while consuming an excellent cheeseboard. Breakfast the next morning was delicious, some reviewers have called the food ‘home-cooked’ - in my experience home cooks are a bit iffy, if they cook at all, this meal was sensational. I woke early the second morning and went for a walk on Crane beach, but the highlight was coming back and witnessing thousands of swallows on electricity lines, in reeds, and on the road, all preparing for migration. I stopped in awe of miraculous nature. I’m only sad that they are full for Columbus Day :( my bad.

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) and tons of beautiful walking trails. Crane beach is a short 1 min drive & it’s stunning. We cannot get over our experience, well done!
