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.

Well worth the price tag in every way.
