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.

Stayed for a wedding weekend and absolutely loved it inside and out. Great staff, beautiful setting. Comfortable rooms with lovely views. Resident turkeys for added entertainment. Great morning run on Cranes Beach.
