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...See More

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.

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.
