Welcome
The Inn is nestled within the spectacular Crane Estate also known as “Castle Hill” and encompasses more than 2,100 acres in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Snug beds, complimentary gourmet breakfasts, and a warm staff anticipate your arrival. Take tea on the veranda and gaze across the spectacular coastline. Read quietly upon a sun-bathed window seat. Stroll along the miles of shoreline or pursue a range of outdoor adventures. Reconnect with your loved one. Reconnect with yourself. All this and more are part of your stay. All ten rooms at the Inn are uniquely furnished and many feature stunning views over the salt marshes, sand dunes, and Atlantic Ocean. Though no two rooms are alike, all promise a great night's sleep and the excitement of waking up in the magical world that is Castle Hill.
