The Inn At Castle Hill

Crane Beach, Crane Estate, both amazing places to visit, and how awesome is it that you can stay right on property? The Inn at Castle Hill is a cozy, inviting place with comfy rooms, good breakfast, and friendly staff. I brought my wife here for her birthday weekend and we had such a special time. We added on a sunset river kayak tour that was really magical. Your stay at the inn includes complimentary beach parking or you can take a 1/2 mile trail walk if you don’t have much to carry in. No need to worry about reserving a coveted beach pass in addition to booking your room. Also, being a member of The Trustees will give you a decent discount on the room and extra activities like the kayaking, house tour, etc. I definitely recommend this place. Given all the amenities and beautiful, quiet location it is definitely worth the price.

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.

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!

Most lovely Inn with beautiful rooms, delicious breakfast and cookies! The staff are lovely , we have spent 4 Thanksgiving’s there and hope for many more!

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!

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.

Been staying at the inn since it's opening and return as often as possible each year. Staff is wonderful seeming like family members concerned for our comfort. We grew up in the area and going to the inn is going home in the most comforting of ways - besides, you will find no better fried clams on the planet than those found in Essex and Ipswich!

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.
