“I will return to Castle Hill Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

I was at Castle Hill Inn for a business trip and was delighted by the staff, hotel, room, dining room. Food is excellent. At breakfast, I recommend the lobster hash. For dinner at the bar, try the hamburger, it is superb! I am planning to return at Castle Hill for summer vacations. Highly recommended.

Room Tip: My room was in the main building and I was really satisfied. But there are also chalets near the sea...

“Slice of Heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

We absolutely love going to Castle Hill and dread leaving. It truly is a slice of heaven with it's unbelievable views not to mention being located on a peninsula. We typically visit during the winter off-season to really get away from it all. The beach cottages/houses are comfortable and nicely decorated and who can beat waking up with a view of the water? The property is immaculately groomed and the breakfast/afternoon tea service are delicious....not to mention the evening turn down service with chocolate chip cookies. The staff at Castle Hill do such a great job making you comfortable that you don't want to leave....we barely site see and spend most of our time at the property.

Room Tip: If your looking for more of a private getaway choose the beach cottages/houses which are a short str...

“Expensive, but truely wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

Spent Thanksgiving at this wonderful Inn. We stayed in the Harbor House portion of the Inn, and it was a truely wonderful and beautiful room and setting - as modern as one can imagine, but with the charm of 100 years ago. And the view, back over to Newport and the bay and the bridge - breathtaking. We had tea, which was good, but nothing in comparison to dinner at the restaurant. An amazing experience. The staff are most generous, helpful, and enthusiastic, as I would be too, if I worked in this beautiful place.

Room Tip: Try to get one of the Harbor House rooms. They are wonderful

“Idyllic spot for off-season getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

Wonderful choice for a romantic over-night with my husband. THe beach cottage was cozy and tasteful. The shower was huge! Beautiful accomodations but a little small. The 5 course tasting menu inthe restaurant was superb and very generous. We had a great time!
