I had a lovely time at Castle Hill Inn, enjoying the stunning views and the beach house that was just steps from the sand. The breakfast delivered to my room was outstanding (the lobster hash was a highlight!), but dining options at the hotel left something to be desired; service at the Lawn was a bit overwhelmed and the menu wasn't impressive. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway that I'd love to revisit, especially once the Dining Room is back in action.

My stay at Castle Hill Inn was largely enjoyable, with exceptional service and stunning views. The beach house I stayed in offered a cozy atmosphere, but I did find it a bit pricey for what it provided. Dining options were varied, although I did notice some inconsistencies with the outdoor service staff, which detracted from the overall experience. Still, the serene environment made for a relaxing getaway.

I recently stayed at Castle Hill Inn, and it was a memorable experience overall. The exceptional service from the staff and the breathtaking views truly stood out. However, I felt the value for my stay was somewhat lacking considering the price, especially with a room that was on the smaller side. Overall, while I enjoyed my stay, there are definitely areas for improvement. 🌅🍽️

I had a lovely stay at the Beach House, though it felt a bit overpriced for what we received, especially considering the lack of privacy from neighboring guests. The complimentary breakfast was outstanding, and the cozy atmosphere made our stay enjoyable, but the constant foot traffic by non-guests was a slight downside given the price. Still, I appreciated the charm of the place and would recommend it with some caution regarding costs.
