城堡山旅館(Castle Hill Inn)

This review is for the casual restaurant overlooking the water. The view is stunning. The prices more so. The menu is very limited. And pricey. But the waitstaff/bartenders were the friendliest yet. It is worth a cocktail and conversation. And view!

This property is truly a special retreat! The views, the rooms, the food and the attentive staff; every single thing was first class and made us feel valued as guests not just customers. We missed the afternoon tea but won't make that mistake again. Check in the minute you can and don't check out until you have to, you do not want to miss even a second of your stay at this amazing property.

We were there in Mid-October,2022. It was so beautiful and magical that I am still looking at the pictures I made of the inn and water and I am writing this on May 19, 2024 ! We stayed in the turret and it was incredible with tub above us on the third floor. If you can, get the room in the turret. It was an unforgettable experience.

We did not stay at the Inn although it looks like it should be on our travel itinerary in the future. We did dine in the restaurant - in one of the rooms that had a fantastic view of Narragansett Bay. The food and the service were excellent. My wife had a lobster roll that must have had all of the meat from the lobster in it (10/10). I had 'curried' chicken pot pie. A very interesting and tasty combination. (9/10). For sure the restaurant must have a very creative and talented chef.

Beautiful property but I would recommend more for a drink on the lawn and the view rather than staying there. We have stayed at many 5 star Inns and B&B's and I do not feel that this Inn is a good value. Overall the customer service is good but not great. I also feel that there is an air of pretentiousness and it's a bit more "stuffy" than what I would prefer. We stayed in the Harbor House. The room was a little on the small size but had great views. The walls are paper thin and the bed a little too soft and noise from adjoining rooms was an issue. The walls in the room could have a little more personality or artwork and were a little plain. As far as the food, the breakfast was absolutely delicious and enormous. I loved my Lobster Hash and poached eggs! Dinner the night before in the bar was just average. Clam Chowder had nice flavor but almost no clams. Lobster Roll was a nice size but a little too plain and not much flavor. Burger also needed salt and pepper and not worth $26. Our server/bartender never asked how anything was or I would have told her.

The staff knew we were celebrating our anniversary so they upgraded our room. They met us with congratulations & a glass of rose to toast us. The service, views, food, room were all top notch! Our breakfast overlooking the ocean was delicious! But the absolute best was our soaking tub with spectacular ocean views. If one desires feeling spoiled the Inn at Castle Hill is the place to celebrate!

Truly is a special and magical place. Coming here instantly makes you forget about any stresses you may have. This was my third time staying here and it is just as hard to leave each time. We stayed in the beach house and listened to the ocean while relaxing for the eve. 10/10 every single time!

Castle Hill Inn is a treasured place where you are transported away from the rigors of daily life. Just love this property in its entirety. Lodging, staff, food and the grounds! No better place to stay in Newport, RI. Hands down,NONE. Tops!!
