Castle Hill Resort & Spa

I have driven by many times and always wanted to experience this resort. Extremely glad I finally tried it. WOW, the main castle is quaint, the rooms are very clean and spacious. The bathroom needs updating, but that would spoil the era ambiance. Explore the manor to appreciate the decor. The restaurant is wonderful. Grab a bottle of wine and a gourmet meal; it will be a memory!

Yes this house/hotel is from 1913 era but you must love the time period to enjoy this place. The food in the restaurant was very good and we had a romantic evening by the fire eating leisurely. I would return and for me that says it all

The house was beautiful but our room was horrible. While our friends enjoyed a beautiful view of the woods we had a street view. Our room was dark and depressing. The jacuzzi did not work, the lighting was awful, not enough towels for two people, no shower, just a tub that was dangerous to get in and out of (I fell and hurt my elbow), there were ugly pipes in our room, a loud heater, and no place to relax comfortably. The food was overpriced. Our friends had a larger room with working jacuzzi, a bright beautiful bath, a fireplace, a cozy couch, and a beautiful view, yet we both payed the same price . I feel totally ripped off and depressed. I will never visit again despite the great skiing the area has to offer. SUCKS

I stayed here in January of 2017 for my first ski trip to Okemo. I booked at the last minute and did not have a lot of options left. This place seemed like a nice "resort," and of a higher caliber than what was also available on short notice. It was pretty expensive ($300+/night) but it looked luxurious so figured that was fine for just a two day excursion. It is located right near town and the mountain and was in a very beautiful setting set back in the woods. I bet it is gorgeous in the spring, summer, and fall. Winter it was nice looking (looks like a castle) but nothing to really get too excited about. They have an outdoor pool (even heated in the winter) which looked good (and an adjoining spa) but I didn't use them on this trip. Again, I bet it's great in the warmer months. The reason that this place is "not for me" as my title suggests, is that this is more of a bed & breakfast than it is a real resort hotel. That may be extremely appealing for some people, but I'm not one of them. It's just not my type of thing as a single, youngish, traveller. Going there with a significant other or maybe for a family reunion is probably great, but for me it was just awkward. You feel more like you're sharing a big mansion with a bunch of strangers than you feel like you're at a resort. The rooms were nice, very opulent like the rest of the mansion, but again just not for me. I guess I prefer the newer stuff to the classic furnishings and what not. That is not to take anything away from the accommodations, it really is very nice and well-kept, but again just not my style. I did not eat at the "restaurant" but I saw it and would consider it more like a dining room. Very fancy and formal. I wish they had a bar, but instead just have a little parlor where they'll bring you drinks, almost like your sitting in a living room with a waiter. Nice place, not major issues, just not for me. I hope what I described is what you may be looking for though and in that case, it's prefect. I will still give it four stars for the quality and would also consider staying here again in the warmer months; just wasn't the right place for a ski trip.

I love this hotel. I've stayed 4 times over the last 8 years. Each room is unique, comfortable, and beautiful. I love taking a dip in the outdoor pool in the winter. Again I found this place on Groupon. Be careful when booking that you are booking for the Castle on the hill and not The Pointe Hotel. Owned by the same company. The restaurant has amazing smelling dinners however I prefer the tavern down the road which has a bit of history itself. The library in the castle is a perfect place for a cocktail and a good read. If you're like me and always include searching for local cheese. Crawly Cheese is close by and Sugarbush Farms in Woodstock is my favorite!
