Castle Hill Inn

We thoroughly enjoyed the gracious hospitality of the Castle Hill Inn staff who were attentive to our every need. The mansion's beauty, breakfasts in the dining room, afternoon tea, and lunch on the lawn terrace with our family were all true highlights. As an amateur photographer, I was particularly captivated by the marvelous views of Narragansett Bay and the East Passage.

Would never stay anywhere else while in Newport! The team always goes above and beyond to make you feel special. The hotel property is beautifully manicured and inviting to nice, quiet strolls.

No dogs allowed on property, not even on the outdoor terrace restaurant seating. There’s a guard shack someone inexplicably felt the need to write a paycheck to fund a quarter mile down the road that you have to explain yourself to before continuing to drive to the restaurant. This place is the kind of establishment Caddyshack made fun of in the ‘80s for having its own head shoved up its own keister. Avoid

We had a GOOFED BED on the first night! We headed to Castle Inn to celebrate my husband's birthday. We booked a private cottage for two nights. We checked in at 4 pm and grabbed a great bite at the on-site restaurant. After a walk around the beautiful property to catch the sunset, we settled in for the night. Getting ready for the night - I jumped into bed -to jump right back out --- because it was very apparent it was DIRTY. The sheets from previous guests were never changed. We called the front desk, and a lovely woman raced down and changed and swapped out everything while I sat in my PJ's, holding our puppy, in awe as I watched her be calm and polite to correct the concern over lite chit-chat. She did an amazing job, but the reality is - the experience somewhat put a damper on our first (to be romantic) night there. Then, the next day, the housekeeper removed our cozy hotel-supplied shirpa blanket, and we called to inquire where it had disappeared to, as it was overcast and I was looking to warm up on the couch. Moments later, the housekeeper returned it and rudely stated that the room is a dog room and that those blankets aren't for guests with dogs (so odd). That evening, we returned from the chef tasting dinner to celebrate the birthday to find a silver poop can literally at the front of our door. I suppose our placement of clean-up bags - below the deck near the shrubs was not sufficient, but that was a bit brazen to place it there, out of all places available, to say the least. Had the room been prepared correctly at the time of our arrival, these headaches would not have happened. Andrew at the front desk upon departure was amazing and knew the issues that took place. He extended us a credit for our lunch and wine, thoughtful and appreciated. We will visit again as the resort is picturesque and the staff is overall absolutely wonderful, we just had a bad first start...and they had a wedding that day so it seemed they were a bit overwhelmed.

We had a fabulous experience staying at Castle Hill, starting with our welcome champagne and ending with our walk around the 40 acres of grounds. In between we enjoyed a beautiful room with ocean views, delicious and overflowing lobster rolls in the bar and a truly delicious complimentary gourmet breakfast. Also included was a tasty teatime with amazing pastries and tea sandwiches. What really sealed the great experience was the attentive and friendly staff. They go above and beyond and know their jobs very well. The grounds and location make for a beautiful morning walk. I hope to make this an annual stay, we don’t live far and it made for a lovely staycation.
