Castle Hill Inn

Very disappointing stay. First, I didn’t want to go because my home is in Western North Carolina where there is so much surreal devastation. My home received damage and my heart and mind was not into going on this vacation. The resort would not allow us to cancel or reschedule. They had no empathy whatsoever! The dinner in Aurelia was nothing to write home about. Another disappointment. Every morning we had our breakfast delivered to our and every morning it was messed up. Examples, thirty minutes late, no utensils, forget cream and sugar for coffee, forgot a smoothie, lost the order completely, delivered only one order, Wanted to know if we wanted breakfast set up on the porch where the chairs and table were wet, etc. The wall next to the shower was rotten. The inside window seals inside the screens were disgustingly nasty. To call the front desk at times the phone would just ring and ring. Overall experience was not worth what we paid for. Will not stay at this property again!

An exceptional property on the ocean. One of a kind.

Great & Great

Roku had to be brought to the room and installed for us. But it was done quickly and by a friendly person.

Stayed for two days in August. Stayed in harbor house 4 located right by the water with a great morning wake-up view. Beautiful property with a wonderful location. Just spent the day lounging on the lawn watching the bay and the boat traffic, of course with a glass of wine. Dining options were excellent, staff from valet to housekeeping were great. Well worth it!

Everything

Nothing

Beautiful spot.

Beautiful venue. Old Newport terrace and lawn looking out over the bay into the sunset. Gracious staff, great service. But the swordfish and sea bass were overcooked, and nothing we ate made us feel like anyone really cared in the kitchen. Go for the scene and the sunset. Cruise Ocean drive home. Spectacular setting

Booked a last-minute beach cottage getaway and couldn’t have had a more relaxing or better escape. Beautiful waterfront cottage, breathtaking views and treated like royalty by everyone we encountered. No lunch reservations on arrival when they’re fully booked? No problem if you’re an overnight guest, as they’ll escort you to a premium table in the patio section reserved for hotel guests. Want breakfast on the deck of your cottage? It’s delivered piping hot precisely when you requested. Want to relax on their private beach? A friendly attendant sets up your covered lounge chairs, side table, umbrella and towels exactly where you want them, and brings you water and frozen grapes. Want to slip into town for a bite or shopping? Hop on the launch at their marina, and the captain will point out key sites along the way. Lunch and breakfast offerings were interesting and well-presented. If you can, make time for the included afternoon tea with freshly baked treats and tea sandwiches served in a cozy wood-panelled room off the lobby. Thoughtful amenities in the cottage included a dimmable light, umbrellas, heated bathroom floor, a deep soaking tub, a charging station, a small refrigerator stocked with free water (plus a split of champagne, wine, etc. for purchase), etc., and there’s turndown service with chocolates. Storage for clothing was rather limited if you’re planning an extended stay, but no problem for us. We come to Newport often so spent virtually all our time at Castle Hill. Loved every minute and will return.
