The Inn at Castle Hill  in Ipswich on the Crane Estate invites you to return to an age of innocent pursuits. Step into a timeless place of understated elegance and serenity. Located in the heart of the spectacular Crane Estate, enjoy simple, yet luxurious pleasures, and reconnect with what’s really important in life. Snug beds, hearty breakfasts, and a warm and generous staff anticipate your arrival.

All the rooms at the Inn are uniquely appointed and many feature stunning views over the salt marshes, sand dunes, and Atlantic Ocean. Though no two rooms are alike, all promise a great night’s sleep and the excitement of waking up in the magical world that is Castle Hill.

Take tea on the veranda and gaze across the spectacular coastline. Read quietly upon a sun-bathed window seat. Stroll along the miles of shoreline.

• Minimum Stays
  Please note that we require a two-night minimum stay on weekends throughout the year and during the week in July and August. A three-night minimum stay on selected holiday periods and weekends is required. We suggest that you book your stay as early as possible. Reservations are accepted up to twelve months in advance.
• Arrival and Departure
  Check-in is between 3PM and 8PM. If you will be arriving later than 8PM, please contact us to arrange a late arrival. Should you arrive earlier than 3 and your room is not ready, you are welcome to pick up your beach pass and enjoy the grounds of the Estate and the Inn’s facilities. Check-out is at 11AM.
• Cancellations
  While we understand that life does not always unfold as planned, our inn is small enough that even one cancellation makes an enormous difference. We ask for your cooperation in observing a 14-day cancellation notice (30 days for selected holiday weekends and reservations of 3 rooms or more) prior to your expected arrival. If you cancel with less than the required notice, your credit card will be charged for the full balance of the nights reserved. If your deposit was made by cash or check, you will be billed for the full balance of the nights reserved. Refunds will only be made for those nights that we are able to re-book the rooms reserved. A $50.00 processing fee per accommodation is charged on all cancellations and is deducted from all refunds. Any change in your reservation dates, except for an extension, will be considered a cancellation.

  All reservations of three rooms or more are subject to a 30 day cancellation policy.

• Gratuity
  A 5% gratuity is applied to reservations of three rooms or more.

  A Member of the Trustees of Reservations receives a 10% discount off their room rate each night. You may also join The Trustees of Reservations directly with the Inn when you make your reservation or during your stay to receive your discount.
• Children
  Because many of our guests are coming to the inn for a quiet retreat, children under the age of 12 are not permitted to stay at the Inn.
