  ⭐ Overall Experience: 5/5 I absolutely loved visiting Castle Hill Inn for drinks and sunset! The atmosphere and setting were beyond gorgeous, and the entire place felt truly exceptional. Even though it was fully booked and we weren’t able to get a chair, the experience was still amazing. 🌅 The Sunset and Views The sunset views were breathtaking, and the scenery made the whole visit feel incredibly special. Everything about the setting was beautiful and relaxing. 🍹 The Drinks and Atmosphere The drinks were wonderful, and I loved the entire vibe of the inn. From the gorgeous surroundings to the peaceful atmosphere, it was an amazing place to spend time and take in the view. ❤️ Final Verdict Castle Hill Inn is truly exceptional for drinks, sunset, and an unforgettable atmosphere. Even without a chair, we had such a wonderful experience, and I would absolutely love to return next time for dinner.

  This has been the best hotel stay we’ve ever had. Truly top notch. They have gone above and beyond and the location is perfection. We are so impressed.

  I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a wedding at Castle Hill Inn in Newport, Rhode Island, and it remains one of those wedding days I think about years later. There are beautiful wedding venues, and then there are places that somehow make an entire day feel beautiful. Castle Hill is the latter. The setting on the water is obviously incredible, but what struck me most as a photographer was how many different little worlds exist within the property. The lawn overlooking the water, the coastline, the Inn itself, the sailboats passing in the distance, and then this beautiful glowing tent as evening settles in. Everywhere you turn, there is something lovely without any of it feeling overly manufactured for weddings. The staff was also genuinely wonderful to work alongside. Wedding days involve an enormous number of moving pieces behind the scenes, and the Castle Hill Inn team made everything feel gracious and easy. That matters so much, not only for the couple and their guests, but for all of us working together to give them a beautiful experience. I photograph weddings in many different places, including destination weddings throughout the US and Europe, and Castle Hill Inn really is truly a gem. Lauren and Logan’s Newport wedding here remains one of the most joyful and visually beautiful days I’ve photographed. Even prettier on medium format and 35mm film :) I am thrilled every single time a Castle Hill Inn wedding appears on my calendar.

  Booked last minute lunch reservations a few days ago and are so happy we did. What a gorgeous view! Upon arrival we opted to sit at the bar and our bartender whose name escapes me was wonderful, we never had to wait for a thing. We had the crab dip app, my husband had the chicken cordon bleu and I had a burratta sandwich. My husband fawned over his chicken dish - ranked it as one of his favorites ever! And the salads served with the entrees - so, so good. My non-veggie loving hubbie cleaned his plate. The only reason for the 4 stars vs. 5 is this: there was a major problem with yellow jackets everywhere - our bartender got stung while taking care of us and other staff mentioned being stung multiple times. People had to cover their food and their drinks and other folks elected to leave altogether. If someone is allergic, I'm sure they would have been very unhappy. We realized this issue within minutes of sitting down and had not yet ordered our food, and we asked the hostess if we could have our table that we had originally booked. Her response was cavalier at best saying if we didn't want to deal with the bees, we'd have to wait 45 minutes because our table was no longer available, even though we arrived 20 minutes prior to our reservation. So, we were somewhat on edge and worried about being stung. The small battery operated fans to keep them away were a great idea, but the two in our area of the bar had dead batteries. The bee problem is a health and safety issue and we found it surprising that the inn was not able to manage the issue with professional intervention. But, all in all, a wonderful place, lovely service, great food - we look forward to visiting again. In non-bee season!
