Everything about our stay at the Blue Dory Inn was excellent. I would recommend anyone looking to stay on Block Island to choose The Blue Dory Inn for their lodging. Well maintained, clean, and beautiful inn.

We loved our time at Blue Dory! Everything about it exceeded our expectations. We especially liked how close we were to town and the beach. And the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating. We hope to return to BI and would definitely stay at Blue Dory again. Special thanks to Holly who was there to answer any and all of the questions we had!

I loved this Inn. Our room was bright, comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower had good water pressure. The staff was welcoming and friendly. They had a good free hot breakfast with great coffee. I really liked the location. Walking distance to the ferry and shopping and dining out the front door. Out the back door was access to the beach. The Inn provides beach towels and chairs. The yard is a beautiful flower garden with bistro table and chairs to sit in. It is a very nice place to stay and I hope to return someday.

Blue Dory Inn was in a great location, walkable, not far from the ferry. Ocean views from the property were great! Cute shops and some nice restaurants nearby. Nice front porch to sit outside and beach chairs to take to the beach behind the house. Holly was an excellent host. Afternoon social was very nice-with cheeses, crackers and lemonade for the non-wine drinkers. Beds were comfortable and rooms clean. The breakfast was quite good, with a nice selection of breakfast food choices, scrambled eggs with spinach and fresh fruits and breads, juice, coffee and teas.

The place was nice but dated. Noisy window air conditioner in a dated room, that doesn't cut it at 600 plus a night. The staff was nice and the caretakers were not really into to their jobs. I think that they couldn't wait to get off the island at the end of the summer.

Blue Dory is a must stay!
Holly at the Blue Dory was awesome! From communication to customer service - we had such a great time. We were able to store our bags way earlier than check in and check out to match our ferry schedule. The happy hour at 5, yummy breakfast, use of beach chairs and towels were so appreciated and fabulous. Our room was gorgeous! The Blue Dory was within walking distance with our roller luggage from the ferry, and close to shopping, restaurants and our moped rental. There are plenty of taxis if you want to explore the island, but we rented mopeds for 24 hours and really explored- all except for dirt roads where you can park and walk. Great getaway!

Gracious Inn with all the amenities. Owner (Ann) and Innkeeper (JoAnn) were welcoming and excellent resources for anything Block Island. Our room had beautiful ocean views and I fell asleep every night to the sound of the waves. It was wonderful! Great breakfasts and evening wine and cookies. We loved this place and will return again!

There is nothing to not like
Joann and those at the Blue Dory were nothing but lovely and accomodating on our pre-season BI getaway. Great breakfasts, cheese and wine evenings, & coffee availability. Simon the cat lazes around! The views of the water are amazing. The location is nestled just in town. Can't wait to return.

All that in a beautiful view
Don't tell was having some all around issues with Heating and Plumbing.. our room was upgraded to bigger and better accommodations.. there was some little snafus, but Holly was right on top of everything! We have beautiful views of the ocean a very spacious upstairs sweet with the kitchen and a bathroom that had a Jacuzzi! It was absolutely beautiful the service was amazing the breakfast were amazing! The only thing I was disappointed about was that I didn't get a chance to sample some of their Block Island Barnacle cookies
