This was my sixth experience in staying at your Blue Dory Inn and I have to say that I am now huge fan of the Blue Dory Bed & Breakfast was just fabulous and pet friendley. The room was spacious and very clean and had a wonderful view of the ocean. In the room this time I had a small... more

Had high hopes for the Blue Dory based on other traveler reviews, but it was disappointing overall. The staff was friendly enough but the inn is stuffy and over-decorated in a cheesy, gaudy interpretation of "Victorian". The 5:30 snack hour is over-rated too. Our tiny room was run-down with a door that would hardly open and the bathroom wasn't 100%... more

The Blue Dory cottage in which we stayed was about the worst value per dollar we've experienced. Told that our cottage was recently renovated, we were surprised by the B-rate motel-like interior. (A friend's family who visited the Inn separately a few weeks later (and went elsewhere) described the cottage they were shown as a high-priced dump.) The rooms were... more

The Blue Dory was nice, but we enjoyed the porch and view from their other property "Avonlea" (just down the beach) so much more. The "Avonlea" has been renovated and has nice, clean colors with central a/c. (The Blue Dory uses room a/c in the bedrooms upon request.) The "Blue Dory" could stand a few less flowers in their decorations.... more

We were thrilled with one of the Blue Dory's other property's called Sign of the Dove. It was a renovated house on a pond, with peacocks strolling up onto the porch, a large shared dining room and kitchen, and comfy living room. We loved our spa tub, and the fishing in the pond. My daughter collected peacock feathers and we... more

Great room with a wonderful view - classy Victorian decor. Staff very helpful & accommodating. Love the afternoon chunky chocolate chip cookies.! It was great to be right on the beach & still right downtown. Barefoot more

My wife took me here for my birthday in March to a very desolate Block Island to stay at the very quaint and romantic Blue Dory which is walkign distance to town and the ferry. The off season rates made this a desirable place to stay, I cannot imagine what onseason rates are. The location sits right on the beach... more

What a pleasant experience. The people running the very quaint Blue Dory obviously love what they do and they love their guests. (Quite a difference compared to the folks next door.) The rooms are spacious (for Block Island) and very comfortable. Breakfast is a treat as is "Happy Hour" with the amazing barnacle cookies. As you walk into the Blue... more

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Dory Inn to celebrate our 20th aniversary. We had reservations to stay for two nights but had to leave after the first night because one of our kids got sick back at home. Fish the Innkeeper refunded our money after finding someone else to rent our room for the second night. He did... more

The Blue Dory Inn is a wonderful place that incorporates all that is beautiful about Block Island. The buildings themselves are spacious yet cozy, with a true Victorian feel. The views out almost every window are beautiful. Staff are courteous, helpful, and pleasant. From complimentary full breakfast, to wine,lemonade, and pickies at 5:30 p.m., from boogie boards and umbrellas at... more
