We booked our weekend at the Rose Farm in on the recommendation of a friend and considering the price we were disappointed. Originally we had requested a queen room in the farmhouse with an ocean view and private bath ($224 a night). It was suggested that for $274 a night we would enjoy the queen in the Capt Rose house with the whirlpool tub and the country view deck. We ended up negotiating this rate down to $224 a night after we added a second night.
The whirlpool tub was smaller than my small tub at home and the bathroom was a less than inviting or welcoming place to take a bath. The whirlpool jets were there but the filter looked like it had not been scrubbed for a while, even if i could have comfortably fit in the tub I never would have sat in there. Also, the outside of the bathroom door had what looked like a mold or mildew growing on it.
The country view "deck" was the landing and walkway from the top of the stairs to other rooms. There were 2 or 3 very uncomfortable looking benches on it, not really what I consider a deck.
Breakfast was a disappointment. Coffee was bad, fruit consisted of bananas and a small bowl of honeydew melon. Pastry was pretty stale. The young woman working in the dining room seemed annoyed to be there.
Overall, the grounds were nice but I agree with the reviewer who said that it needed a "vibe". We enjoyed our weekend on Block Island very much and would recommend it as a great fall weekend getaway. I would just look for a different place to stay.
For $274 a night this place was way overpriced, for $224 it was still more than we should have spent for that room in the off season.

We stayed at the Rose Farm Inn a long while back when we visited Block Island. The Inn was well-kept and the breakfast was nice. The Inn is at a very quiet location, though does take a bit of a trek to get to. Still, not far from the action or the ferry. It was a pretty comfortable atmosphere, all around. We went during the summer where an A/C unit would have helped. Room rates are a lot cheaper during the off season, but otherwise lands in an above-average range. The back deck and available bicycle rentals were nice value-adds. There wasn't a tv in the room we stayed in; though we were out enjoying nature and exploring all day, it's always nice to fall asleep to the tv or have something in the background while we got dressed.

We've stayed here several times and have come to associate this place with peace and quiet. Located a bit back from the ocean away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist traffic, such as it is, it feels more like a farm in the country with it's gentle hills and open pastures. There's usually a gentle breeze wafting through that keeps things cool enough so there's no need for air conditioning. You just hear the rolling surf and the birdsong most of the time. The property is clean and well maintained. The continental breakfast is good enough with lots of coffee, fruit, and cereals. Easy walking distance to town.

Pros:

Beautiful grounds, blissfully quiet. A place you can unwind with little lacking in the comfort department.

Cons:

Getting our room cleaned each day was inconsistant. While we got new towels each day I dont think the room was vacuumed or the sheets changed during the few days we were there. We aren't dirty people and are pretty easy going but it was a bit disconcerting.

I chose this B&B because of the location. We stayed in the original farm house. It was OK. It was a little over rated per Tripadvisor, based on my travel experience. The room was relatively clean but pretty tired. Could use a simple facelift that would bring it up a BIG notch.

I think the location is amazing and the rooms are adequate, but there are really no amenities to speak of - in other words, nothing terribly special about it. BUT - if you want a relatively clean, not too fancy, easy to get to all the attractions place to stay, its just fine.

Please note: internet really slow - but that's most likely the provider, not the hotel.
Breakfast was again...just ok. Nothing special.
