Spent our first Columbus Day weekend on Block Island after having lived in New England for over 55 years! Have always wanted to visit the island and finally made our reservations at the Rose Farm Inn.

The Inn is wonderful....lots of character in the rooms and a nice breakfast thrown in. It's a short walk from the ferry (about 1/2 mile) but it is a little uphill so take some rest along the way. The folks at the inn were just wonderful and very accomodating (even provided us some wine glasses to use one night!).

I recommend this inn wholeheartedly and will stay there again next time we visit the island.

Stayed here this past Saturday night and were very pleased. Judith was a great host and the rooms were pleasant. Loved the back balcony but wish they were a little more private. Jacuzzi tubs in the room was a huge bonus.

Was convenient to have the bike rental on site and the staff there was accommodating and friendly. Great bikes and all the accessories you could need.

Walked into town easily and slept well after all that walking and biking in the incredibly comfortable beds.

Only negative was breakfast is just continental. Would have been nice to have some eggs and bacon but the website does say it is only continental so no surprise.

Overall a wonderful spot, we will be visiting again!

This was our first trip to Block Island (family of 5) and we had a great time. The RFI is located on a hill overlooking the town, so it's close but not noisy. Its right next to the Atlantic Inn so you can enjoy the bar and restaurant but not have to deal with the noise. We rode our bikes everywhere - the hill to the Inn is a little tiring but not too bad. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms are nice and tastefully decorated. Can shower and change after checkout which makes a big difference.

The only downsides were the mattresses were a little soft, and the continental breakfast is just basic. But overall we had a great time and would definitely go back to the RFI.

We stayed in the Rose Farm Inn during our first-ever trip to Block Island in late June, 2012. We booked the trip last-minute and this was the only inn with a room available, as all of the other inns (the quiet ones, not the big rowdy ones) had weddings that weekend. My husband and I have three young children and booked a three-night getaway for the two of us to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed. The Inn is situated on a beautiful, peaceful property away from the louder scene in town, but it's walking distance to town and a pretty walk (not far at all). We also rented bikes from the on-site rental shop run by the owner's son in-law, and the bikes were in better condition than any of the other bike rentals we saw on the island. If you're going to Block Island to party and stay up late talking with friends, this isn't the inn for you. You'd be better off staying at one of the bigger hotels in town. If you're looking for a quiet getaway where you won't be disturbed, and where you will hear birds singing through the trees, you'll love Rose Farm. The only downside for us was the breakfast, hence the four stars instead of five. The inn doesn't have a kitchen and therefore can't serve a hot breakfast. If you're satisfied with cereal and bagels you'll be fine. We ended up eating a bagel at the inn in the mornings and then riding our bikes for a bit before sitting down to a big hot breakfast in town. We felt the price difference between this inn and the inns that do serve hot breakfasts made up for us having to buy breakfast elsewhere. The Atlantic Inn is just steps away and they serve a hot breakfast that you can purchase separately. Our room was clean, bed was comfortable, and water was good and hot. No complaints, just pleasant breezes and a chance to reconnect!
