My husband and I stayed recently and loved the inn. Our check was easy, the staff communicated via text to let us know our room was ready. We arrived via the Ferry therefore no parking issues but walking the properly we could see there was plenty of space to park. We enjoyed the wine and cheese. It was a nice way to meet the other guests. We spent time at Captain Nicks just steps from the Inn as well as the Yellow Kittens and McAloons( Irish Pub). We did not have breakfast at the inn as we were out for a walk. We will definitely stay at the Blue Dory again. We highly recommend if you are visiting Block Island.

I just stayed at the Blue Dory on Friday July 11th. I cant wait to stay again. My room was on the 3rd fl which I didn't mind. There is a fire door at the top of the stairs that swings all the way open and my adorable room was at the end of the hallway. The room was so clean, bathroom was perfect and included a jetted tub. The lotion and hand soap they use smells amazing. There is lovely scent throughout the house. My bed was very comfortable the host was so easy to communicate with and so friendly. They also offer breakfast and wine and cheese appetizer hour. The breakfast was located in the basement and they had everything you could think of. Excellent stay and will definitely be back.

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!
