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!

Sabrina and the rest of the Avonlea staff were incredible. We were the only people booked for the Blue Dori inn, so they asked for f we wouldn’t mind moving over to the Avonlea. Still had a water view, and we had a great experience.

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.
Jill, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was very clean! Breakfast was delicious with the exception of the coffee. Staff were wonderful and the staff kitty was adorable. Place could use some updates such as an adapter to plug a cellphone in and a place to put suitcases however the location and staff made up for these.
Laurie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
