Great Location & Accommodations
We’ve stayed at the Block numerous times over the years at various locations, but this is our new favorite spot. The convenience of having the beach, towels, and chairs right out back can’t be beat, and the lodging was lovely. Julie, the manager, and the other staff made our stay seem like home-away-from-home. The grounds are beautiful. We especially enjoyed sitting on the porch rockers at night listening to the music float across from the National. We only stayed a night but felt so refreshed and relaxed. We’ll go back for sure.

Family vacation
We had a wonderful time staying at the Blue Dory. Joanne is great and always makes herself available to answer questions or anything that may come up. Maria is awesome and always went above and beyond. Can’t wait to come back again next year.

I’m always happy!
A quaint Victorian Inn that is very welcoming comfortable and staffed with friendly Inn Keepers. Right in New Shoreham you can walk to anything. I’m always happy when we are here and plan to come back often.

Awesome Off-Season Stay
The staff of the Blue Dory is extremely friendly and professional. The place is cozy, clean, well appointed, and close to everything, without feeling right in the middle of it. Evening gatherings for guests over wine, appetizers, and amazing cookies add a lovely touch. We were there two weeks before Memorial Day–a perfect time to visit Block Island. Most of the inns had some construction going on to recover from winter, and the Blue Dory managed challenge of that work along side tourists who couldn’t stay away with grace and generosity. Plus, The extra bonus of visiting the island before the season starts: the seals on the northern tip of the island! Block Island is a special place and the Blue Dory is a perfect way to access it.

welcoming inn on Block Island
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Dory Inn very much. Cozy little Doll House for our accomodations. left the window open at night to listen to the surf. so great. But when they say it’s a small room, they mean its a small room but it was very good for us. Breakfasts are good, company is good, happy hour is fun, and you cannot beat the location. We would rebook in a heartbeat.

Peace and comfort by the sea
My husband and I celebrated our 34th anniversary this past weekend at The Blue Dory Inn. The location is ideal in town and by the beach. No car needed! Our room had a lovely view of the ocean so sleeping was dreamy listening to the waves and having the fresh air blow in through the open windows.
Ann and Bobbi were available and so inviting making us feel truly at home. And those cookies…
Cocktail hour had these wonderful cookies complimenting the welcoming vibe.
We look forward to our next visit to Block Island and coming home to The Blue Dory Inn.Worcester, Massachusetts

Unsurpassed service
Just returned from a stay at the Blue Dory. The owner and her staff go ‘beyond the call’ to make your stay memorable. From the ease of check-in, to the MOST COMFORTABLE Bed, the amazing freshly cooked breakfasts, the wine and cheese gatherings at 5:00 (including homemade cookies!!), the LOCATION (a 5 min walk from ferry), and the friendliest staff this side of Chicago……shall I keep going?? This is NO hype. We keep returning because of Ann and her top-of-the-mark staff. Thank you all for another wonderful stay……at the Blue Dory Inn! ❤️❤️

Mid week escape to peace by the sea.
The Blue Dory Inn is our home away from home! Second time staying with them and once again the experience was warm and wonderful. The Inn itself is situated in town with the beach directly in the back yard. Our room “Arabella” was spic and span clean, a wonderful hot and strong stream of water in the shower, two big windows looking out on the beautifully quaint garden (early June). Beach chairs and towels, Amazing breakfast and lots of hot delicious coffee. Our hostess was so friendly, 5pm happy hour with wine and cheese and cookies. All this and a house cat too! Simon was lounging about keeping his eye on all that goes on. I highly recommend a stay at the Blue Dory Inn.

Cozy, Comfortable + Dog Friendly!
My husband and I stayed at the Blue Dory Inn during Race Week this year, and we were so happy with the service, comfortable and clean accommodations, and helpful and friendly staff. We were also very pleased that they are one of only a few hotels on the island that accommodate dogs, and we will stay there again for sure! I loved being able to sit in the rocking chair on the front porch with a glass of wine at the end of the day to watch the passers by. A big plus is the complimentary breakfast that includes a variety of homemade items and eggs, and there is always coffee or tea available. I highly recommend this Inn. It was truly a pleasure and we hope to be able to stay there again.
