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.

I would like to start by saying as soon as you walk in the place it smelt so amazing. The staff/owner Ann was at the door to greet us and give us a tour. The kitty Simon was very welcoming as well. Ann was so nice that she even gave me a gift as it was my 1 yr anniversary as well as engagement. The food was fresh and made with love. I would highly recommend to anyone that likes a nice, cozy and peaceful place to stay.

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.

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!
