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.

The place was nice but dated. Noisy window air conditioner in a dated room, that doesn't cut it at 600 plus a night. The staff was nice and the caretakers were not really into to their jobs. I think that they couldn't wait to get off the island at the end of the summer.

I loved this Inn. Our room was bright, comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower had good water pressure. The staff was welcoming and friendly. They had a good free hot breakfast with great coffee. I really liked the location. Walking distance to the ferry and shopping and dining out the front door. Out the back door was access to the beach. The Inn provides beach towels and chairs. The yard is a beautiful flower garden with bistro table and chairs to sit in. It is a very nice place to stay and I hope to return someday.

Holly at the Blue Dory was awesome! From communication to customer service - we had such a great time. We were able to store our bags way earlier than check in and check out to match our ferry schedule. The happy hour at 5, yummy breakfast, use of beach chairs and towels were so appreciated and fabulous. Our room was gorgeous! The Blue Dory was within walking distance with our roller luggage from the ferry, and close to shopping, restaurants and our moped rental. There are plenty of taxis if you want to explore the island, but we rented mopeds for 24 hours and really explored- all except for dirt roads where you can park and walk. Great getaway!

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.

Don't tell was having some all around issues with Heating and Plumbing.. our room was upgraded to bigger and better accommodations.. there was some little snafus, but Holly was right on top of everything! We have beautiful views of the ocean a very spacious upstairs sweet with the kitchen and a bathroom that had a Jacuzzi! It was absolutely beautiful the service was amazing the breakfast were amazing! The only thing I was disappointed about was that I didn't get a chance to sample some of their Block Island Barnacle cookies

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.
