Our second trip to BI. Blue Dory is in a quiet location, yet only a few steps away from Water Street shops and restaurants. Our third-floor room had its own AC, not needed in the cool of May but probably nice in mid-summer, under the eaves. You have to have a tolerance for "cute" flowered wallpaper, antique dressers, creaky stairs,... more

The Blue Dory is a lovely seaside inn on the harbor. Perfect location as it sits right around the bend from the main street so it' s a bit quieter and yet an easy 5 minute walk from the ferry and therefore no need for a car. I research all my vacations ad nauseum so can tell you from experience... more

no amenity overlooked. What a great stay I had at the Blue Dory! For comfort, location, *bang for buck* -- I'm a believer! The linens, the toilet articles, the "happy hour" (and BI Barnacles!), the *breakfast* -- all top notch. Need a beach towel or beach chair, iron or hair-dryer, suggestion for dining or a beautiful walk? Yours for the... more

This hotel is neither romantic nor charming, in fact it is a disaster. First, it is dirty. The drapes and carpet have never been vacuumed and in our bedroom, our mattress was so old that one side sagged about three inches lower than the other side. The sheets had old stains on them. And there was so much furniture in... more

Had high hopes for the Blue Dory based on other traveler reviews, but it was disappointing overall. The staff was friendly enough but the inn is stuffy and over-decorated in a cheesy, gaudy interpretation of "Victorian". The 5:30 snack hour is over-rated too. Our tiny room was run-down with a door that would hardly open and the bathroom wasn't 100%... more

The Blue Dory cottage in which we stayed was about the worst value per dollar we've experienced. Told that our cottage was recently renovated, we were surprised by the B-rate motel-like interior. (A friend's family who visited the Inn separately a few weeks later (and went elsewhere) described the cottage they were shown as a high-priced dump.) The rooms were... more

The Blue Dory was nice, but we enjoyed the porch and view from their other property "Avonlea" (just down the beach) so much more. The "Avonlea" has been renovated and has nice, clean colors with central a/c. (The Blue Dory uses room a/c in the bedrooms upon request.) The "Blue Dory" could stand a few less flowers in their decorations.... more
