The Bellevue House, New Shoreham

The Bellevue House is a terrific place to stay. Great location, great views and a warm friendly staff and owners.

We have been staying at The Bellevue each year for 20 years. Four are now twelve and we use the entire variety of their housing from cottage and apartments to rooms. All great. The Bellevue is historic and relaxing Block Island at its best. It has the breezes of a high hill, the view of the ocean, arefreshing three blocksaunter to the little town, great continental breakfast or all you need to cook with in the apartments. A large yard is perfect for little ones as is the petting zoo across the street - very busy with the toddler set in the morning so others can sleep. Rooms are clean and casual. Those who work on vacationwill find all sorts of computer related facilities downtown so those who are escaping on the Bellevue porch can do just that. Some rooms even have heat if you want to come late in the season. Over the years we have looked at many alternatives and find this perfect for our businessmen, suburban mothers, type A children, artist grandmother, a family who loves nature, fresh air and good food. Perhaps the best recommendation is to share how each grandchild grows into our love of the Bellevue as they get older. Going there each year is always the favorite part of the year for us all!

This place suited our needs. I wanted a room that was nicely located in Old Harbor because we were just staying a couple of days, and I wanted to be near everything.(Not that anything is too far away, because of the size of the Island!)The room was clean and had beautiful hardwood floors. It also had A/C and a ceiling fan which was a bonus. There is no "front desk" per say you actually have to check in and out across the street at the Harborside hotel through "Block Island Reservations". So if you need anything sent to your room it would be a little difficult. But you kind of have to expect that when you are not staying in a "hotel". Overall, my husband and I were very happy.

My fiance and i loved the cleanliness,and the air condition. The rooms are spacious,and beautiful. The staff is wonderful. The ashley house is the only place we stay every summer.:):):)

This adorable inn is located right in the heart of Block Island. Everything you need is just steps away - food, shops, beach, moped and bicycle rentals, bars and entertainment. I went with my boyfriend and family and we had a great time! The rooms were beautiful and extremely clean. The bedroom furniture was elegant and beautiful. I would highly recommend this inn to anyone. The price was nice too!
