My wife and I wanted to visit Block Island for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. We chose the Sheffield House and it was perfect for us. Diane the host was very knowledgeable about the island and also very helpful. We had the smallest room in the B and B, and while it was small, it was very clean,... more

Overall, the Sheffield was a good, though not perfect, place to stay on Block Island. On the plus side, it has a great location -- a <5 minute walk from town, away from the hectic, noisy mid-summer evening revelry. The accommodations are good, clean, with nice details. Also, the prices are good compared to some other B&B/hotel options on the... more

My husband and I stayed at The Sheffield House during our first visit to The States. We loved the B&B and haven't got one bad word to say about it. The location was good, bit of a hill to walk back up of an evening time, but this was no problem as it was good exercise after over indulgence in... more

The Sheffield House is in a very convenient location, close to the ferry, shopping and dining. There is a general store directly across the street. The house itself is very small. I booked rather late in the season and only the smallest room was available. It was tiny, but comfortable. The bathroom was extremely small, the shower is one of... more

My wife and I stayed at the Sheffield house recently and overall enjoyed our stay. The b&b is in an excellent location, just a few minutes walk from town and also close to the Atlantic Inn (recommend doing cocktails on their front lawn overlooking the ocean) and a small animal farm (camels on Block Island? Yup). Another plus is that... more

Perfectly situated about a five minute walk from town; it's close enough to easily walk to most restaurants/bars but far enough away that you don't have to worry about the noise of being right on the main drag. Previous reviews mention a muddy walk but it looks like there's been some roadwork since then as there's now a sidewalk the... more

Wonderful place to stay on Block Island. The Sheffield House is only a 4 minute walk from the ferry in Old Harbor and close to all the attractions. It is situated in a pleasant residential area away from the noise factor intown but close to restaurants, shops, and beaces. We found it to be sparkling, crisp and clean and the... more

Had a nice time. Two or three days is a decent stay. I wouldn't stay longer your first time in this B&B. Like the other review states, the hostess lives here so there are only a couple public areas in the house. She is a very nice woman and a great cook for breakfast. After a couple days you can... more

Good points: relatively reasonable prices for Block Island offerings; good location just a few block from the harbor but far enough away that the noise of mopeds and such do not bother you; Rooms are clean; Nice baked goods at breakfast. Disappointing points: VERY small common area, which meant that besides eating your breakfast at the single table in this... more
