Discover the beauty and tranquility of Block Island while you enjoy the gracious hospitality of The Sheffield House, open year round, and located just a short walk from Old Harbor - up High Street in the Historic District, near to ferry, island restaurants, shopping and beaches. The Sheffield House Bed and Breakfast Inn is a charming Queen Anne style Victorian home built in 1888 with wrap-around front porch and private gardens in the back. The "Crow's Nest" in the turret offers a private space for contemplation and spectacular views. The Sheffield House maintains six comfortable guest rooms, most with private bath, and each with a queen-size bed. A delicious gourmet breakfast is served daily, and may be enjoyed in the country kitchen, in the garden or on the porch. A common area provides space for TV, videos, reading, games and puzzles, and a telephone for guest use. The Sheffield House is available off-season for rental (without daily housekeeping or breakfast provided) on a nightly or weekly basis with 3 nights as a minimum stay. This is an attractive option for large family groups wishing to hold a family reunion, celebrate a birthday or anniversary, or enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas, or ringing in the New Year together on Block Island.
