I was informed by the innkeeper that I paid more by going through expedia than if I called directly to the B&B. And here I thought Expedia provided cost savings on lodging. I learned my lesson. The room we were had an issue with the lock. Nancy was kind enough to move us to another unit for the remainder of our stay. The breakfasts were delicious.

Lovely Victorian B&B within walking distance of the beach and shops. Private parking lot. Room was very comfortable with private bath. Fresh home cooked breakfast every morning. Centrally located but quiet. Traditional Victorian style with modern conveniences. We will definitely return.

Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. For a 125 year old house, it’s in very good shape. Both exterior and interior were nicely decorated for the holidays. Our room had noticeable peeling plaster walls and a cracked window but that didn’t inhibit a good night’s sleep. Towels could be upgraded and softer. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious!

First time visiting Cape May, Booked a few days before the christmas parade weekend without any issue. My girlfriend and I own a home from around the same time period as the dormer house and we have always liked to see the old architectural elements and the Dormer House has plenty - it has many of the original details still preserved in the common areas. Rooms are fine for the age of the building, most (all?) have their own private shower+restroom. Bed was pretty comfortable, and I believe it was recently replaced. They cook the breakfast to order, and it was delicious both days we stayed. The staff was very helpful throughout, Alose close enough to walk to the mall and other shops/ foods
FIreplace in the common area, decorated for christmas.
Antique tea cups to enjoy the tea and cookies that they leave out after 3pm.

The property is well maintained, clean and the staff were outstanding. If you want a quiet location within walking distance to the beach and shops this is it. Breakfast is also fantastic and prepared once you are I’m ready, not in advance. A
