Charming getaway

Perfect location and reasonably priced. Like much of Cape May, the amenities are Victorian era with updates, so the bathroom was nit ideal. But charming decor and breakfast.

Winter in Cape May

The house is beautiful. The room was spacious and clean. I wish the breakfast was more health conscious and used better ingredients and products. Other than that it is a very nice place. Very convenient to everywhere. Would stay again.

We have been to about 8 to 10 bed-and-breakfast. This is the only time they did not have any type of in keeper on site. I did not like they had one choice of breakfast and the room that we sat in was freezing cold.

The Dormer House is perfectly situated between shopping and beach areas. Thoroughly enjoyed the home’s holiday decor, Victorian atmosphere, and coziness of our room. Beautiful, bright room to enjoy the wonderfully prepared breakfasts. Special afternoon treats awaited us when we returned from the day’s activities out and about.

Absolutely lovely property Well kept and cozy We had the suite and enjoyed the jacuzzi tub And room was spacious Only downfall is 3rd floor would not be good for elderly or anyone who has a hard time with stairs. The breakfast was also very good. We will definitely go back

It would have been nice to be greeted by the innkeeper instead of just sent emails and told to pick up your keys from the table and leave them there when you check out. The breakfast was good.
