Perfect long weekend to Cape May! We stayed on 3rd floor in the Antique Rose room. It was spacious and cozy. I love quaint charm of old Victorian homes and this did not disappoint. The breakfasts and coffee on the porch each morning were perfect ways to start the day. Parking was a breeze. Quick walk to bustle of town or the beach. I hope to be back!

The quietness and the walkability of the location, the parking lot at this B&B as well as the charming porch breakfast room and the breakfasts were a plus, including the servers. But there is no breakfast until 8:30. We liked and used the small fridge in the room. Can't recommend anything else. This B&B is not for those of us who are elderly and do not want to be concerned with tackling the uneven walkway and especially the stairways. House needs better maintenance...like cleaning (especially sticky-fingers on doors and furniture), updated painting, more and updated electric outlets (I was glad I had brought an extension cord for my laptop which, unfortunately, required that we had to move a heavy bed in order plug it in) and updated lamps (unless you like them rickety and dim), locks on the windows in our room and bathroom, window shades (not darkening) in addition to the provided darkening curtains (we couldn't have any privacy during the daytime unless we used those darkening curtains). Water took a long time to heat up. Not enough places to put toiletries and hang things up in the tiny bathroom. Better quality mattresses, pillows, and towels are also needed.

Horrible. Curtains did not block out light. Breakfast was not healthy and dry. Staff not helpful and people were noisy. Staff did nothing to assist. We had to leave early and were in spring break. So very disappointed. They still have not addressed my concerns via email

The Dormer house was very nice to stay at for our anniversary. We were there around Christmastime and it was so cutely decorated. Just a feel-good vacation and place to stay.

We had an excellent time. The room was comfortable, food was excellent and the walkability to Cape Mays attractions was great.

This bed and breakfast was charming and comfortable. The great & filling breakfast was served on a sunny enclosed porch. The problem we had was that right outside our window was a bright light for entry into the building that was like daylight all night long. After telling the staff about the problem, they changed the thin see through curtains to room darkening ones, which helped a little. What is actually needed are blackout curtains and blinds or shades. Do not book Room #3.
