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.

The location is excellent with great access to beach and town. The street is quiet and the homes in the area are beautiful. The service was great. The hotel needs some TLC- there were even some small things that could be done to improve it. There was peeling paint on the ceiling and rust around radiators. Walls would have hooks and no paintings. The decor has not been updated in a long time. So overall a good experience that could have been made great with some attention to detail and basic maintenance.

All the housekeepers were excellent. They were friendly and were very helpful.
The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Afternoon cookies were a delightful treat along with tea.
The room was comfortable and clean. The property was quiet and relaxing.
We will definitely visit again and recommend to others.

Dormer house itself shows its age and may not suite the younger crowd, but evokes a gentile atmosphere of the Victorian era very pleasant for those who appreciate that age.
