Staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Quiet in the evening and breakfast on the porch was so relaxing. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order, really appreciated the homemade cookies in the afternoon as well. Very convenient location, easy walk to Washington Street Mall and the beach, parking on premises was also a plus. Can’t want to visit again!

I wasn’t clear if the woman Nancy, who greeted us was the owner of the property. Immediately she made us feel welcome with her warm smile and friendly attitude. We reserved the cottage, which was absolutely phenomenal. clean private With lots of room and fully furnished and stocked up with plates and silverware and a coffee pot with coffee. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. We cannot wait to go Go back again, but this time we will spend several days instead of one night. We had no idea how great it would be. Cannot say enough about the delicious, homemade pancakes and sausage and fresh brewed coffee. So accommodating and friendly. This is a 5 star property.

Lots of charm, good value and great breakfast. Coupled with an ideal location barely 5 minutes walk from the beach and the downtown shopping center of Cape May and you have a great choice for accommodation. Just be aware this is a 100 yr old B&B with no full time staff, some quirks and minimal amenities compared to a full service hotel. Breakfast was fantastic and the rooms spacious and clean. My issue was thus; the doorknob on my room fell off every time I used it, which was very inconvenient, unsafe and frankly annoying. They sent someone to fix it, after which it promptly fell off again. Unfortunately this fell off with the door locked at midnight, meaning I had to jam a rolling chair castor into the door to open it otherwise sleep on the couch in the lobby. No one answered my call during this issue and the next day no one called me back to offer an apology until I called to inform them, largely so they would fix it for the next guest. I suppose in my book, it warranted a credit, or even a free night offer in the future, rather than "this is an old property and we apologize". Take it for what you will.

The Dormer House is a beautiful bed and breakfast in the heart of Cape May. My husband and I have been coming here for years. Breakfast on the spacious Victorian porch was delicious. The homemade cookies in the afternoon were yummy. The rooms are charming. The reason for the good this time and not excellent were that the silverware was not the cleanest, the chairs and tables on the porch were wobbly, and the bedding and sheets were rough. Also, in previous visits we were greeted and welcomed by the owner/manager but not this time which makes you feel at home. However, we will most likely be back again. It is a gorgeous Victorian bed and breakfast centrally located with lots of charm.
