gorgeous place. I loved all the detail. We stayed in a room with a lounge area. The bed was comfortable, the walk-in shower huge, and everything was just so pretty and thoughtfully laid out. The breakfasts were great. Large porch and glassed in area. There was ice available and free parking. We had a fridge in our room. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I had a delightful stay at The Dormer House. The parking area was spacious and right next to the building. Our room was on the third floor, walk-up. The sitting area and spacious bathroom were nice. The breakfast, served from 8:30-9:30 was delicious! So nice to have a hot breakfast served each morning. An extra treat was the cookies for the afternoon tea. Outstanding! Check-in is easy; staff is delightful. We will be back. Thank you!

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!

The warmth and friendliness of the staff and the fabulous breakfasts as well as cookies at tea time make this B&B a special experience. It's also very unusual to have a parking lot in Cape May. The location is great, very close to Washington Mall.

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.

My husband and I stayed at the Dormer House for our first anniversary and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. I have severe dietary restrictions and Nancy and Nancy accommodated and offered assistance to be sure I was taken care of. Our room was clean, homey, and exactly as described. The location is the perfect distance from shopping, beach, and restaurants. We cannot wait to be back!

The property is an old Victorian house but well maintained and managed. The dining area and reception room feels homey. Initially, we were puzzled with the entrance of our room. It was outside of the main building. We have to go around the property twice before we saw the stairs to our room. Overall, we are happy with our stay.
