A perfect stay in the heart of Cape May

This is a charming bed-and-breakfast right in the heart of historic Cape May. Very easy to walk to the shops and restaurants on Washington Street. Also an easy walk to the beach. Everything is so nice.

A Terrific Place to Stay

What a great stay we had at the Dormer House! The historical house is well cared for & so charming. The parking is easily accessible. The room was clean and inviting. Breakfast was on the enclosed porch & over the course of 3 mornings we enjoyed a beautiful & filling meal (Dietary provisions were made for several guests) However, the true standout here is the staff. Everyone is very friendly and ready to suggest a restaurant or supply more towels. We'll will definitely be back.

8/10 Very good

We've been visiting Dormer House for some years and continue to love the location, the excellent parking area and the low key porch vibe. And staff have always been uniformly pleasant and helpful.

Cozy B&B in the heart of Victorian Cape May. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach or the shops. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious and served either in the enclosed porch, or in our case, on the open porch. Will definitely stay here again.

damian, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The structure is a Victorian era, so there are creaky stairs and oddly shaped rooms and that of course is part of the charm of staying in Cape May's Victorian B&B, If you want modern AC, lighting and so forth go to the holiday inn. The AC worked fine, the lighting was quaint, the wifi was good. The hot water was hot and the bathroom was nice, clean, comfortable and relaxing. Service and Breakfast were awesome and filling. (I've been to some that had a spray of asparagus with maple syrup) We parked the car on the private lot and didn't move it until we left. Good deal in a beach town... Will probably be back one day.
