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.

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.
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's been a long time since we stayed at a B&B in Cape May. The Dormer House is in a good location and we walked to the beach, restaurants, and to meet up with tours. I really enjoyed our room because we had a sitting area, giving us space to watch a little TV at night and work out in the morning. The small refrigerator was also helpful.

Quaint B&B

We loved our stay in the Antique Rose room. It was on the 3rd floor but stairs are no issue for us. Room was spacious and comfortable. Pillows could have been better, but I would do best traveling with my own because this is usually an issue. The breakfast and seating area were lovely, coffee was good, and staff was attentive. Great location and parking was so easy.

A few lovely days in Cape May

I very much enjoyed my stay. My room was lovely with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities you could anticipate. I highly recommend this B&B and would gladly return. However the next time I'd request a room on the lower floor to avoid climbing an additional flight of stairs.

We loved the ambiance of the Dormer House. It is so quaint! The water pressure in the shower wasn’t great, but overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We hope to return one day!

8/10 Very good

Brilliant place shame about the electrics.

Our stay was very nice and the team were very polite and helpful. Would have been 5 star apart from the power tripping out and impacting our air con when over 100F. Needs a load load check and training of staff to reset breakers fast. I am sure with some planning this one issue could be over come.

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.
