Winter in Cape May
The house is beautiful. The room was spacious and clean. I wish the breakfast was more health conscious and used better ingredients and products. Other than that it is a very nice place. Very convenient to everywhere. Would stay again.

We have been to about 8 to 10 bed-and-breakfast. This is the only time they did not have any type of in keeper on site. I did not like they had one choice of breakfast and the room that we sat in was freezing cold.

The Dormer House is perfectly situated between shopping and beach areas. Thoroughly enjoyed the home’s holiday decor, Victorian atmosphere, and coziness of our room. Beautiful, bright room to enjoy the wonderfully prepared breakfasts. Special afternoon treats awaited us when we returned from the day’s activities out and about.

It would have been nice to be greeted by the innkeeper instead of just sent emails and told to pick up your keys from the table and leave them there when you check out. The breakfast was good.

Liked: Cleanliness
This bed and breakfast was charming and comfortable. The great & filling breakfast was served on a sunny enclosed porch. The problem we had was that right outside our window was a bright light for entry into the building that was like daylight all night long. After telling the staff about the problem, they changed the thin see through curtains to room darkening ones, which helped a little. What is actually needed are blackout curtains and blinds or shades. Do not book Room #3.
