The Dormer House was such a charming B&B. Once we got there and settled in , I couldn't help myself, I relaxed immediatly! We went into the parlor to the wonderful "coffee and tea station" (coffee, tea, and bottled spring water available at all times) made ourselves individual cups of delicious brewed coffee, got our books and sat in rocking...

My husband and I have stayed at B&B's in Cape May for years on our Anniversary and this one did not disappoint. What a lovely place! The owners, Dennis and Lucille were wonderful. They are extremely knowledgable of all the restaurants and events in Cape May and gave us wonderful recommendations. The Breakfast, coffee, and snacks at tea time were... More

But I just didn't. I only stay at Bed and Breakfast places when I travel and Cape May has the mother load of options. We travel here at least twice a year because we love the area. We chose the Dormer House this year due to a fantastic deal offered on Groupons and it was certainly was a great value... More

My wife and I stayed at The Dormer House for 2 nights (May 2nd & May 3rd) on a "Getaway" special run by the B & B. Through our own fault, when booking our room, I picked the "Diana" room after looking at a picture online. This room is located at the rear of the facility and one must climb... More

We have stayed here several times. We always have great time. Dennis and Lucille are such lovely people. The rooms are immaculate, well appointed and give you the feeling of the victorian age. We have spent many late afternoons relaxing on the front porch with a glass of ice tea and a good book. The Inn is walking distance from... More

The Dormer House is situated right in the middle of the town of Cape May, right in the historical district. Upon first glance, you notice the large porch that wraps around the front and side of the house (the side of the house is glassed in and is where breakfast is served each morning). When we checked in, it was... More

We spent one night at the Dormer House and we loved it! The Inkeepers are very friendly and the house is really nice and comfortable. The breakfast room is very bright and cheerful with the yellow tablecloths. We had an afternoon tea with goods baked by Lucille. The parlor is decorated with lovely antiques and there is always music playing... More

I just wanted to say that I had a wonderful stay at the Dormer House last month. My wonderful stay began when I walked in and was greeted by Inkeeper Lucille, She made me feel so welcome and comfortable that I felt as though I had known her for years and she was welcoming me into her home. I was... More
