I spent a week at the Inn alone. I am a middle aged woman. I never felt alone - I felt eveyone was my family. The staff made every accommodation for me and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.The rooms were beautiful and the food was excellent. My husband and I are having separate vacations this year and mine at... More

We really enjoyed out stay. We were really pleasantly surprised by the service you get. The breakfast is delicious every morning. There are bikes you can use. And, you should definitely try the restaurant at the inn. They have a $50 per guest special prix fixe menu which is worth it. We will definitely go back More

My husband and I celebrated our 2-year wedding anniversary at the Peter Shields Inn. As third time guests (also married there), once again, the Peter Shields Inn delivered a romantic, memorable stay. Our stay this year, however, far exceeded our expectations. The newly redesigned foyer, restaurant, sun and front porches were absolutely beautiful. The choice of décor included all the... More

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon in January 2012. Cape May is pretty quiet during that time of the year, which provided us with much needed rest and time alone. The house is absolutely beautiful and cozy. Our room had a slight view of the beach (right across the street) and had a warm fireplace that we... More

My husband and I stayed at PSI last weekend. What a wonderful place. We will measure every other B+B against this one in the future and it will be difficult to come close to the level of excellence we experienced here.The building itself is lovely and the decor just right. Right across the road from the beach, many rooms with... More

My wife and I needed some downtime after our daughter's wedding, this is what the doctor order. Peter Shields was a very relaxing place, it was very clean, the staff were wonderful. The place was beautiful, the food and the service were awesome. I highly recommend this to everyone. More

We have enjoyed the Peter Shields Inn a number of times over the years-a few long weekends in the summer and even dinner on the night it opened many years ago. It's a beautiful place and directly across from the beach. It looks stunning from the street and has been recently redecorated inside to bring it up to date. Our... More

This mini getaway was sooo needed and the Peter Shields Inn was the perfect location! I booked the Peter Shields Inn for an overnight stay for my mom's birthday - she has always wanted to stay at this beautiful B&B. The Peter Shields Inn was running an amazing $99 special on rooms in March, so we figured it was a... More

Full disclosure - we stayed at the Peter Shields Inn off-season, in March 2012. Cape May is closed down and quiet at this time of year. We stayed one night (and had dinner) on a driving trip to Florida. Having said that, if PSI is this nice off-season, it must be awesome when you can go to the beach too!... More

Stayed here on a driving holiday from New York to New Orleans. This place is terrific, from the staff (especially Bridget) to the decor and the meals. Nothing could be faulted. Free wine and cheese at 4.00pm just added to the elegance. It was like stepping back in time! A wonderful one night stay and wished that we could have... More
