We had a nice stay there for two nights. They are located in a great location within walking distance to many restaurants. Some things were closed as we were a month early for opening Memorial Day. Inn keepers are very amiable and will answer any of your questions. They serve a big breakfast between 7:30-8:30 every morning. They have parking... More

We had a lovely and relaxing stay at the Dormer House. The house is in a convenient location to the beach and downtown. The front porch and the sunny, cozy sun room are perfect for breakfast and afternoon tea. The breakfasts are delicious and the afternoon tea and sweets are fantastic! We stayed in The Lillian Hastings room which is... More

We had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend at the Dormer House. Our breakfast was delicious as well as our afternoon tea. We stayed in the Dormer Suite on the third floor which was nice and bright. The B&B could use some fresh paint and sprucing up, but it was clean and comfortable. It is in a convenient location close to... More

I always wanted to go to Cape May and stay in a B&B. Our stay at The Dormer House in the John Jacoby Suite was interesting to say the least. We arrived a few minutes before the check in time. We rang the bell that was provided for service four times and no one came out to help us. While... More

This one of our favorite B & B's. Lucille & Dennis are the perfect hosts. They are very knowledgeable about the area and can offer suggestions of where to go, where to eat, and what to see. It is a very relaxing atmosphere, and the breakfasts are delicious. It is also conveniently located to everything - downtown, the beaches, etc....... More

We had a nice stay for the weekend at The Dormer House. We stayed in the Com. John Jacobi suite on the second floor. It was a comfortable room and we mostly enjoyed it, but things could be improved. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable! The website says it is a queen but we have a queen at home,... More

Did a weekend here and enjoyed the place, its older, but charming! The home is filled with antiques. The room was large and had its own bathroom, the breakfast was ample. Its close to the mall and several good restaurants! The ocean and boardwalk is just a couple blocks away. I would gladly stay here again!

I first saw the Dormer House on a Christmas trolley tour and have since passed it many times. I've always wanted to stay here, but could never afford it. I couldn't pass up the great discount they posted online. My family has been coming to Cape May for 20 years and we rarely stay. This was our 3rd place for... More
