We did not have reservations when we were heading to Cape May so chose the Cliveden Inn from a travel book we had picked up at a rest stop. We arrived later in the evening and were graciously welcomed and given a choice of two rooms. Sue and her staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful. When we found they didn't... More

My husband and I decided last minute to stay in Cape May this past weekend. After searching for any open B&B we came across the Cliveden Inn. Sight unseen we agreed to book a room. We were pleasantly surprised to see it's location as it is 2 or so blocks from the beach. The house was super clean and the... More

Our friends invited us to join them in Cape May for the weekend, so we booked the Cliveden Inn. Location wise it is excellent - two blocks from the beach and 5-10 minute walk to Washington Street Mall. The owner and staff running the Inn are very friendly and knowledgable of the area's restaurants, activities, etc. Our room was located... More

Just finished our 3 days at the Cliveden Inn and I have to say it was wonderful. The Cliveden Inn is so centrally located that you park the car and dont have to drive until you leave. It is a short walk to the beach, mall and all dining! Sue and her staff make the Cliveden Inn one of the... More

We stayed at the Cliveden Inn for three nights in April and enjoyed the experience so much that we'll book our return visit for an entire week. The main reason for choosing the Cliveden was that it is dog friendly. We stayed in the Cliveden's cottage for more room, privacy, and dog isolation. For us the cottage is perfect; it... More

We were in Cape May on the off season, so many of the B&B's were closed. We just started walking down Columbia street and came to the Cliveden Inn. After ringing to door bell we met the most lovely women, Helen, who invited us in and made us feel welcome. Our room was comfortable as was the bed, we slept... More

Although we've been to Cape May many times over the years, this is the first time we traveled with our dog. The Cliveden offers a couple of rooms on the first floor that have plenty of floor space to park a dog crate, and Helen and Peggy were both fantastic about meeting our dog, even though we would have kept...

My husband & I frequent B&Bs often....well, a little less now that we have a child & one on the way! But this quaint home is just the perfect solution to beat the hustle & bustle of the city/suburbia. Centrally located, its a few blocks away from the beach & the shopping area of Cape May. Hands down, this is... More

After spending years trying to convince my husband to stay in a B&B, he finally skeptically agreed. I expected controversy and complaint from someone who's used to five star hotels, but to my surprize, he loved it! This was our first and I made sure to research for features such as value, ideal location, pet friendly, clean, hospitality, full homemade... More

We with my wife spent last weekend there due to our romantic gataway. What we looked - we got: silent place in awesome city, 3 minutes walking to beach, restaurants etc. Room is small, but pretty nice: everything in there. Hospitality is 5, breakfeast is good, thought no meat. They providing rent of bikes and beach accessories included into room... More
