The staff are great, the location is ideal, the restaurant is top notch. The Inn itself shows the signs of wear and age. It is old after all. Also the first floor is a restaurant and piano bar so weekends can be loud depending upon the events. Rooms 1 & 2 seem to have the best views but each of... More

I don't know where to even begin. Let me first start by saying what a gracious, warm, professional staff. From the hostess to the waitstaff. We started out with an appetizer of Boston Bibb “Wedge,” Marinated Cherry Tomatoes Pickled Shallots, Apple Smoked Bacon, Roquefort Dressing and the Chipotle BBQ Grilled Quail, Truffle Potato Salad, Marinated Slaw, Deviled Quail Egg.

I could not have been happier with our two night stay at The Peter Shields Inn. They welcomed us graciously as soon as we arrived at the beautifully appointed bed and breakfast. Despite the rain, the atmosphere inside was sunny, especially with the fireplace going in the downstairs sitting room. Our room was attractive, comfortable and had its own fireplace.... More

We stayed at this wonderful B&B from Sunday, April 14th to Tuesday Aril 16th. We arrived later that we thought we would, around 4:30 p.m. The hostess greeted us warmly and told us that she had just put the wine & snacks out. Our room was spectacular, in the front of the building with a fireplace, a huge bathroom with... More

Where do I start? PSI was great starting from the time we drove toward it on Beach Ave. We were warmly welcomed, given a quick tour, and then headed to our room. It was much more than we expected! We stayed in Garden Room 9, which had a comfy-cozy-country feel, a gas fireplace, a full dresser and mirror, a tv,... More

I booked this room in sleepy Cape May only to find out this hotel is also a booming night club. We ditched our kids at the inlaws and headed down to CM for a wedding at Congress Hall. We checked in at 2:30 PM only to find a wedding had just started in the Inns lobby/1st floor. In my opinion... More

We stayed here the weekend of April 13 and had a wonderful visit. Room #1 was so comfortable - fireplace, ocean front, comfy bed and huge bath. We ate at the restaurant that night and the food was fantastic. The service both at the B&B and at the restaurant was wonderful - everyone was super friendly and accomodating. Our only... More

My husband and I stayed here April 7-10th. This was our first B&B/Inn experience and we loved it! I can't even begin to say enough nice things about this place and the staff. It is an old mansion built in the 1920's I want to say....It has 9 guest rooms and a restaurant. We stayed in room 7. Each room... More

We celebrated my husbands birthday at this beautiful inn on Saturday evening. Reservations a definite must, especially in season! They gave us a nice table on the enclosed porch (much quieter than the large room which has a working fireplace) and there was a piano player there who played all show tunes! Would definitely go back. If you are a... More

Because we had to wait to take a long, exotic honeymooon (due to my husband being a teacher), his parents reserved a room here for a long weekend after our wedding for a "mini honeymoon." We had such a fabulous time. The service is outstanding, the view is incredible, and overall it was such a relaxing trip, which is exactly... More
