We loved our stay at the Dormer House. Authentic old Cape May, quiet neighborhood, easy walk to just about everything. This is not a 'bells and whistles' place, more like going to visit a cherished old family member. Perfect!

Nancy was a great welcome with afternoon tea and treats and the breakfast was delicious. The room was clean and bathtub wonderful. However some ceiling alarm beeped at 5am for awhile and eventually shut off and the bed mattress was not too comfortable.
