I highly recommend the Bedford Inn. Its a great location. A block from the beach and close to restaurants and shops! The Inn itself was perfect! The rooms are all nicely decorated and clean. They have front porches on both level to sit outside. But the best part of the inn was our host Ashley. She went above and beyond taking care of all our needs. The breakfast every day was delicious. I will definitely stay there again when back in Cape May!

New Ownership

This was our second summer at The Bedford Inn which is now under new ownership. It's a very nice Inn although a bit pricey but it's the summer season. There is a nice breakfast daily but not as nice as the previous owners provided. The afternoon tea, however, has been moved from The Bedford to another property which requires a 10-15 minute walk. Totally annoying in my estimation. Also, beach badges are no longer provided. It's a lovely inn but I don't know if we'll return due to these changes.

Overall a good weekend

Overall we had a great stay. Ashley was fantastic, the location and some of the perks are great. The room we stayed in was quite small and dated - it could do with some renovation. Price is - like most places in Cape May during peak season - a big negative unfortunately. We understand the demand is driving the prices high during this season - but for $415 a night, you would expect royal comfort, treatment and amenities (beach tags aren't even available!)

The Inn was clean, comfortable and cozy. The room was a good size & the bathroom had a nice walk-in shower. The breakfast for both days was delicious. The staff, Ashley, was extremely friendly, helpful & knowledgeable of the Inn & area. This was such an enjoyable trip we will be doing back int he summer.

Had to walk four blocks for breakfast when bed and breakfast at the same location was expected. Turned out the Bedford Inn has been bought up by the Queen Victoria Inn and others and is now more of a wide-spread campus than a simple bed and breakfast. Very confusing while they transition and staff learn new roles. Wish we had been told not to expect the same as last year since last year had been a true bed and breakfast which we enlisted. The new campus may be completely fine when the dust settles and when people can be accurately told what to expect in the future but this was NOT what we expected when we made our reservation and we over heard numerous complaints while there which are attributable to all new system that has not yet settled in. Disappointed.

A lovely holiday stay

The property was clean and well kept and our room was clean and comfortable (although the door didn't lock!). Paula was quick to help when the battery in one of our remotes didn't work. I was a little disappointed in a "sweet" breakfast -- perhaps just an alternative of simple oatmeal would have been nice. Otherwise all was good!

We stayed in Edward's room. I hadn't realized the property layout. This room was on the first floor right near the front door and the two windows on either side of the bed look onto the porch. When people are on the porch talking, you can hear them. You also hear people coming and going and talking in the parlor or foyer. The room itself was nicely decorated, but some of the furnishing seemed a bit unstable, especially the wardrobe. The temperature of the room was good for us, however, it should be noted that we were told we could only control the AC and that if adjustments needed to be done to the heat, we would have to call Paula and let her know and she would adjust. I mention this because the website description says you have control over both, which is not really accurate. Paula was very nice and accomodating. She was able to meet dietary restrictions and changes. The food was amazing! The wine and cheese or cookies in the afternoon were a nice touch as was the availability of tea at any time. I would recommend the inn, but I would not stay in Edward's room again because of the noise factor.

The location was close to everything that I wanted to do so I just parked the car and walked the whole weekend. Paula gave us some excellent dinner recommendations and she was very helpful with a heat issue we had in the room. The breakfast was very good as well and the hotel was clean and customer service was good as well.
