    We have been staying in Cape May B&B's for over twelve years and I must say that this was one of the best so far. The innkeeper was very personable and attentive and made the stay very pleasant. Even though we usually try to stay at a different inn each time, we will return in the future. Try the Bedford, you will not be disappointed.

    My Mother and I came to Cape May to attend my sons graduation from the United States Coast Guard Training Center. We decided to stay at a B&B rather than a motel. After reviewing each and every available website feature Cape May Inns I decided to book at The Bedford Inn. The on-site parking was a huge plus as street spaces were very rare while we were there. The location was perfect, we comfortably walked all over the place. The Inn is so beautiful. Our room was very nice with lots of space and privacy. Archie & Stephanie are so helpful and friendly. Great job! 5 Stars! Donna Marie Panama City, Florida


    Excellent in every way! We will be back!

    My wife and I came to Cape May in November 2008 to attend the Madonna concert in Atlantic City. After much research I settled on the Bedford Inn for our Saturday through Monday visit. The research paid off as we could not have had a more enjoyable visit to Cape May. The Bedford Inn not only has a fantastic location, but the decor, rooms and amenities were all First Class. Afternoon tea and breakfast was delicious. The public rooms and our bedroom were comfortable, spotless and beautifully decorated.. Great on-site parking was an added bonus. Having stayed in bed and breakfast establishments in Baltimore, Charleston and Savannah, I can honestly say that the Bedford Inn in Cape May was by far our favorite. I would like to give a special mention regarding the Inn owners Archie and Stephanie. They were wonderful from the second we arrived. The concern they demonstrate in making sure their guests are enjoying their visit was appreciated. They were warm, friendly and attentive. In closing I can say only say that we loved the Bedford Inn and that we will be back! Joe and Leslie Schaitberger Alpharetta (Atlanta), Georgia
