5 out of 5Outstanding B&B
December 19, 2012
We have been guests at the Fairthorne for the past 15 years and always enjoy our visit not matter what the season. Ed and Diane are warm and gracious and make you feel like family. We rate all catagories as "outstanding" and look forward to future visits and the ambiance that Diane and Ed create. Paul & Eleanor

Have been avid fans the past 8 years of this B&B. Although they've 'downsized' the property, there's no downsizing of quality service! A 'must-stay', especially for the 'newbie' B&B traveler. Beth & Peter

We just spent another lovely weekend down in Cape May- and the Fairthorne Cottage is THE place to stay! The hospitality, cleanliness and delicious breakfasts are top notch- Ed and Diane are extremely gracious. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. If you'd had enough of typical Victorian decor, Ed and Diane have put an entirely new spin on comfort and seaside holidays. This was our original honeymoon site many years ago when it wasn't the Fairthorne- and now it's our most favorite place to stay. We've stayed almost everywhere else in Cape May- but we've rarely returned to other places. It's near the Mall and eateries are within walking distance. If you're like us, you're tired of always driving somewhere. Relax and enjjoy what Fairthorne has to offer- we'll be back!

The Fairthorne Cottage is our favorite B&B in Cape May. We've been coming here for over 10 years. We just visited on May 15 & 16, and Diane continues to makes the most delicious breakfasts! All the rooms are extremely clean, very spacious, and the beds are the most comfortable to sleep on. Diane & Ed are great Inn Keepers and are always updating their B&B with beautiful up to date touches. We wouldn't stay anywhere else when we visit Cape May. We can't wait to return! Rick & Sandi

5 out of 5Simply the Best
January 10, 2012
We just spent another wonderful New Year’s weekend at the Fairthorne Cottage. Again, everything was beyond perfection. Diane and Ed have created a wonderful haven. Their attention to detail is amazing... everything is designed for the guests’ comfort and enjoyment and not a thing is overlooked. The breakfasts are special and delicious, the afternoon tea is sumptuous. Of course, it’s the innkeepers themselves that set the tone of a place, and Ed and Diane are some of the most genuine, nicest people you will ever meet. I highly recommend the Fairthorne Cottage for your stay in Cape May.

5 out of 5The best of the B&Bs
September 18, 2011
We love the Fairthorne can't imagine any B&B matching their service and style. Ed and Diane are so warm and accommodating, I feel like a queen staying there. The convenient location is wonderful - one block from shopping and two blocks to the beach! We've been coming to the Fairthorne for more than 10 years in mid September to wrap up our summer and will return as long as possible.

Love staying at the Fairthorne. It is charming. Diane and Ed are the perfect hosts. Diane's breakfasts are fabulous. I love her french toast and eggs benedict. Looking forward to my next stay.
