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.
Great place to stay

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.
Wonderful stay, as usual!
