I had never stayed in a B&B before, so had no idea what to expect. Susan & Elan went out of their way to allow us to change out of our "period clothing" before traveling, even though we had "checked out" 2 hours previous to our need. The rooms were well cared for and the breakfasts and afternoon tea were delicious and plentiful. If you are going to Cape May, seriously consider Leith Hall as your

My wife and I love going to Cape May in September, the crowds are down and the ocean is warm. This year we decided to try a bed and breakfast instead of the usual hotel stay. Searching the internet to find one consumed many of my evenings. We finally decided on Leith Hall after reading many reviews of many B&B's. Upon arrival, we knew we made the right choice. The location was beautiful, a block from the beach and an easy walk to shopping and restaurants. The real key to our enjoyment was the owners and staff. We immediately felt welcome and it was obvious the owners were passionate about evey aspect of the bed and breakfast experience. For my money, if you enjoy good food and conversation, Leith Hall is at the top of the list.

We had an exceptional experience at Leith Hall. It is very close to the ocean and all of the wonderful shops at Cape May. A short drive to the lighthouse made our trip complete. Susie and Elan and staff made our stay wonderful...and their food was an added bonus!

After reading the 8 reviews posted about this B&B, I am wondering if we're talking about the same place. Leith Hall was shabby, and overwhelmingly centered on the man of the house, including a daily dose of his very liberal (and intrusive) political opinions at breakfast and teatime. Food was quite good, as were the towels in the bathroom and the rockers on the porch. I had to ask for help with my luggage (having been relegated to the second floor Turkish Room) and even then, the owner only took it part way to the car. Although I only stayed two nights, with a night in Atlantic City between the two in Cape May, I had to pay for 3. It is true that the location is good, and within walking distance of most of the interesting places to see in the historic district. For the money ($250/night plus tax), it was very poor value.
Innkeeper Response
We hope to give our guests a personal, fun experience at our bed and breakfast with lots of good food and entertaining chat on the porch - mostly about Victoriana, travel, things to do in Cape May, not usually politics. It sometimes happens that people want to try a "Victorian Bed & Breakfast in Cape May" but find out that they prefer the high-roller experience in a glitzy casino hotel in Atlantic City. This is clearly true in this case as many of his comments only make sense when talking about a hotel. For example, when guests make a reservation at our B&B, they choose the specific room that they want to be in - we do not have interchangeable rooms like a hotel so the comment about being "relegated to the second floor" simply doesn't make sense. The suite he chose (only available on the second floor) is one of our largest and has onsite parking. In our description we always mention what floor a room is on because some people don't want to walk to the third floor. We are in an 1880s Victorian house so we do not have an elevator. I find it surprising that the guest is complaining about someone helping him bring his luggage down from the second floor (we are not a hotel with bellhops but usually offer to help bring luggage down)! The luggage was brought down to the front of the house so that the guest could bring his car up to the front to put the luggage directly into the car. This was meant to be helpful, not annoying. The guest reserved three nights in our inn. He never spoke to us about not paying for the night he chose to stay in Atlantic City (right in the middle of his visit) - I think staying in Atlantic City that night must have been a last minute decision based on not wanting to drive after drinking. I believe this guest is used to and prefers large hotels with bellhops and elevators. I am glad that he enjoyed the food, the towels, and the rocking chairs.
