Wow....what can I say....this bed and breakfast was just fabulous. I only stay at upscale establishments and this bed and breakfast was everything I could hope for. A very sharp and immaculate establishment. I don't think they missed a thing in making us feel uterly comfortable. Would I go anywhere else in Cape May.... no, I know I wouldn't....lovvvvve it.

Breakfast was delicious and filling. Our room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. On site parking is a big plus. Looking forward to our next stay which is already booked.... More

We've only been to Cape May twice and we've stayed with these folks both times. They've downsized since our last visit, but not on the quality. The inn is small, but they have their own parking. Rooms are good size and ours had a gas fireplace. Snacks and water are always available and breakfast is delicious. They even have bikes... More

My wife and I enjoyed an early anniversary get away at the Fairthorne. A very inviting atmosphere, wonderful food, a great room and perfect location. Ed and Diane make you feel at home, yet you certainly know you are on vacation, since everything you need is taken care of.

The Fairthorne is the first B&B my husband and I have stayed in in Cape May, and it will probably be the only one we ever book if it is available! Lovely, newly renovated rooms within easy walking distance to the beach and shopping. Diane's cooking is amazing...we skipped lunch and waited for dinner after eating breakfast! Since we were...
