Bedford Inn - A Victorian B&B with gourmet dining and Certified Wildlife Habitat garden

Located three blocks from Cape May Beach, this 4-star Cape May hotel occupies an 1883 Victorian building featuring a nearly flat roof and deep overhanging cornice with double brackets. The Bedford Inn houses 10 rooms with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, individual climate control, and artisanal rosemary-mint amenities. Daily gourmet breakfasts showcase local produce and herbs from the property's garden, served in a dining area adorned with a hand-painted mural and crystal chandelier. The property includes two spacious verandahs overlooking a Certified Wildlife Habitat garden, along with a cozy sitting room featuring a fireplace. Bedford Inn provides complimentary beach tags, chairs, and outdoor showers for guests. The location puts visitors within walking distance of Washington Street Mall's boutiques and the town's acclaimed restaurants. The property sits 46.5 miles from Atlantic City International Airport.

Pros

Daily homemade pastries and breads served at breakfast

Afternoon tea service includes fresh-baked goods and savory snacks

Certified Wildlife Habitat garden attracts birds and butterflies

Complimentary beach equipment provided

Cons

75-kilometer distance from nearest international airport

Three-night minimum stay required during August

“This impeccably restored Victorian inn, dating back to 1883, provides a unique afternoon tea and personalized service, showing a commitment to detail; the use of fresh herbs and fruits from their own garden adds a special touch. While some find the prices a bit high, particularly during peak season, the communal spaces and proximity to the beach provide a relaxing atmosphere. In my opinion, it's a charming choice for those seeking a blend of history and beachside leisure.”
