Voted one of Cape May's top 5 Bed & Breakfasts, the Bedford Inn is an impeccably restored Victorian Bed & Breakfast in the heart of Cape May offering a charming, year-round escape just steps from pristine beaches. Built in 1883, the Bedford Inn features 10 guest rooms with period antiques, plush mattresses with crisp white linens, as well as newly renovated private baths with luxurious artisanal amenities. Our gourmet breakfasts - served in our formal dining area which features a hand painted mural - highlight local produce as well as fresh fruits and herbs grown in our garden. Within walking distance to all of the activities on offer, the Bedford Inn is the ideal home base from which to explore our region's bounty. Overlooking our garden, named a Certified Wildlife Habitat, our two large verandahs afford the ideal opportunity to relax and take in the fresh sea air while you read a book, savor a glass of wine, or plan your itinerary. Our cozy sitting room - with a fireplace for the colder months - offers comfortable seating where you can enjoy a tea or coffee, play a board game, or chat with other guests. We invite you to enjoy the legacy of Cape May at the Bedford Inn.
Located on the southernmost tip of New Jersey, Cape May - America's first seaside resort - is defined by its coastal charm and Victorian architecture. With miles of pristine beaches less than a block away, the Bedford Inn is ideally located within walking or biking distance of boutique shopping, world-class dining, and a picturesque lighthouse. Home to a burgeoning artisanal wine and spirits scene, Cape May is also known for its nightly live music, arts, fishing and birding.
