Bedford Inn
Voted one of Cape May’s top five bed & breakfasts.
An impeccably restored Italianate villa a short walk from the beach, Washington Street Mall and the town’s finest tables. Two wraparound verandahs look over a garden certified as a wildlife habitat, the right place for a glass of wine and no particular plan.
All of our guests have access to tea service at our nearby sister property The Queen Victoria as well as any other amenities at that property.

Property History
A mother-daughter house, joined in the middle
The Bedford went up in 1883 as a “mother-daughter” pair of living quarters — one family, two halves. It became apartments, then a bed & breakfast, when a passageway was finally opened to join the two sides into one house.
Much of Cape May’s own history is on the walls. The dining room of the Italianate villa carries a wraparound mural of the original Convention Hall, the lighthouse, and the Atlantus — noticeably less sunken then than now.
