The Fairthorne B and B is the perfect place to stay in Cape May. We have stayed there quite often over many years. No detail is overlooked. Each guest room is extremely comfortable. The entire property is spotless. Breakfasts are delicious. Ed and Diane are very gracious hosts who interact with the guests as well as leave them to enjoy... More

This was our first trip to Cape May to get some much needed rest and relaxation. The Fairthorne did not disappoint. The Gabrielle Room was wonderful, the inn was warm and inviting with just that special touch of luxury. Since it was a cold and rainy during our visit, we loved sitting by the fireplaces, chatting with the other guests... More

The room was spacious and lovely with a special bed that allowed you to make the mattress harder or softer. There was a fireplace and four bright windows. Everything was clean and fresh which is...

We stayed in the Gabrielle Room which is one of the premium rooms in early December. Everything was decorated for the holidays and very lovely. Our room was way beyond what we expected. It was very large and room with both a loveseat and an overstuffed chair, gas fireplace, TV/VCR and it had both a tiled shower and a jet... More

Wanting to treat ourselves after a L-O-N-G 8 weeks of our son being in Coast Guard boot camp, we searched out many places to stay in the Cape May area. Decided on the Fairthorne and couldn't have made a better choice! The house is beautiful and the owners delightful. A very refined, yet, relaxed atmosphere. The linens were great, the... More

My husband and I just returned from our 3 night stay at the Fairthorne Cottage Bed and Breakfast. This was our very first experience at a B&B and it won't be our last. Thanks to Innkeepers/Owners Diane and Ed, we had a delightful time. Terrific accomodations, scrumptious breakfasts, and such outstanding hospitality. We stayed in the Emma-Kate Suite. Great size...

This was our first visit to Cape May and our stay at the Fairthorne only made the experience nicer! Ed and Diane are wonderful hosts; very warm and welcoming; always helpful. Our suite, the Emma/Kate, was extremely comfortable, spacious and inviting. A definite plus is the location: 2 blocks from the beach, 1 block from shops and restaurants, and in... More
