The Bedford Inn is a 10-room Victorian Bed & Breakfast a block from Cape May's pristine beaches and within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and other activities. There is free on-site and street parking available.

We stayed at the Bedford Inn as a weekend get-away. It exceeded all expectations: a beautiful house, a great and clean room, and the breakfast was on both days a surprise - freshly cooked. Location is perfect: beach, shopping and restaurants all in walking distance. And the car can be parked without efforts. Worth every penny.

We appreciate the cleanliness of this house! It was nice to walk into a rental that is well maintained and properly cleaned. Overall our stay was peaceful. When inside, you don't hear anything outside or from the neighbors. The guest book had some recommendations for things to do and places to eat. We were grateful for this, as we did not plan things to do. We did some of the activities listed and had lots of fun. The restaurant recommendations were good as well. We walked to the beach and enjoyed it since it wasn't as far as we originally thought. We will definitely recommend this place to others!
