The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive and the property itself is beautiful! The breakfast is always delicious, and the after noon tea with fresh baked pastries is such a treat. This is our second stay and we already can’t wait to come back.

An awesome B&B

The Harrison is an awesome B&B. Wonderful staff, clean and stylish room, location is close to lots of Cape May favorites. Afternoon tea is a great touch and breakfast is top notch. We sat on the porch and read and relaxed a few times. Highly recommend!

We just enjoyed a long weekend at The Harrison. The staff was friendly and helpful; breakfast each day was different and delicious. There were helpful additions like available umbrellas. The only negative I have is that there were bright lights on the front of the building shining on our windows, and no room-darkening window treatment. The drapes were pretty, but some room-darkening shades would be helpful!

The property was beautiful and the food and staff were wonderful. Our only minor concern was the parking was quite a walk which normally wouldn’t be an issue but it was 110 degrees out and when we got to our room the air conditioning was not working. Our room was on the third floor so it amplified the issue. The staff worked diligently to rectify the issue and by the next day we were more comfortable.

Lovely place with nice rooms. We just visited last weekend, (5-7 April 2024). Room was nice, very clean, and just what the wife & I were looking for. Staff was friendly, and breakfast was good. We stayed out a little late Saturday night, so I went down about 30 minutes before breakfast was ending and the staff was very accommodating, bringing up 2 trays of that morning's breakfast to our room. And... when we left later that morning, we realized we had left jewelry behind, and when we called, they actually found it, and mailed it to us, so they were very honest too, which I appreciated. We have left behind things in other hotels and "no one saw anything", so we really appreciated that. They have sherry & port for sampling/tasting all evening, and have a nice tea time around 4 pm, with coffee, tea, and cookies. We really enjoyed our 2 nights, and will be back again. Walking distance to shopping (washington mall?), a number of restaurants, and we walked down to the beach/boardwalk, probably about 10 minutes away as well. Saturday afternoon we ended up walking into Carney's, across from the water, and stayed for hours due to happy hour specials & had a great time, for less :-) Live music, $5 crushes, mistakes may have been made.
