Had a really good dinner this week at The Peter Shields Inn. We chose off the special prix fixe menu, and it was a very good value. Portions were not skimpy, flavors were rich...and desserts were a nice completion to the meal. We were seated in the banquette section along the left-hand dining room -- the pillows are a nice...

This hotel is and island of ellegance, art and history. I found very beautiful rooms, in a historic building. And the people and crew were really kind and educated. Me and my wife enjoyed a great time, relaxing in a marvelous ambience. I will repeat. No doubt. Unforgettable.

Stayed at the P.S. I. for 2 nites before the Memorial Day Weekend. It is a beautiful B&B w/terrific ocean views, a top-notch restaurant, & a very friendly service staff. It is quite pricey but worth the long wait to get reservations. I would reccomend it highly, especially for anyone who hasen't visited Cape May before. If you stay there,... More

Well PSI or the chef did not disappoint us at all! We got there a few minutes early and it was packed, but we... More

Stayed here 1 night 2 weekends before memorial day. The crowds were still low but weather was nice enough to enjoy the outdoors. Couldn't have asked for better service from the B&B. The room was clean and nicely appointed. We stayed in room 2, on the second floor and had a great view of the ocean. Bed was confortable and... More

The staff are great, the location is ideal, the restaurant is top notch. The Inn itself shows the signs of wear and age. It is old after all. Also the first floor is a restaurant and piano bar so weekends can be loud depending upon the events. Rooms 1 & 2 seem to have the best views but each of... More

I don't know where to even begin. Let me first start by saying what a gracious, warm, professional staff. From the hostess to the waitstaff. We started out with an appetizer of Boston Bibb “Wedge,” Marinated Cherry Tomatoes Pickled Shallots, Apple Smoked Bacon, Roquefort Dressing and the Chipotle BBQ Grilled Quail, Truffle Potato Salad, Marinated Slaw, Deviled Quail Egg. Both... More

I could not have been happier with our two night stay at The Peter Shields Inn. They welcomed us graciously as soon as we arrived at the beautifully appointed bed and breakfast. Despite the rain, the atmosphere inside was sunny, especially with the fireplace going in the downstairs sitting room. Our room was attractive, comfortable and had its own fireplace.... More

We stayed at this wonderful B&B from Sunday, April 14th to Tuesday Aril 16th. We arrived later that we thought we would, around 4:30 p.m. The hostess greeted us warmly and told us that she had just put the wine & snacks out. Our room was spectacular, in the front of the building with a fireplace, a huge bathroom with... More

Where do I start? PSI was great starting from the time we drove toward it on Beach Ave. We were warmly welcomed, given a quick tour, and then headed to our room. It was much more than we expected! We stayed in Garden Room 9, which had a comfy-cozy-country feel, a gas fireplace, a full dresser and mirror, a tv,... More
