We experienced comfort and relaxation in our Queen Porch room. The porch addition allowed us the extra space to drink tea and read in the afternoon. The weather changed to chilly during our stay and it was lovely to rest next to the fireplace downstairs. Breakfast was a perfect variety of fruit, pastry, yogurt, and salami. The coffee was outstanding and teas were offered. The Inn is accessible by foot one block to beach and in the other direction the bay. We walked to a number of restaurants and shops. The Inn architecture is historic, quaint, and full of character. The interior design welcoming and warm. We highly recommend the Bentley Inn and will stay on our next visit to Jersey shoreline.

A bay head retreat!

Tess and her husband have done an incredible job with the place! The coffee was delicious, continental breakfast was perfect for a little something to hold us over. We celebrated our mini moon here and had a wonderful time! They’ve thought of everything , providing beach tags, chairs and umbrellas. Even having meats and cheeses available for purchase. We had an amazing time and would absolutely stay again!!

The host could not be more friendly! If you decide to have the French toast for breakfast you will regret it because you will never have it that good again!

Beautifully well kept and exquisitely decorated, this recently renovated B&B is a gem! The ambience is elegant and comfortable and the staff is gracious , polite and accommodating. Breakfasts were delicious and abundant; there's something for everyone! The one block walk to the beach is heavenly. There's a large fridge that guests can use and chilled lemon water is available to the guests 24/7

The inn was light bright and airy, however before warned about the third floor steps. They can be taxing. The best rooms are on the second floor with access to the wraparound porch. The included breakfast was lovely every morning. Surprised the Inn was on route 35. So had to cross to get to beach.

I have stayed at the Bentley a number of times in the past. I enjoyed those visits. On this occasion, admittedly off season, I found the experience barely satisfactory. for the almost three hundred dollar price for one night, staff was almost non-existent, only at check in and one kitchen employee who we asked for hot water checking out. Amenities were not evident after hours. The building is not within walking distance of stores and restaurants. So, really what we engaged was an overpriced small room. I had a similar experience in England many years ago. However, I paid almost nothing and expected an electronic check in and check out. The English establishment was within walking distance of everything in the village. Bentley needs to return to its former glory.

I stayed at the Bentley in on Friday night. Upon my stay I notice a bug in the room and the door leading to the balcony wouldn’t closed. I later brought this to the receptionist because I was by myself and I felt uncomfortable. She then switch the room to another room but I paid for a king size room and I was giving a queen/full size bed. I was a little taken back by the service and when I brought it to the receptionist attention she showed no sympathy. She said those bugs come out in the fall there and I should be fine and another thing that was alarming is the fact she wanted be to stay in a room where the door cannot close.

When I arrived at the facility The door was locked it took us about 15 minutes to get someone to answer . Our sink was leaking in our bathroom, Bright lights in the hallway that leaked through the bedroom door which made it hard to sleep because the bedroom was very bright. Woke up on Sunday morning there was no breakfast only coffee
