Guest Reviews

We desperately needed a weekend away when I read that a nearby B&B—the historic C W Worth House in Wilmington NC—had been crowned the #1 bed and breakfast in the country by USA Today, following their annual Readers Choice poll. This marked the third year in a row that the owners, Jeff and Jen, had received this honor! My wife and I had to experience this place for ourselves...See More

We could not recommend the C.W. Worth House enough! Whether you’re coming from out of town or having a romantic staycation, this place is the best. My husband and I stayed in room 4 for our “minimoon” the night of our wedding. Jeff was very helpful in accommodating us when we showed up later than we’d planned. The room was spacious and beautiful. We loved the sunroom/breakfast nook in...See More

We had such a wonderful stay at this bed and breakfast! From the moment we arrived, We felt welcomed and at home. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had so many thoughtful touches that made it extra comfortable. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, offering warm hospitality and great local recommendations. Breakfast was absolutely delicious—fresh, homemade, and a highlight of our stay....See More

Had a wonderful girls weekend with my mom and sister here. We stayed in the Rose and Azalea rooms and both were so nice. Cozy bed with super soft sheets, wonderful breakfast, and perfect location. We enjoyed walking all over downtown, shopping at the vintage market on castle street, and learning the local history. We will definitely be back!!
