When the evening is about to fall, relax in Riverfront Park and enjoy the view of the sunset over the Battleship North Carolina. Wilmington is designated as a Coast Guard City and is home port to the USCGC Diligence.

Wonderful B&B and owners I cannot wait to go back to Wilmington. The house is beautiful, charming and very comfortable. The owners Margi and Doug are super hosts and take great care of you. Breakfasts are tasty, fun, and have enough creativity to make what is familiar interesting again. Location is perfect to the downtown area. Close enough to everything where you can walk yet far enough to have a quiet night sleep. I will be visiting Wilmington more often because of this charming house.

Highly recommend! The owner/operators of C.W. Worth House are terrific and knowledgeable. They have maps of Wilmington on hand and are always willing and able to make good suggestions. On the second floor there are light snacks, sodas, tea and water for the guests to enjoy. Each room has the main bedroom with a full bathroom. Everything was very clean and tidy. The rooms were very quiet without interfering noise from other guests. All guests were seated at the large dining room table for breakfast. Our breakfast was a delicious two course meal with balanced fruit, dairy, bread and protein. Conversation was natural and we enjoyed getting to know the other guests. Street parking was free and you could easily walk to Wilmington's historic downtown.

Perfection in every way! Great location, rooms, food, hosts. Margi & Doug make you feel right at home as they share their gorgeous home. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute. A Victorian home complete with furnishing of the period. Breakfasts that are not only delicious but beautiful as well. Hosts that are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Everything is spotless and very clean. We cannot say enough about this B & B. We have stayed at many, many B & B's in the U.S. and the U.K. This one is far and away the best ever! Many thanks to Margi & Doug!

I booked this house because my husband loves turret rooms and one was offered. We were not disappointed! Our hosts were amazing! So welcoming and informative about the area! Their siamese, Simon, was equally hospitable. He wasn't allow to roam the house but I did manage to sneak in a stroke or two! Breakfast was delicious and coffee available every morning by 7. We can't say enough about our stay! Our turret room was all the way to the top floor with a private bath and sitting room. Truly worth every dollar! We will stay again!

I stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days and it was great! The keepers are amazing. The home is beautiful, well kept, spacious, and great location. We still talk about the upside down cake and quiche we had for breakfast. Perfect stay for a family or just a get away.

Our company stay at the C.W. Worth House was amazing! The team was able to recharge and get work done while being close to downtown. The beds we're super comfy and the breakfast was amazing! Definitely ask for the banana pecan upsidedown pancake because that was incredible! The location was awesome, 15 minute drive to the beach and a short walk to downtown. Dinner was really easy to find and a couple places were open late on the Riverwalk. We also took two tours reccomended by the innkeepers which were both informative and entertaining.

This was our first experience at a B&B and it was delightful! The house is beautiful and inviting and Margi and Doug treat everyone like family. From soaking in the clawfoot tub to strolling through their gardens, you can't help but leave relaxed and refreshed. Absolutely wonderful!

My fiance and I stayed here over this past weekend for our 3 year anniversary and it was by far amazing. The house was so clean and decorated beautifully, the owners were so friendly and helpful and made the most amazing breakfasts each morning. Would recommend everyone to stay here if ever visiting Wilmington if you want a nice relaxing weekend away. (:

We went here for our one year anniversary and my wife and I had an amazing time at the C.W. Worth House. Despite us arriving a little past our check-in time, the innkeepers were extremely nice and even offered us two glasses of wine for free! The room was great as well and very clean. Breakfast in the morning was very good and you could tell them put time into cooking it. I would highly recommend this place for the next stay in Willmington!
