Experience Genuine Southern Hospitality at C.W. Worth House Bed and Breakfast

A Victorian Inn located in Historic Wilmington, North Carolina

We welcome you to the C.W. Worth House, a historic Wilmington, North Carolina bed and breakfast which has been welcoming guests since its bed and breakfast restoration in 1985. Reminiscent of days gone by and a past rich in history, C.W. Worth House Bed and Breakfast allows you to share past southern traditions in a rather extraordinary fashion. Since its construction in 1893, this 125 year old mansion has endured many transformations from a private home to a boarding house to a bed and breakfast. We are a traditional home-based bed and breakfast with a comfortable and casual atmosphere. We strive to provide you with experiences and memories you will remember. By booking directly with a bed and breakfast as an alternative to a hotel or AirBnB, you are supporting a small, local business and helping to insure the preservation of historic buildings and communities.

For your comfort and convenience, the Inn offers seven unique guestrooms and balances a mix of Victorian charm with modern amenities. As you step through the gate, the spacious southern porch invites you to slow down, relax and enjoy. Check availability and reserve your getaway today!

USA Today named Wilmington “Best American Riverfront” for good reason. The downtown overlooks the river with Instagram-worthy sunsets. You will find diverse shopping, farm-to-table dining, local fresh seafood and International cuisine. Things to do include house tours, food tours and a lively performing and visual arts scene. And if the beach is your thing, there are four nearby white-sandy beaches. Wilmington offers something for everyone. Wilmington’s nightlife is alive and well with jazz, blues and varied live entertainment which complete the night scene. There are five local theater groups performing year-round. Depending on the time of year, downtown welcomes art fairs, festivals and holiday events. Explore downtown Wilmington at your own pace and discover for yourself what makes it so memorable. After all, you never know when you might find the next best boutique, collectible, souvenir shop, craft brewery or street-side cafe. Downtown Wilmington awaits you!

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.

The picturesque campus of UNCW, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington is located 5 miles from the inn and midway to Wrightsville Beach. We gladly offer visitors to the campus a special discount.

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!
