Wilmington, NC: The Wilmington and Beaches Convention and Visitors Bureau [CVB] is pleased to announce that The C.W. Worth House Bed & Breakfast in Wilmington, North Carolina, was voted as the #1 Best Bed and Breakfast, according to the 10Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest sponsored by USA TODAY.
“The Wilmington and Beaches CVB congratulates the C.W. Worth House B&B on its number one ranking in the 2023 USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice travel award contest for Best Bed and Breakfast,” states Kim Hufham, President/CEO of the New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority. “This national recognition is a testament to the innkeepers’ commitment to excellence and shines a spotlight on Wilmington’s bed-and-breakfast inns.”
The C.W. Worth House Bed & Breakfast, Wilmington’s longest-operating B&B, is located in a historic Queen Ann style home (c. 1893). In February 2022, Jeff Mason and Jen Blomberg purchased the popular inn and completely remodeled it with updated accommodations and modern conveniences throughout the home. There is also an inviting fire pit and water garden in the back yard and a third-floor game space with a billiards table. As a guest, travelers are treated to a full gourmet breakfast and complimentary evening wine social hour. The C.W. Worth House is located just three short blocks from the pedestrian-friendly Wilmington Riverwalk with easy access to more than 200 shops, restaurants, attractions and tours.
