Back To News/PR Index | | | “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 (www.WorthHouse.com),
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.
“We are truly honored to be included amongst all of the beautiful properties in the contest and to be ranked first is beyond our dreams,” states Jen Blomberg, who owns and operates the inn with husband Jeff Mason. “We are very proud of what we have accomplished, and grateful for the community and our guests for supporting us.” Nominees for all categories of USA TODAY 10Best awards are chosen by a panel of relevant experts which include a combination of editors from USA TODAY; editors from 10Best.com; relevant expert contributors; and sources for both these media and other Gannett properties. The nomination panel for each award category is displayed on its associated contest page. All voting is digital and the 10Best Readers’ Choice Award contest is accessible on the 10Best.com website.
