Absolute perfection. If that's what you are in search of in a getaway, look no further. The Towers is a bed and breakfast connoisseur's dream. Built in 1783, The Towers was once the home of Delaware Governor William Burton. Major renovations supervised by his daughter in 1891 converted the original colonial structure into an elegant Victorian mansion. Expertly restored in the 1980s, The Towers now serves as one of the nation's outstanding luxury bed and breakfast inns. To make reservations visit our website or call us at 302-422-3814.

My husband and I stayed for a weekend after a very stressful couple of months, where both of us were badly injured and are still recovering. Christopher and David were fantastic hosts, providing all those special extras that made us feel welcome and cared for. They were very informative both about the history of the home, which has a great story to it, as well as things to do in the area. We'll be back!

A friend and I discovered this B&B when we needed to stay an extra night near Rehoboth over Fourth of July weekend and everything in Rehoboth was booked or would not let us stay for just one night. Thank goodness for that, because as a result, we found this amazing place. We both wished we could have stayed much longer. The house is beyond description for any antiques and history lover, and the proprietors told us fascinating stories about the history of both the house and the town. This old house has been lovingly preserved; it is like walking into a museum! And incredible touches abound...such as the beautiful soft music wafting through the first floor when we came back from dinner out in the evening. We could have sat in that relaxing parlor for hours! And the breakfast! Magnificent food beautifully presented in a lovely garden room. We felt totally pampered. If you're looking for a unique experience, I highlyl recommend this place - especially if relaxation is your goal. As I said, we wished we could have stayed and relaxed there for a week.

5 out of 5Wonderful Getaway!
September 06, 2009
My husband and I decided to get away to celebrate our anniversary. I must say that the Towers Bed & Breakfast is by far the most wonderful place to go. It's classic. So must history there. It's really quite FABULOUS! Aside from the breakfast being sooooo...... DELICIOUS! Dan and Rhonda (Inn Keepers) must be the warmest and kindest individuals we've ever come across. They were so gracious. Just GO! You will LOVE it! They have their B&B so well keep. My husband and I are going to make it tradition to visit at least once a year, if not MORE!

Gracious hosts invite you to enjoy every aspect of their unique Inn. You can indulge in piano playing,enjoy the wind up victrola, sitting parlors, outside gardens and they are eager to share their knowledge of the area. Delicious breakfasts in their new garden room were a great start to the day.

May 17, 2009
My hubby surprised me with a getaway trip to our first B&B. The Towers was very unique and beautifully decorated. Dan and Rhonda Bond were very friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the Tower Room with the magnificant claw-foot tub. It was very relaxing and indulging. Lewes and Rehoboth are close to get to for shopping and touring. Milford has a quaint little riverwalk. We'll definitely come back again.
4.0 out of 5HONEYMOON IN HEAVEN!!!
April 08, 2009
My wife and I spent our honeymoon weekend here. It was truly a treat to have found. The town is quiet, and so serene, I actually thoughtabout moving there. The host was so nnice and hospitable. I plan on taking her back later this year as a surprise. We have already agreed that it would be our one-year anniversary getaway. Try Georgia House for dinner, and Three Little Peppers for lunch. The food was out of this world.
