The Towers is a boutique, luxury B&B located in downtown Milford, the heart of southern Delaware. Nearby are Atlantic and Bay beaches, the state capital of Dover, the DE Turf Sports Complex and Dover Downs. The Towers was built in 1783, but was dramatically remodeled in 1891 in the lavish "steamboat Gothic" style. In the early 19th century it was home to Delaware 's most famous poet, John Lofland. It was later owned by William Burton, Delaware's governor during the Civil War. A walking tour of historic downtown Milford includes many homes and buildings listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Milford's Riverwalk offers pleasurable strolling along the banks of the Mispillion River, once the location of Milford's shipbuilding industry. A few miles south of Milford is one of the largest concentrations of outlet shopping stores in the United States. No smoking, no pets and no children under the age of 14 Business travelers are offered a 20% discount on weekdays.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
My wife and I stayed here for a weekend while in town for a memorial service. We were very impressed by design and details of this enormous house. The large garden area is beautiful as well, which almost surrounds the breakfast dining area. The food was very good and substantial.
Even if the B&B is full, the property is large enough to afford privacy in the several different common areas which is a plus in the Covid-age. The owners and innkeeper were courteous in following all guidelines in this regard. The walls in our room (The Garden Room) must be pretty thin however as we were able to hear the people in the next door.
If you're looking for an historic and classy place to stay in the Milford area I would definitely recommend checking the Towers B&B out.

Thank you Rhonda, Rhonda was the most amazing host and showed us around town. She is very knowledgeable regarding the town of Milford and surrounding attractions. She is Totally invested in creating a wonderful guest experience. The different rooms/suites provided varied experiences. This stately home embraces a warm welcoming atmosphere and we always felt welcome. My husband and I are a racially diverse couple and always felt respected and engaged in conversations as well as having our privacy honored by Rhonda and her husband, who we met when he was in town from NY. Each breakfast was craftfully prepared and peach tea, my favorite was always offered with a butler of variety. It was a pleasure to be asked about any food allergies, preferences or dislikes. We enjoyed the private pool on warm days and deliciously smelling towels were available or guests. Our first stay was in 2005 with several others that followed. This prompted us to become Milford De.residents from Pa. This B&B is worth the warm experience and close to several appealing attractions.

This was a wonderful experience, property with caring and attentive staff. Antiques adorned the property which was rich with original Victorian millwork. Food was outstanding and we enjoyed visiting with the innkeepers and Hanna who was always available to answer any questions we had. Really great value and highly recommended

My husband and I enjoyed one night at The Towers in Milford. The house is a real treasure - beautifully maintained and thoughtfully furnished with Victorian period charm. Our hosts, Dan and Rhonda, were gracious and welcoming. The location is convenient for walking to shops and restaurants. And the perfect finishing touch to our brief stay: a delicious candlelight breakfast in the elegant dining room!

Not often do you find such elegance in a small town bed and breakfast. After searching for THE B&B to escape with my husband, I ran across the pictures of The Towers on-line and said "yes - this is it." The pictures are nice but nothing beats actually being there and seeing the fine beauty and royal feeling you get when you first walk in. Mr. and Mrs. Bond are a beautiful couple and made us feel right at home. They opened up their home and the rest was on us (hee hee). We stayed in the gorgeous Rapunzel Suite and SWEET it is. The B&B is a very close drive to Lewes, Midway and Rohobeth. Even found a great new restaurant (Abbott's Grille) walking distance. We definitely had a difficult time leaving this place - but we'll be back. I recommend this highly for those who want a romantic, affordable time together.....

This was one of the best B&B's we have ever stayed in -- no matter the price. The web site does not do it justice. The decor is, well, you could spend an hour in every room just going over the details, the food was great and served in a beautiful breakfast solarium overlooking the garden, the couple who owns it are as pleasant and sweet as they come, our room had a sitting area with fireplace, a marble walk-in shower and a great big fabulous old antique bed. The town of Milford adds to the whole experience – it’s like stepping back into Mayberry. There’s very little traffic and families dot the river fishing in the evening. There's only one restaurant in the town, a modest affair where we had scrumptious fried chicken, sweat potato biscuits, collard greens and a carafe of very good house wine. We then took an after-dinner stroll on the River Walk before we took in a production at the local community theatre and it was hilarious. We had a beautiful weekend and very inexpensive. Definitely going back.

What a wonderful place to stay. We were lucky enough to have the whole house to ourselves for the night and also upgraded to tower room overlooking the front of the property. Dan told us with great enthusiasm about the history of the house going back to the civil war and before. We had a great nights sleep and the freshly cooked breakfast was terrific.

When we arrived at The Towers, Dan gave us a tour of this beautiful house. The details inside the home are just beautiful. We stayed in the Towers Room, which was very comfortable and roomy! The breakfast were very good. Our hosts were wonderful people. I just wish they had taken care of the small details like: fresh towels every day, an evening snack, water in fridge, and upkeep of the plumbing [it takes forever for the water to get hot & shower does not drain very well]!

I just spent the best birthday I have ever had at the Towers Bed & Breakfast in Milford Delaware. This beautiful house is perfect for a princess or a queen. The Painted Lady historical pink victorian house is absolutely stunning, inside and out. I was in the Rapuhnzel Suite, 3rd Floor, with a little balcony that overlooks the main street. All of the rooms are equally charming. The entire house is absolutely gorgeous. Rich detailed wood, a music room, a reading room, warm, soft comfortable bedding with luxurious sheets. The house is beautiful and clean and very inviting. Our hosts, Chris and David are gracious, beautiful people. The B&B owners, Sharon and Dan are equally loving and caring. Upon arrival, you are greeted like a long lost relative, then you are shown to your room and left alone - the perfect hosts. Let me stop gushing about the house and talk about the food for a minute.. Breakfast day one - Delicious savory cheesy sage sausage quiche with fresh fruit, strawberries, bananas and oranges and delicious coffee and fresh squeezed juice. Breakfast day two, Warm thick belgian waffles, crispy on the outside, warm and chewy with citrus syrup, strawberries, bananas, apples and homemade whip cream. With crispy bacon and coffee and juice. Going to the Towers is a treat. It is the kind of place you go to when you really love yourself, or someone else. If you want to fal lin love, take them to the Towers. If you want to stay in love, or fall back in love, take them to the Towers. Also, visit the Farmer's Market on Walnut Street on Saturday morning and get tickets to the Riverfront Theater - no matter what is playing, you will have great seats and a great time.

My new bride and I had our wedding in the beautiful garden behind the Towers. It is a perfect location for a small wedding of about 50 people and everything went off without a hitch. Christopher and David were the perfect hosts and were more than accommodating to our needs. We spent two nights in the Birds Nest suite which has a lot of room to move about and an updated bathroom with a walk in shower. The inside of the house is beautiful, historic and the woodwork is stunning to look at. Breakfast was delicious. I wouldn't recommend staying anywhere other than The Towers in downtown Milford.
