“The Worst B & B Ever!”

Morehead Manor Bed and Breakfast

16 Nov 2007
0/3 found this review helpful

This is the worst B & B. Everything was dirty and grimey. Owner cleans it-- NOT professionally cleaned. We saw ROACHES crawling in the halls and found one in our suitcase. After reading the favorable reviews my wife and I thought it would be nice. They must have personal interests. And it's on a VERY NOISEY INTERSECTION with loud truck traffic.

“Roaches and Noise”

Morehead Manor Bed and Breakfast

5 Nov 2007
1/4 found this review helpful

This one has seen better days. Everything was run down and the cleanliness had much to be desired. We found a huge roach in the bathroom. YUK!! It was a noisy place because of it's location right off a major highway AND on the corner of two busy streets with loud trucks and sirens at all hours which could be heard even with the windows closed.
In it's favor the breakfasts were excellent especially if you have a sweet tooth. We usually love B & B's and always try to find them as an alternative to the Hotels.

Unfortunately these guests were unhappy from the moment that arrived. Because we were unable to meet their unrealistic expectations, we offered to allow them to find other accomodations to their liking. They were unhappy with EVERYTHING, even the prestegious Arrowhead Inn and the Old North Durham Inn. Our Inn is a 1910 Colonial Revival Styled Mansion that was restored in 1997. The Inn has unbelieveble charm, mohogany wood cabinets, hardwood floors, ornate dental moulding, original Italian marble fireplace hearth & crystal chandelier plus many more unique features. If you consider that run down...let me live here forever.
We are inspected annually by the county health department and bi-annually by the North Carolina Bed & Breakfast and Inns Association (NCBBI) and pass both inspections with high scores. Personally, if there were problems with cleanliness, as a guest I would not have chanced eating the breakfast. One thing this business has taught me is that you cannot please everyone all of the time. We are only sorry they chose to post untruths. Stop by and see for yourself.

“the Perfect B & B”

Morehead Manor Bed and Breakfast

12 Apr 2006
5/5 found this review helpful

We've travelled for years staying in B&Bs and Morehead Manor is outstanding. First location is perfect, on a gracious tree-lined street yet in the heart of town with many restaurants and attractions within easy walking distance. Second, house has been magnificantly restored with large rooms, high ceilings, beautiful/elegant yet inviting furnishings, etc. Beds are very comfortable and there are many windows, which DO open. Third, this B&B has the most common area space per bedroom of any place we have ever stayed plus some lovely outdoors areas. And let's not forget the food....delicious (and ample) breakfasts and homemade desserts, tea, coffee, sodas and water always available. And last, but not least, the very gracious, interesting and just plain fun owners, Monica and Daniel. Morehead Manor is a true gem.

I am a huge fan of the Manor! Every aspect of this wonderful historic house radiates comfort and serenity. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, the best innkeepers in the land, are exceptionally kind and welcoming. The house is an architectural gem and the location is unbeatable. The breakfasts are delicious and served with graciousness and a smile. What a fine discovery!

The Morehead Manor is an OK B&B close to downtown Durham. The owners, Monica and Daniel, are good people. But there is little privacy--the floors and everything else squeaks and moans. The windows don't open. The only air is from a window unit. And the bathrooms are just like grandma's. Also, the hosts could be more generous with the breakfast--just like grandma. This is not the place to go to get away from it all.
