I had an important meeting to attend in Durham, NC and decided to stay at a B&B and see how different another B&B was in this city. Since my husband and I are innkeepers, you could say I am rather fussy and critical. To my delight I found Morehead Manor B&B to contain wonderful sculptures and fine art. I loved the mural in the dinning room. I liked the way the innkeeper, Monica, sat down to breakfast with us, and socialized, as well as ate her own cooking. With such an old home I was amazed at the lack of any dust on the beautiful hard wood floors. I especially appreciated her talent to maintain the beauty of this grand home yet furnish it with such comfortable overstuffed sofas and chairs. The home was so spacious, as was my room with such tall ceilings; there was always an alcove to escape to, away from others, to read without having to hide in my room. The close walking distance to the refurbrished old tobacco warehouses which now contain wonderful restaurants and shopping was an added plus. It was also nice to have off street parking in such a busy city. I appreciated the great directions from Daniel in how to find the Beltway to head home, as well as recommendations for Dinning. It was indeed relaxing to have such a gracious host and hostess take care of me without constantly hovering; I never had to ask for a thing, they seemed to know what I wanted . If I have to come back to Durham, I know where I will stay!

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.

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.

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.
