Morehead Manor Bed & Breakfast

A Great First B&B Experience for Us This was our first time staying at a Bed & Breakfast, and it turned out to be a very worthwhile experience for both of us. Morehead Manor is a well-run, black-owned historic property that offers a comfortable and welcoming stay in Durham.A few highlights from our visit: Welcoming Hosts: Monica and Daniel are outstanding hosts. They are highly attentive and genuinely care about making sure all your needs are met throughout your stay. A Great Perk: Daniel keeps a constant supply of his award-winning carrot cake in the fridge for guests, which was a fantastic bonus we both enjoyed. Well-Maintained History: The house is over 100 years old but excellently maintained. Everything works perfectly, and our room was comfortable and well-appointed. Engaging Breakfasts: Morning meals are a great social experience. When guests gather in the dining room, the hosts join the conversation, offering helpful local context and color about the Durham area. Nice Amenities: The grounds offer plenty to do, whether you want to unwind by one of the several fire pits or play a game of bocce ball. Convenient Location: The manor is just minutes from downtown Durham, and we loved that several good restaurants were within easy walking distance . Monica and Daniel do a wonderful job blending historic charm with great service. We highly recommend Morehead Manor for anyone visiting the area.

My stay at Morehead Manor was absolutely wonderful. The property was beautiful and located in the perfect area for exploring and relaxing being just minutes from downtown. . Daniel and Monica were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed throughout my stay. Their hospitality made me feel right at home. I truly enjoyed every moment of my visit and appreciated all the thoughtful touches. I highly recommend Morehead Manor to anyone looking for a pleasant and memorable experience while visiting Durham. I will definitely be returning!

A gem in the middle of Durham. The space is immaculate. Quiet and calm. A place to rest and relax before your adventures in the area. Centrally located with easy access to many places. (The parking is included in your stay---huge bonus #1) The proprietors are amazing. They are so friendly and helpful. The fix an amazing spread for breakfast. (Included in your stay--huge bonus #2) and also offer a wide variety of things for a snack and drink during your stay. They are a wealth of information. This space was the perfect place for a "home base" during our trip. I think everyone should stay here at least once. I promise you will want to come back.

Morehead Manor was an absolute delight. The accommodations were very comfortable with a wonderful history. Monica served the best breakfast I have ever had. She and Daniel are the best. We could not recommend them more highly.

We just spent 3 nights at Morehead Manor and did not want to leave! The house is gorgeous, and the decor is so original and artistic. We stayed in the Magnolia Suite and it was huge! The bed was super comfy and the sheets were amazing. The breakfast was so delicious, we had apple pie this morning! We loved talking with Monica and Daniel. They are so warm and welcoming, and had a lot of fun stories. We highly highly recommend Morehead Manor and plan on visiting again! Thank you Monica and Daniel!

We had a lovely experience at this B&B. Daniel and Monica are true gems who made us feel welcome and cared for. The level of pride they take in making your experience memorable is obvious. The home itself is immaculate both inside and out. The grounds are well thought out, beautiful and very relaxing. Breakfast was a heavenly culinary experience in itself with a stuffed croissant with a raspberry compote, cream and fresh raspberries. (And a side of sausage) The seasons have a big influence on what the menu may bring. I just can't say enough. Go and see for yourself!

A wonderful B&B! The hosts are very attentive yet respect your privacy. So warm and welcoming. Very quiet resting spot! And wonderful breakfast. Highly recommend.

Daniel and Monica are amazing hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is extremely clean and comfortable, the inn keepers did a fabulous job retaining the historical charm of the home. They went out of their way to make sure that breakfast met our dietary restrictions while still providing a very tasty breakfast. We plan to go back in the near future.

2-night stay in Magnoliia Room (f.k.a. Honeymoon Suite) was very pleasant and restful. Daniel and Monica are wonderful hosts; breakfast and service are terrific. We pre-ordered a picnic basket lunch which was amazing. Location is convenient to downtown areas and Duke U. Easy walk to Durham Bulls game which was a super experience. People we encountered on our first visit to Durham were friendly. We left plenty of things to do for a return trip. Monica also quickly took care of a couple of minor maintenance concerns while we were sightseeing. Booking process and communications via e-mail, text and an informative "MMBB" app were excellent. We would advise guests to make some adjustments to "hotel expectations" when staying in a house dating to 1910. Relish taking a step back in time to when hospitality had a more real and personal aspect to it.

We travel a lot and Morehad Manor ranked right up there. Why? The ambience, (everything is of period and strives to transport you in time), location,(short walk to DPAC and surrounding restaurants . cleanliness, amenities,(WiFi free but no TV) and OMG the food, (Zucchini waffles with fresh fruit and sausage.I don't even really like Zucchini so imagine my surprise when Chef Monica told me.) These folks truly care and treat you like a good friend. I can't wait to see them all again.

Highly recommend staying at the Morehead Manor Bed and Breakfast. We love Durham and typically stay in a hotel. I was looking for somewhere to stay, and stumbled across Morehead. I could not be happier that we found Morehead. Communication with Monica and Daniel (the innkeepers) started before we even arrived, helping us plan our trip. We arrived and Monica warmly greeted us and showed us around the inn. The innkeepers Monica and Daniel are the most welcoming friendly people. They happily shared their history as well as the history of Durham. They were happy to share suggestions and kept checking in on us to make sure we were comfortable and that we were enjoying ourselves. They truly made us feel at home. Breakfast is probably the biggest highlight. Monica makes the breakfast every morning. It's ridiculously delicious. The food and conversation with Daniel and Monica every morning was a major highlight. Plus they offer a beautiful selection of tea and have fresh coffee with all the things you could need for tea and coffee. The inn is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. We stayed in the Tiger room. It's incredibly spacious and comfortable. We were comfortable and enjoyed the room. We enjoyed sitting in the front room on the comfortable couch, where we were able to read and relax in the mornings. We were at ease watching movies in the room with the TV and were able to relax while streaming movies. The innkeepers have an awesome selection of movies but also have the ability to stream. There are several places inside and out to sit and relax and enjoy the environment. The inn is in a great location and we were able to walk to anywhere we wanted in Durham (only a 7 minute walk for us to Bulls Stadium). We will happily stay here anytime we visit Durham. No one enjoys when vacation is over, but it was incredibly hard to leave the inn and the wonderful innkeepers. The other guests we met seemed to be repeat visitors that absolutely loved Monica and Daniel. It is easy to understand why. The two are truly special people running a very special inn.

This is a beautiful B&B with the kindest hosts who will make you feel right at home. Huge rooms and beds, and all the little details to make you feel at home. I unfortunately missed the breakfast due to a conference, but I'll be back soon to really enjoy the location. Highly recommend and it will be our go-to Durham spot to stay.
