We stayed at Morehead Manor Bed and Breakfast from Friday through Sunday to celebrate my cousin's birthday, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience!
Monica and Daniel were gracious hosts who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable, including thoughtfully catering to my dietary needs, which I truly appreciated.
One of our favorite parts of the stay was lingering around the breakfast table, enjoying wonderful conversations with Monica and Daniel. Their warmth, genuine hospitality, and engaging stories made us feel like family and added a truly special touch to our experience
One of the highlights of our weekend was celebrating my cousin's birthday with a delicious catered dinner at the manor, prepared by an amazing chef recommended by Monica and Daniel. Their recommendation was outstanding and made the celebration even more special.
The manor itself is beautiful, full of charm and character, and our rooms were comfortable, spacious, and beautifully appointed. Every detail reflected the care and hospitality that Monica and Daniel put into creating a memorable guest experience. They even went to play Top Golf with us!
If you're ever in the Durham area and are looking for a charming, elegant, and welcoming place to stay, I highly recommend Morehead Manor Bed and Breakfast. You won't regret it!

We really enjoyed our two nights at Morehead Manor. We slept so well and enjoyed an amazing breakfast each morning. The rooms are quiet and clean. We I really enjoyed being in an older home with such excellent host. We look forward to enjoying times at Morehead Manor in the future and highly recommend it for our friends visit visiting Durham.

I was in Durham for a wedding and in need of a place to stay for 3 nights. I scoured hotels and bed & breakfasts and decided on the B&B route, as I didn't want a gym and a pool, but rather something more private, homey and cozy. I read reviews thoroughly and was quite impressed with all of the fabulous reviews about the Morehead Manor so decided to make my reservation there. I was not disappointed one iota!! The place is such a beautiful, charming and spacious establishment, and the hosts Monica and Daniel are fantastic! So kind, so accommodating, and they make you feel so very comfortable. The artwork throughout their home is beyond spectacular. I felt like a princess at breakfast--each one was so very delicious and even more enjoyable with comfortable conversations with Monica. I cannot highly recommend this place enough! Just go! You'll love it!

Monica and Daniel are truly exceptional hosts: warm, welcoming, kind people who have created an amazingly wonderful place to stay. Historic building, fabulous art, great location, amenities I didn’t even think I needed - and wow the carrot cake Daniel made one afternoon was heavenly. Delicious breakfast. Truly a uniquely marvelous and gracious place to call home for a while. Cannot recommend highly enough.

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.
