Everything. Have now stayed in 5 of the 6 rooms and they are all really comfy, beds great. Breakfast and tea/coffee bar are brilliant. I’ll be back without a doubt.

Narelle

Possibly one of the best B&B's I have stayed at. I arrived late and was up early, so I didn't get to meet the hosts, but they communicated with me via phone to ensure I found my way.

The Bronte was built in 1822 for the honourable Mr Caleb Soul of Soul Paterson Pharmacy fame. This fabulous residence was built on Lot 1 Swan Street Morpeth and named after Admiral Nelson the Earl of Bronte. The Bronte was purchased by the current owners in 2014 and completely refurbished to its current luxury standard with an eclectic fusion of Victorian and Asian antiques. The exterior of the building is next on the list to be developed, where guests can enjoy our divine cuisine and refreshments from the western courtyard.

The owner has a passion for service and food. He has recently added High Tea's and catered functions to The Bronte’s agenda and has plans to extend the food and beverage offerings further.

The Bronte offers stylish boutique accommodation located in the heart of the historic town of Morpeth, originally a bustling river port town founded in the 1820's. The township sits above an elbow in the Hunter River, its just 5 minutes from Maitland , 40 minutes from Port Stephens and Pokolbin Wine Country and is only an hour and half from Sydney and just 10 minutes from the end of the M1.

Bed was uncomfortable, bedroom was poorly decorated, no staff to ask questions, a bus shuttle was mentioned but it was just the local bus, the breakfast was only ok. Not enough toiletries, only a tiny tube and shampoo body wash and conditioner for two nights, and the body wash doubled as hand wash, ended up having to use soap I bought from home.
The bathroom was exceptional, the corridor and foyer were well decorated and had a homey vibe

“Nice”
- • Group
- • Stayed 1 night

Our room was located right next to the kitchen and tea and coffee making facilities, in a narrow corridor. From 7am it was very noisy, with food prep going on in the kitchen, staff and patrons chatting, patrons making tea or coffee whilst talking loudly on their mobiles outside our door! At one point, I opened the bedroom door and looked out and the patron saw me and moved away from our door. A better located room would have been nicer as the rates we paid didn’t justify the room location. Some signage requesting “patrons to respect the privacy of nearby rooms and keep their voices down/refrain from using mobiles in this area” would be recomended. Otherwise we had a short and reasonable stay.
Clean rooms and welcoming staff. Old world charm.

The weather was so hot and the air stifling from the bush fires, so much better when the cool change came through later in the evening. But this had nothing to do with The Bronte Boutique Hotel, it was perfect.

There used to be a fence on Swan Street which gave the property a sense of not being so on the street - this has been removed since my last stay & it was disappointing as the property from the street felt more like a boarding house than a boutique B&B.
