Allie and Steve were very accommodating and made sure we had a lovely stay. thank you!

Loved the history of the building, themes of the rooms and the extras the owners provided. Large bathrooms with intricate decor, comfortable beds. Recommend staying here as it is not only close to everything, it feels like you are part of Morpeth and experiencing the history of the town first hand. Thanks for a lovely stay.

A charming little place in a fantastic location. Lots of room inside and very comfortable beds. Highly recommend for people visiting Morpeth. The property is right in the middle of the town, with lots of great cafes and shops around it.

The entrance was a little confusing (contact less check in) and a bit dark, but once you get into the room, it's lovely!

Loved the character and charm of the building and the great location. The service was excellent and our rooms were above and beyond anything we expected!

The only negative thing I can think of was that it was a little confusing finding the entrance as there isn't clear signage where the entrance is, but that was a very minor issue

Location was convenient.

No TV. Method of entry convoluted. No reception. Noisy wooden floorboards on floor above. Open packet of biscuits, sour milk in fridge, 3 teabags for 4 days. No hotel information folder. We were there for 4 nights no change of towels.

In the heart of town, this "hotel" is difficult to spot. You are not looking for a sign that says "William Arnott Hotel" but two signs that both say "Sourdough". There are three rooms to book, but only the smallest was offered on "Booking.com" so we didn't know about the others when we booked. The owner, whom we did not meet, texted a code for the front door. We let ourselves in and found the Sao room. It is not really big enough for a couple, with nowhere to sit, other than the quite high beds, and nowhere to put any luggage. Our first night was so uncomfortable that we seriously considered going home early. Too hot without aircon, too hot with doona, too cold with nothing at all (no top sheets), too stuffy without aircon - we tried all the possibilities. The second night we got smart and took the doona out of its cover and used that in place of a sheet. No TV but the Wifi worked well the first day, and not too badly the second.

I would suggest this room is OK for a single traveler. Take your own top sheet, a box of tissues, some soap and a face washer, your own hair dryer and be prepared to have all your meals out, because there is no microwave or toaster. Alternatively, you could upgrade to the better room across the hall or for the same price, get a motel room a short distance away in Maitland.

Very clean, quirky rooms with lovely owners and easy check in

Would be great to get some fly screens so you can get some fresh air

Location was good and access was easy.

We stayed in the SAO room with 2 twin beds. We would have preferred one of the other rooms which looked beautiful but according to the website they were not available. The room was tiny. Photos on the website were quite deceptive. No space for a suitcase. No hanging space except for a hook behind the door. The pillows were hard and uncomfortable. There was no hairdryer or iron available. Important as we were attending a wedding. For the price, very poor value. Annoyingly we were the only guests in the "hotel" during our stay so could easily have stayed in one of the other rooms and would have been far more comfortable.

beautifully styled with lots of interesting history of the Arnott family on display

the beds weren’t particularly comfortable and there was only a doona with no top sheet so we were either too hot or too cold

Decor / style History Bread!

Beautiful old historic and charming building. It was warm and comfortable. Clean and inviting and the hosts were lovely and easy to deal with. Great great location. Cafes couple of doors down, great pub across the road. Parking right in front.

The VoVo room didn’t have a TV – it bothered my wife, but not me! The whole idea of a historic country get away was LESS noise. Peaceful not having todays blaring fake news or some other silly reality show in the back ground. BTW the WiFi works great so bring a laptop or smart phone if you cant life without tech for a day or two.

We enjoyed our stay in this heritage accommodation.

It was very comfortable. If you are looking for TV, you won’t find it. I enjoyed this. Great WiFi

Gorgeous boutique accommodation - lovely check in experience -- great location -- a little piece of history with great attention to detail with furniture and fittings

Location was great. Clean. Bathroom was good

But a strange little room. even though we had a lovely stay the room set up was not suitable for 2 people really even though there were 2 beds. No where to sit other than a high bed ( very hard to put even shoes and socks on) and only a sheer curtain separating toilet & shower from the 2 beds. No where to go while they were there. No chair No tv

Excellent location, great facilities, great experience.

Old-world charm, link to Australian culinary history (Mint-slices, Saos, iced-vovos... do I need to say more?)and great position. The toiletries and beautiful breakfast goodies were a pleasant addition.

Due to the age of the building noise travelled but that’s to be expected. Our room was a bit dusty and the lovely, huge verandah which we loved, was also a bit dusty. Out mattress was very comfortable but getting to a point of needing replacement.

We absolutely loved our stay at the William Arnott Hotel. The location, rich history, and friendly owners far exceeded our expectations.
