Maplehurst Manor Bed & Breakfast

Looking for luxurious and relaxing accommodation in the Atlantic Canada area? Consider staying at Maplehurst Manor in Dorchester, New Brunswick. A completely restored home built by one of the Fathers of Confederation in 1858.

Maplehurst Manor is a luxurious bed and breakfast in Dorchester, New Brunswick, that provides guests with comfortable accommodations unlike any other. Comfort and luxury are the first words that come to mind when people think of Maplehurst Manor.  This one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast has been described by guests as having “the warmth and comfort of my grandmother’s house, combined with a subtle elegance.”

The manor has a front porch and a grand entrance door that welcomes you to an original and elegant three-story walnut staircase, 10-foot ceilings, ornate plaster medallions, and mouldings. These lead to the grand living room, which measures 30’ x 15’. It is furnished with period furniture and décor that invite you to enjoy the restored slate and natural gas fireplace.

The formal dining room, which is intimate enough for two and large enough for twelve, is where our candle lite breakfasts are served. Our multi course hot gourmet breakfasts are prepared with locally grown ingredients, including farm fresh eggs. The manor is also home to freshly baked cookies and desserts that guests can enjoy.  They go great with an espresso, cappuccino, or latte produced by our European coffee shop styled machine.

The quartz countertops, farmhouse sink, and the warmth of custom cabinetry create a wonderful combination of vintage elegance and modern functionality. Further connections to the history of the house can also be found in the kitchen.  There are two sets of stairs to the servant’s quarters, a couple of quaint pantries, and an exposed brick section of chimney that comes off of the original bread oven used to warm the kitchen in the winter. 

One of our most exceptional features is our generous third-floor terrace. This year-round space has one of the best views in the village. The hills of Westmorland County to the East, or Shepody Mountain and the Bay of Fundy to the West. A morning coffee at sunrise is stunning. Stargazing at night is spectacular as well.This space can be enjoyed in the winter with a heater, hot chocolate, and blankets for two, or in the summer with a refreshing drink. There is never a bad view or time of year to enjoy the peace and solitude this space can provide.

If you would prefer a shadier spot, the front porch is a great place where you can unwind, shaded by one of the largest oak trees in the province. For even more privacy, the patio area off of the kitchen may hit the spot. It is nestled by a large gully shaded by many 100-year-old trees.The comfortable, large private deck is also a nice spot to enjoy a meal or drink. The tranquillity and peacefulness the area provides can be enjoyed on the deck or you can take the exit to explore the acres of beautiful countryside.
