Morningside Cottage | Staying

A relaxing oasis, just a 10-minute walk into Tenbury Wells with its individual shops and eateries. Located on a quiet lane, a feeling of seclusion but close to the town

Morningside Cottage – A Haven in The Little Town in the Orchard

Not quite Ludlow, but beautiful  Tenbury Wells — the "Little Town in the Orchard," as Queen Victoria called it—this delightful town is just a 15-minute drive from Ludlow, and a great base from which to explore.

Owner, Lesley purchased Morningside Cottage in autumn 2021 and has loved living in the area. However, missed guest interaction, and so  decided to share her home and opened Morningside Cottage as guest accommodation in 2023, and thought you might like to know a little about her.

"I relocated to Tenbury Wells after selling my previous B&B in Cumbria. My first visitor there was an undercover hotel inspector—a true baptism of fire! We were awarded 5* Silver by Visit England, and the following year, we proudly received the 5* Gold award. The pinnacle of our success came when we were named the best B&B in Cumbria, followed by the best B&B in England by Visit England. That was an evening to remember!

My ethos in designing Morningside Cottage was to uphold the same high standard of service while sourcing locally whenever possible. I carefully select what I consider to be the finest producers to supply us.

Your room, furnished with antiques, features soft, fluffy dressing gowns, a hamper of local goodies, an indulgent decanter of sherry, and a hostess tray with homemade biscuits. Enjoy fresh coffee from Coffee Care of Skipton and Tea Pigs, with fresh milk in your mini fridge before ambling into Tenbury for breakfast or brunch.

Pamper yourself! We're excited to offer locally hand-blended and handmade toiletries made sustainably sourced organic ingredients. These are available for purchase in Tenbury Wells and can now be found in your bathroom.

Wake up to the morning sun and start your day with freshly brewed coffee or a Tea Pigs tea from your hostess tray, complemented by fresh milk in your mini fridge.

Morningside Cottage boasts a large garden, ideal for relaxing before heading out for supper. With garden seating on the sun terrace, it's the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine on a summer evening.
I do hope you’ll come and stay at Morningside Cottage—I look forward to welcoming you soon!

P.S. Taxis really need to be pre-booked, and I suggest Swan Cabs
