Further afield, Ludlow, Leominster, are within 15 minutes by car whilst the Black & White Village Trail is a route through some of the prettiest villages and most beautiful landscape in England. The 40-mile circular trail leads west from the ancient town of Leominster, through a rich landscape of orchards, hopyards and distant hills, taking in the most picturesque black and white villages along the way as well as the little market town of Kington. The cathedral cities of Worcester, Hereford and Gloucester are only a short drive away as are the National Trust properties of Berrington Hall and Croft Castle.

Other things to note A small back story Morningside Cottage, a little oasis with just one guest bedroom, a hamper of local goodies in your room on arrival, wonder into Tenbury less than 10 minutes’ walk away, browsing the shops and visiting one of our lovely coffee shops for a later breakfast. I thought you may like to know a little about me. I relocated to Tenbury Wells after selling my previous Bed & Breakfast, in Cumbria. I opened Number 43 in a stunning location and I am really proud of Team 43, the awards and accolades and positive coverage in all the newspapers and various glossy magazines during my 16 years there. We were awarded 5*Gold from ‘Visit England’ as well as their coveted Breakfast Award. As we all know, achieving is one issue, maintaining is quite another. We were so thrilled when we were then awarded the Best Bed and Breakfast in Cumbria and the following year the Best Bed and Breakfast in England by Visit England, that was an evening to remember! Moving on, to be awarded an entry in the Michelin Guide as Extra Special Accommodation is again phenomenal, the Michelin Guide is unbiased: we were visited by an anonymous inspector and there is no charge to accommodation provider. My ethos when planning Number 43 was to offer a high standard of services buying locally where possible, hence I source those whom I consider to be the best producers to supply us, the same ethos I am using for Morningside Cottage. Some of those producers are now supplying Morningside Cottage, whilst I source the best of other local produce. We have been debating about changing the bedroom hospitality tray we used at Number 43 and currently we are not planning to change anything. I make the flapjack for the bedroom, the sugar cubes are wrapped, and our ground coffee is in pre measured sealed packets ready for your French Press. I really hope you come and stay at Morningside Cottage & am looking forward to seeing you soon. Lesley
