By DiscoverStratford.com - Published September 8, 2024

In this “Members Spotlight” post we're introducing your hosts at Mornington Rose Guest House, Murrray and Victoria.  Here's what they shared:

 

"We embarked on this adventure sixteen years ago, opening Mornington Rose as our retirement project," shares Murray. "And guess what? We're still having a blast! Meeting new people and welcoming back familiar faces is the absolute highlight. It never ceases to amaze us how many wonderful guests we've encountered."


Murray, the resident culinary whiz, delights guests with his freshly baked treats. From mouthwatering scones and crusty breads to delectable cookies, his creations are a true testament to his passion for baking. When he's not in the kitchen, you'll find him in his workshop, where his woodworking skills truly shine. Murray expertly crafts exquisite pens from wood, acrylic, and gemstones on his lathe, and his talents extend to creating charming birdhouses and captivating garden ornaments.


Victoria meticulously prepares delightful continental breakfast baskets for each guest. But that's not all! She's a culinary artist along with her husband, specializing in innovative Charcuterie Dinners, elegant Afternoon Teas, and the quintessential Cream Teas. And did we mention her secret passion? Victoria is a "Closet Glass Artist"! In her studio across from the Guest House, she transforms glass into stunning works of art. Using a kiln, blowtorches, and a whole lot of skill, she creates unique home decor pieces, captivating art, and breathtaking glass jewelry.


Murray and Victoria's warmth, hospitality, and shared passion for creating memorable experiences make Mornington Rose Guest House a truly special place to stay.  You can learn more about their property and amenities here.
