Mornington Rose Bed and Breakfast

This is the second time we stayed at the Mornington Rose B & B and once again it was a pleasure. Victoria and Murray are gracious, informed hosts who provide great breakfasts, and make the extra effort to help make your stay perfect.

My wife and I stayed here for the second time recently and, as before, we greatly enjoyed our time here. The hosts are caring and very attentive to detail. The rooms are comfortable and immaculately clean. Each of the rooms is different, and we have stayed in two of them. Our breakfast each day was quite a treat. The food selection is distinctive and wonderfully tasty, and the service can't be beat. The common areas are nicely decorated and a selection of good reading material is always at your fingertips. They helped us choose restaurants and assisted us in getting our reservations. We will surely return to Mornington Rose!

Victoria and Murray add little touches to the rooms and service that make their B&B a first-rate operation. I've stayed at four different B&Bs in Stratford, and this one is by far the best.

I am so pleased that our group found Victoria's and Murray's B&B. We are a group of 8 who 'took over' the entire house and enjoyed every minute of it. The food and service are impecable. The presentation at breakfast is truly a feast for the eyes. All the little extras that they do (water, pop, coffee, tea, and the 'to die for' chocolate chip cookies every day - Thanks, Murray!) are not missed by us. This is the best place we've stayed for the Festival. Victoria and Murray are such gracious hosts. You will NOT be disappointed!

While the rooms, cleanliness and value are what you would expect for the bed and breakfast community of Stratford, where the Mornington Rose truly excels is in service and dining. Victoria and Murray are simply sensational cooks, and their gourmet breakfasts every morning were among the finest morsels of food I have ever placed into my mouth. Coupled with this, you have daily, fresh-baked cookies for quick snacking, an elaborate collection of teas, coffees, and hot drinks and free wi-fi. What more could you ask for? How about a large porch, balcony and backyard area to laze away the sunny days reading the paper? Well, they've got that too. Of course, it was too cold in early May, but I can't wait to go back during the summer months. A wonderful experience!

Saying that Mornington Rose meets our expectations is only appropriate for us since we have experienced Victoria's and Murray's on several occasions and have come to expect the outstanding experience that staying with them represents. Theirs is a wonderful B & B and they are great innkeepers. Give them a try, you will be back.

Four of us had a wonderful although rainy weekend at the Rose. We were met with gracious and kind hosts who went beyond the call of duty ! Our wedding was planned for on the island however Mother Nature was not co-operating. Victoria and Murray kindly allowed us to conduct the service on their beautiful porch. We all spent much of our day and evening visiting and eating on that very porch ! Our vegetarian breakfast was lovely and our rooms were clean and well stocked. Loved the service station in the upstairs hall ! Thanks so very much for a lovely weekend ! Tracey and Mark, Moni and Tim

My husband and I celebrated our first Valentines together as a married couple at the Mornington Rose. It was a lovely stay with great food, great service and beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed our relaxing bedroom and the jacuzzi tub. We were given Roses, Chocolates, Chocolate covered strawberries, wine and afternoon tea along with a wonderful breakfast in the morning. It was a GREAT package / getaway and a great value for the quality of service/food we received! Thanks Victoria and Murray! Kendel and Ben

We wanted a special treat and got it. There are many great B&B's in Stratford but none we have visited over too many years to count satisfied us more than Mornington Rose Bed and Breakfast. We have already booked for ct. 2011. Sheila & Ben

We found this B&B to be excellent for various reasons. The hosts are very friendly and very willing to help with our visit to Stratford. The rooms are very comfortable and the breakfast is delicious (with gluten-free items on the menu). It is within walking distance to all the theatres. We will definitely return.

I loved my stay in the Rose suite...excellent, caring service, great food, fabulous garden, and very convenient to all the theatres. It couldn't have been better!

I stayed in the Ebony Room and it was just perfect. I was comfortable and all the things I did not need to bring were there for me such as shower cap, hairdryer, lotions etc. I had special needs for breakfast and they were met with the most cheer and perfection. Look forward to coming back next year for our annual 4 day stay. Maureen Cook

My two nights at the Mornington Rose B&B was a delightful experience. The hosts were warm and welcoming, helpful and always available, the rooms were comfortable and cozy, the breakfasts a delicious way to start the day. I look forward to returning.

Our room was quiet and comfortable.we really enjoyed having tea and home made cookies on our large private balcony overlooking the neighborhood.The small fridge upstairs was also handy.Your hospitality was great and breakfast fabulous,(home made bread,scones and marmalade) wonderful!Thanks for everything,Victoria and Murray we had a great time.Pat and Cathy Gordon.

Four of us stayed at the Mornington Rose Bed and Breakfast last August and were delighted with the place. The rooms are comfortable, attractive and quiet, the breakfasts were delicious and our hosts were attentive and helpful, especially when one person had a problem. We look forward to staying with Victoria and Murray again.

We stayed At Mornington Rose B&B for one night for my husband's birthday. Victoria and Murray made it a memorable occasion. Our room was large, comfortable and quiet and the rest of the house warm and inviting. We especially enjoyed the exquisite gardens and the lovely wide veranda where we enjoyed our picnic dinner. Next time we'll come for a longer visit! Thanks so much. Joan and Gus, St. Catharines

We have stayed at the Mornington Rose three times and it just gets better and better. The rooms are lovely and restful. The food is gourmet quality and the service is warm and thoughtful. We feel like we've been on a long holiday even when we stay only two nights. Thank you Murray and Victoria.

Staying at Mornington Rose after our visit to Stratford was an excellent decision. Our hosts Victoria and Murray were so helpful and concerned even before we arrived in Stratford. The location of this B&B was very good. Finally, the decor and the breakfast was especially nice. A very nice get away spot! Carole from Midland

The theatre in Stratford is second-to-none, and so was my experience at this elegant B&B! Each bedroom has a unique decore, and the Ebony Room was like a visit to Paris. The garden, pond and gazebo were a soothing oasis from the afternoon heat, and Victoria's jewelery studio is a hidden treasure! The gourmet breakfast was the crowning touch to a perfect weekend getaway. There are absolutely no thorns on this rose! Thank you Vicky and Murray for such a wonderful experience. I'll certainly visit again! ~ Rowena from Guelph

Thank you for your hospitality and for the charming details and touches you provided - including the upstairs tea and cookies , the delicious (and artfully presented) breakfasts; not to mention the quiet, peaceful stay. I also appreciated the recipe sharing - this was icing on the cake for me! Tim and Janice

My daughter and I have an annual Mother/Daughter trip with my sister-in-law and niece. We decided to go to Stratford this year and see Peter Pan. We stayed at Mornington Rose B&B and had a wonderful experience. The rooms are bright and comfortable, the food is amazing (you won't be hungry until well past lunch), and Victoria and Murray are very helpful hosts. We will be back!

The Mornington Rose was our first experience at a B&B. Victoria was especially helpful when we had to change one of our days, made dinner recommendations and made the reservations for us, too. All that service and we hadn't even gotten there yet! Victoria and Murray were very gracious hosts. Murray's cookies and bread were delicious as was all of the fare. Our daughter is a vegetarian and accommodations were made for her preferences. We brought her and her best friend (they celebrated their 16th birthday in Stratford) and they absolutely loved their room ... and Murray's cookies, of course! The house and decor are lovely and you can tell their heart is in every corner of it. I can't go anywhere and look at a rose the same way again! Thanks for a lovely experience. The Mariani Family

We have stayed at Mornington Rose for the past 4 years for our annual trip to Stratford. We enjoyed the previous owners and were hopeful the new owners would provide the same service and friendliness we were used to. I'm happy to report that Victoria and Murray more than exceeded our expectations. The house is more beautiful than ever and they are a warm, welcoming couple. We look forward to returning again next May. Bob and Judith

The B&B is quite lovely on its own. However, unfortunately I became ill during our visit. I was kindly allowed to relax in a bedroom after checkout time while my companions went to a play. Victoria also delivered toast to the room for me. They are a very caring couple.
