CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Miss Linda Kay Harris runs Onny Cottage, a residential care home in Ludlow, Shropshire with room for 8 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Shropshire, where the typical home has 29 beds.
Its CQC rating, from June 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in November 2021, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. That is more recent than most ratings in Shropshire, where the typical rating is about 7 years old.
60 other homes in Shropshire share its tier, “Good”. CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2025. That is true of 91% of homes in Shropshire. Hendra House Residential Home, 4.2 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding.
