Google Review

Staying at Poet’s Cottage was by far the best B&B experience we’ve had. From the bright spacious kitchen to the cosy relaxing lounge, each room is a delightful blend of traditional charm and modern features. The cottage’s proximity to the town of Stanley’s shops, cafes, bars, beach, and of course, The Nut, made for a fun weekend exploring the area and its history. Our amazing hosts Dave and Gerry made us feel so welcome - we’ll definitely stay there again!
