Our Accommodation
A heritage home shaped by history and hospitality
Poets Cottage is a restored historic home in the heart of Stanley, shared with guests in a way that feels personal and true to its character. Original features and period details remain, while thoughtful updates ensure the comfort and ease expected of a relaxed stay.
The warmth of a hosted stay
At Poets Cottage, we’ve found that a stay is shaped as much by shared spaces and morning rituals as it is by the room you sleep in. We’re Geraldine and Dave, and while we don’t live in the cottage itself, we’re on site and happy to help with anything you need during your stay.
Welcoming spaces to unwind
Comfortable sitting areas, working fireplaces, and quiet corners invite you to read, reflect, or simply settle in.
Cooked breakfast each morning
Begin the day with a freshly prepared breakfast, served with care and designed to make your morning feel relaxed.
Garden and courtyard retreat
Step outside to enjoy fresh coastal air, peaceful surroundings, and a quiet moment before or after exploring Stanley.
Four rooms, each with its own character
Each guest room reflects the character of the cottage while offering its own outlook, light, and sense of comfort.
Whether you prefer garden views, coastal outlooks, or extra space to unwind, there is a room to suit your stay.

Two bedrooms, a private lounge with fireplace, ocean views, and a claw foot bath overlooking The Nut make this top floor suite truly special.

Discover the cellar
Beneath the cottage lies a stone cellar that reflects the age and history of the home.
Guests are welcome to explore this atmospheric space, which also provides a distinctive setting for intimate gatherings when the entire cottage is reserved.

Located just a short stroll from Stanley’s historic streets and waterfront, Poets Cottage offers a peaceful place to return to after a day of exploring.
A warm, comfortable place to come back to at the end of the day and one with a story worth knowing.
