David was absolutely fantastic humouring my interest in his EV - added bonus to my trip. Everything was perfect except for the pillows - we found them to heavy and dense (others my like theirs this way); would have given 10/10 if the pillows were fluffy and softer.

My wife and I had not been to Stanley for 20 years and chose the cottage based on the description and comments on accomodation.com. The cottage itself couldn't have been in a better location. Walking distance to restaurants and the Stanley Hotel and views from the front window. Everything was presented beautifully, and our hosts Dave and Geraldine were so easy to talk to and very knowledgeable with regard to the Northwest of Tasmania. Dave cooks a great breakfast while Geraldine attends to your coffees and toast. We could not have been more spoiled. Go to Stanley, enjoy the Poets Cottage and wind down for a while. fantastic place to stay. ##### warrick Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KAREN 2 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close to all amenities cafes, The Nut best of all the penguins ##### KAREN Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette 27 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Would stay here again. ##### Annette Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evan 26 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and hospitality.
