Poets Corner vintage retreat walk to View St

Convenient location, spacious rooms, quality bedding, vintage charm, modern facilities, off street parking, cleanliness

Kitchen items being stored on the very top cupboard shelf could easily be moved to a lower empty shelf for ease of use for all. Third bedroom cupboard had too many items stored in a messy haphazard manner

Very cute cottage in a central location. Bedrooms are a great size and beds are extremely comfortable, one of the best we have had in a long time. Decor is charming and plenty of space for a family group. Heating works really well and the little flowers were a lovely touch.

A few kitchen items were missing, like drinking glasses (only wine and champagne were there) along with only 3 mugs and only a few plates, which is hard for 5 people. My daughter had to drink her juice out of a glass flute which is not ideal. The cutlery draws could also do with a deep clean but these are minor things and did not really affect our stay.

The house was full of character very clean and the beds luxurious we appreciated the attention to detail with the linen sheets and Fiona covers. Both bathrooms newly renovated and clean. It’s an easy walk into the centre of town. The kitchen had everything we needed and the heating worked well.

Both front bedrooms are in the main road so if you are a light sleeper expect an early wake up..hardly any traffic at night so not really a problem.

Comfortable beds Good under floor heating Well equiped kitchen except one burner not working Great location close to city centre

Broken tap in kitchen Toilet seat in main bathroom not stable to sit on Bedroom doors don’t close properly Very old lounge too low to get out of Chairs at kitchen table rickety and uncomfortable to sit on Lots of traffic noise We booked the property as pet friendly as originally advertised on Booking.com ( now changed to no pets) and were contacted to pay an additional fee despite having paid the entire stay months earlier. We were told there was lots of additional cleaning because of our dog. The house rules stated that dogs could be inside provided they were not on furniture and could not stay in the house alone which we adhered to. Our dog slept in her bed in the laundry and lay on her blankets in the main area of the house when we were home. Upon checking out we cleaned sinks emptied bins ensured the yard was clean and dishes in dishwasher and used towels in bath. We were disappointed to be contacted for an extra fee after leaving given that everything was left clean and tidy and in good order apart from some dog hair on the floor which would need to be cleaned as a matter of course between tenants.
