No. 15 Factory Cooperage

“eravamo 5 adulti e gli ampi spazi ci hanno permesso di muoverci molto agevolmente.”

The historic building was beautifully renovated, offering spacious rooms with a washing machine and dishwasher, and a small sea view, though it’s far from highways and the city center. The host answered quickly about kitchen issues. The bathrooms lacked power outlets and hangers; the only wardrobe was in the large bedroom, and there were no curtains for the skylights— the host provided masks to block the morning light, saying curtains were pending. Many stairs were present but not problematic.

The location was excellent, but the décor was beautiful.

“Exceptional family stay in a beautifully restored historic building”

We stayed at No. 15 Factory Cooperage with extended family and were all extremely impressed. The house offers great value, with spacious rooms and a stunning open‑plan living room and kitchen that worked perfectly for a larger group. The bedrooms are large and well‑furnished, and the design balances the historic character with modern comforts. The location is excellent, with wonderful views across Firestone Bay and Royal William Yard a real highlight, offering a good selection of bars, restaurants and cafés within a short walk. Parking was easy, with one free space included and plenty of additional reasonably priced parking nearby. Communication with the host was excellent throughout. The two top‑floor bedrooms would benefit from blackout blinds, especially in summer, although this is already being addressed. In one top‑floor bedroom the windows don’t open, making it very warm in hot weather; blinds and a fan would help. Other than that, we had a fantastic stay.

“It has the wow factor”

The decor and space were very tasteful and comfortable. The beds were clean and comfortable. It’s a unique building to stay in, with plenty of storage and an enjoyable space for family. It’s close to many restaurants and offers harbour views. The front door was keyless, which was handy. It was very quiet except for seagulls, which can’t be helped. Parking was tricky for multiple cars, and there weren’t enough plug sockets in the room to charge a phone. Ideally, hangers should be supplied in the wardrobe, and there was no toilet‑roll holder in the master bathroom. The Royal William Yard spa facilities are not included, contrary to what I was led to believe when booking.

“We had a wonderful 2 day stay which was so much nicer and far better value than the local hotel options.”

The property was refurbished, decorated, and furnished to a very high standard, and we had a wonderful stay. The amenities nearby are also excellent. Nothing.
