Stairs, Corridor and Bedroom 

• Stairs - Original spiral stairs lead to the first floor of the cottage and are set within the thickness of the wall which accommodates the former kitchen hearth.

• Corridor - The corridor may have existed in Coleridge's time, or may have been partitioned from the adjoining bedroom at a later date to provide greater privacy. The corridor contains a mahogany open cradle of the kind that may have been used for Hartley. On one wall are engravings of Watchet, Dunster, and the Valley of the Rocks, which were all stopping points on the famous 'Ancient Mariner' walk in November 1797. On the other wall are engravings of Ottery church, where Coleridge was baptised, and of Alfoxden.

The bedroom has been furnished to look as it may have done in Coleridge's day. Its contents include an 18th century table and chair, a Jacobean child's high chair in oak. a trunk and a bed.
