Much recommended by travellers, this lovingly run B&B has lots going for it: crisp white rooms, a great location near Fitz Park and keen prices that stay the same year-round. Breakfast is good, too: there's a blackboard of specials to choose from and the dining room has gingham-check tablecloths and a crackling wood burner.
