No wonder it is difficult to get a reservation at this modern B&B home.
In my opinion, it certainly has the best location — set on a hillside
overlooking (and easily walkable to) the hub of town as well as the river
and ocean. Hostess Darra Hughes offers 4 non-smoking guestrooms in luxurious
style. Best of all, step outside the door and it's just a few hundred feet
to the famous Gus O'Connor's Pub. Closed: 20th December to 4th January.
