Book during September's Matchmaking Festival; B&Bs are like mushrooms after the rain.
This gleaming white B&B has good views down towards the water. The three rooms are simply decorated, while the breakfasts are pleasingly lavish; American urbanites will recognise and appreciate the bagel BLT.
In a picturesque spot by the river in the upper village, this converted 17th-century farmhouse is a great choice. There are turf fires, hot showers and a free laundry. This award-winning IHH hostel has 30 beds, campsites from €16 and bike rentals.
Take a leek from the kitchen garden – that's just one of the playful bits of fun you can have at this posh yet relaxed 11-room guesthouse just outside of town. A long porch has comfy chairs for pondering the many gardens or just taking a snooze.
In a beautiful old roadside mansion on the edge of town, Wild Honey has 14 stylish rooms which are the perfect weekend getaway (or hideout for that impromptu honeymoon during matchmaking season?).
Housed in a formerly posh hotel, this 124-bed hostel has an unusual grace. The grounds reflect its past and there are all the usual facilities and free continental breakfasts.
