Newbury Guest House

Perfect for shopaholics or anyone who wants to stay on Boston's chic-est strip, this pleasant townhouse B&B is set amid retail heaven. Rooms are fitted out with reproduction Victorian furnishings, in keeping with the building's hardwood floors and high ceilings. There's a homely atmosphere, though the bustle from the street does filter in. A breakfast buffet is served in a bright parlor that opens on to a small terrace. It's good value for the location - and what you save on hotel rates you can spend in the shops.
