Darby's Inn

Top choice in Stavanger


The beautifully tended exterior of this B&B is nothing compared to the opulence inside, and it may just be Stavanger's best. Traditional interiors in this historic house combine dark wood with antique furniture, paintings, Persian rugs and a baby grand in the lounge and dining room. The large guest rooms have luxury linen, plump cushions and suitably heavy curtains.

A terrace, underground parking and an attentive host, Wenche Darby, complete the picture, and it's also super-convenient for the airport bus. Cash only.
