Dingle Peninsula B&Bs
55 John Street,
55 John St., Dingle, Co. Kerry (tel. 066-915-2378; e-mail: stelladoyle@eircom.net).
Newly opened in 2002 and with an easy-to-remember address as its name,
this B&B townhouse is the home of Stella Doyle, formerly the co-owner
of Doyle's Seafood Bar & Townhouse. As an award-winning chef, Stella
prepares scrumptious breakfasts including freshly squeezed juices, scrambled
eggs with smoked salmon, potato cakes and home-baked breads. There are
2 luxurious non-smoking guestrooms, both on the ground floor, and each
with TV and bathroom with tub and power shower. The front bedroom looks
out on the town streetscape, while the rear bedroom — like 1st floor
breakfast room — offers views of the Conor Pass mountain scenery.
The house is well located in Dingle town within an easy walk of restaurants
and pubs. Be sure to book ahead — this is a real gem but the two
rooms go fast. Closed: October to mid-April. € Web site:
