I traveled with a friend for a week around Ireland, staying at B&B's, and this was by far the best one we stayed at. Jimmy had fresh scones and muffins waiting for us, and he made fresh tea and coffee when we got there. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and wonderful shower. There was a welcoming living room where... More

Oh man! I can't say enough about this place. We stayed here for two nights while hiking the Dingle Way. Stayed an extra night so we could go up Mt. Brandon. You have to stay here if you're in the area. First of all the accommodations were first class all the way. The rooms were spacious and the shower was... More

What a fantastic experience. Jimmy greeted us with such a warm welcome with yes and homemade cookies. What a gentleman he is. He is from the area so told us all the great places to visit, restaurants & pubs, we even went to the local pub with him to listen to music. As for breakfast to die, what a selection... More

I recently booked this B&B after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. I was so delighted with my choice. I was travelling with my Father and I knew he would love this place - and especially the owner Jimmy. My father loves to talk and he had the time of his life chatting to Jimmy and exploring Dingle, based on... More

I stayed for 2 nights in August with my mother and a friend traveling from Alabama. We can not say enough about this B & B. It all starts with the Host and his hospitality. Everything he serves is homemade. We had wonderful baking lesson one morning on how to make scones, the best. The trip from town to find... More

This B&B is unique and special because of its charming host, Jimmy. The food is outstanding,imagine Baileys Irish Cream on your oatmeal. The big pink house is a bit of a ride from town, but worth it. More

My wife and I, along with my daughter and son-in-law, spent two nights here in September 2011. It was our favorite B&B in Ireland. Jimmy welcomed us as if we were long lost friends. His answer to "when is breakfast?": "when do you want it?" He even drove me to a local pub just up the road for a pint... More

Coill an Róis, or "Forest of the Roses" for the rest of us, is a wonderful B&B located in what many consider to be the most scenic area of Ireland. Several kilometers outside of Dingle, the great strength of the place is its owner Jimmy Bruic, who welcomes new and returning guests as if they're members of his family. He... More

My husband and I LOVED Coill An Rois - the perfect hideaway just outside Dingle. We felt so welcomed when Jimmy greeted us. We immediately went on a run - absolutely breathtaking and refreshing. It's a short drive into Dingle and great pubs and restaurants. Jimmy's breakfast is not to be missed. I highly recommend it. More
