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

If you're going to Dingle, you better stay with Jimmy. This place is exactly what you'd want from a bed and breakfast - off the beaten path, clean, great surroundings, very affordable, top notch hospitality and great food. The house is set back a few miles outside of town and findable only via the map on their website (GPS doesn't... More

We took an eight day trip just driving from Dublin and stopping when we could. Had seen Jimmy's place on Trip Advisor so stayed there. I arrived feeling very sick after drinking unsuitable water (from a stay at a B & B in the countryside) and Jimmy was SO nice. Sent me off the next day with some herbal tea... More

After a full day of hiking the Dingle Way my daughter and I loved our stay at the Coill An Rois. Jimmy made us feel so welcome. It was the first of the B&Bs on the Dingle Way that provided fresh baking made by Jimmy himself. When we arrived we had late afternoon tea with healthy, delicious muffins, cookies and... More

Jimmy went beyond the call to make us feel welcome in Coill and Rois. We were greeted with tea and home made biscuits and he gave us a review of things to do and see on the peninsula. His breakfast was the best that we had in our three weeks of travels. As we continued on our walk of the... More
