Five friends and I walked the Dingle Way in mid-May and An Riasc, without a doubt, was the absolute highlight of our trip. Denise and Dearmond run a beautiful home with just insanely delicious breakfasts and snacks. They also help provide car service to a nearby pub that has fantastic food. We were all large men and slept comfortably in three bedrooms. Cannot recommend this place high enough!

Lovely stay - I walked the Dingle Way and this was the only place I was served tea upon arrival! Staying here makes for a shorter approach to Mt. Brandon, which is a plus. The breakfast and packed lunch were delicious. I recommend walkers bring their evening meal; dinner service is no longer offered and the taxi/meal nearby was the most expensive night of my trip (the food was ... lots of gravy)! This would be a nice place to stay two nights - to rest before hiking Mt. Brandon. Denise, the host, can secure bikes or a massage. I would ask if there was a sitting room/tv. I didn't see one, but I was tuckered out and stayed in my room. I hope to return someday.

Thank you for your review. We do have a living room with satellite TV for our guests for sure. Apologies if I overlooked to mention it. Unfortunately the only option for dinner is the pub which is too far to walk after a long day’s hike. Therefore a taxi is the only option or as you say to bring some food with you - the problem is there are very few options of places to purchase food between Dunquin and Feothanach! We would love to see you again some time and yes we do recommend a stay of at least 2 nights.

Very lovely home. Very comfortable beds. Delightful $ friendly hostess with knowledge of the area. Delicious breakfasts. The town of Dingle was very fun as well and not a bad drive from this B&B. We celebrated St Pattys in Dingle and it was a blast!

My partner and I spent two nights in the wonderful care and hospitality of Denise and family. Set in the shadow of Mount Brandon and with wonderful views from all sides, An Riasc is a charming guest house in a delightful and tranquil location. Denise is the perfect host who goes out of her way to make all her guests welcome. The rooms are spacious, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfasts are delicious. An Riasc is in a wonderful location in the heart of the Gaeltacht, along the Wild Atlantic Way and in close proximity to all of the attractions on the Dingle Peninsula. We look forward to a return visit.

Wonderful little B&B in a romantic spot between the mountain and the ocean. Plenty of lovely walks around. The house is spotless, very cosy and tidy. Denise is a great host, gave us great advice. Also she makes the most delicious breakfast !!

We recently returned from hiking the Dingle Way and want to let other travelers know how much we enjoyed our stay at An Riasc Bed and Breakfast. Denise and Dearmond were delightful and helpful hosts who shared about themselves and local area life. The cheese board and salads made a great dinner. Plus the bottle of wine we shared was the best red of our trip. The rural farm area is beautiful.

I first discovered this gem in August 2020 when myself and my daughter took a road trip once Covid-19 restrictions allowed...we stayed at An Riasc for one night and it was just gorgeous. Denise welcomed us in and was a fountain of knowledge on things to do in the area and dinner recommendations. The view of the Three Sisters from our bedroom window was so lovely and the breakfast we were served was the cherry on top! So when it came to planning some trips around Ireland this year I had to include a return trip to Dingle. This time I brought himself and we stayed for two nights! Again, Denise was so warm and welcoming upon our arrival. We had planned on getting a taxi into town for dinner and drinks on our first night but Denise and her husband offered to drop us as they were headed that direction. Their hospitality even extended to getting in touch to see if we wanted a lift home when they were finished!! Such a lovely touch. The location for some may seem a little too far out of town..if you consider 10 minutes drive too far out of town...but we loved being totally immersed in the landscape. The cleanliness, comfort, location and service are second to none. The decor is beautiful and the breakfast is as good if not better than any top hotel. Denise's homemade treats are another bonus. I am already looking for an excuse to book a third visit!! Do yourself a favour and stay at An Riasc!!…

This fabulous rural retreat is set between mountain and coast with fabulous views and wonderful beaches. The old world farmhouse charm with quirky painted furniture and fabulous bed and linens is a real boutique experience. Denise met us with homemade lemonade and cake which we enjoyed in the very pretty garden. It set the tone for our stay. The breakfast was a fabulous selection of the finest local produce and you can see Denise treats this business as a labour of love. While we were there Denise was interviewed by the times as her reputation is growing. My advice- grab it if you can!
