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.
