Irish Breakfast Awards 2012 GUESTHOUSE BREAKFAST

Ariel House - Ballsbridge, Dublin 4

Great hospitality and outstanding breakfasts go hand in hand, so it is not surprising that the first meal of the day should be a treat at this welcoming and well-run guesthouse.

Breakfast in Ariel House is a lavish affair, catering for diverse appetites, and it’s a most pleasant experience altogether with attentive staff, fresh flowers on white linen table cloths, clematis trailing outside the window...

As well as a fresh buffet selection and a carefully cooked full Irish fry, thoughtful options that mark this guesthouse out include a ‘Veggie Fry-up’ and ‘breakfast in a bag’ for early departures.
