I had a mixed experience at Lagganbeg Guest House. While my room was clean and well-decorated, the traffic noise was pretty distracting for a good night's sleep. The location was super convenient, just a short walk from the town centre and ferry terminal, but I was disappointed that breakfast wasn't provided as I expected. Overall, it was okay for a one-night stay, but I wouldn't rush to return.

I was bummed to find out that breakfast wasn't available during my stay, even though I thought it was included. Instead, I had to settle for takeaway cereal packs, which were far from satisfying.

There wasn't any on-site parking which was a hassle, and the WiFi wasn't great. Still, I appreciated the kettle and extra tea/coffee in my room, and it was nice to have a fridge available in the lounge.
