Claim this listingStaying in Carrigans
A small riverside village in the Laggan district of east Donegal, close to the banks of the River Foyle and a short hop from Derry and the Donegal-Tyrone border.
Carrigans is a quiet village on the R236 in the Laggan, the fertile lowland district of east Donegal that runs along the western bank of the River Foyle. It grew up around the flax and linen trade and once had its own railway station on the line to Derry, though the mills and the railway are long closed. Today it is a peaceful, unhurried base rather than a tourist town in its own right.
A B&B in Carrigans works well for exploring this often-overlooked corner of the northwest: Derry city and the Walled City sights are close by, Lifford and Strabane sit just across the border on the Foyle, and the surrounding Laggan countryside offers easy, quiet driving and walking.

The historic walled city of Derry, with its intact 17th-century walls, Guildhall and Peace Bridge, is a short drive north across the border.
Lifford
The Donegal county town of Lifford, with its old courthouse and gaol, sits just along the Foyle from Carrigans.
Getting to Carrigans

Booking Mount Royd Country Home direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Mount Royd Country Home holds a 4-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
