Claim this listingStaying in Belmullet
The remote capital of the Mullet Peninsula on Mayo's Erris coast, built on a narrow isthmus between two great Atlantic bays.
Belmullet stands on a narrow neck of land between Blacksod Bay and Broadhaven Bay, the gateway to the Mullet Peninsula in the far west of Co. Mayo and the capital of the Erris Gaeltacht. It is one of the most remote towns on the Wild Atlantic Way, with the peninsula's beaches, dunes and cliffs stretching out to the south and Erris Head's wild coastline to the north.
A B&B in Belmullet suits visitors who want genuine remoteness: Blue Flag beaches at Elly Bay and Mullaghroe, the Carne Golf Links, and boat trips out to the deserted Inishkea Islands are all within a short drive, and the town itself is the only real service centre for the whole peninsula.
Things to do near Drom Caoin
Blacksod Bay and its lighthouse
The granite lighthouse at Blacksod Point marks the southern end of the peninsula, and the Blacksod weather station here famously supplied the observation that helped delay the D-Day landings in June 1944, giving the invasion its window of calmer weather.
The Mullet Peninsula beaches
A run of quiet Blue Flag beaches, including Elly Bay and Mullaghroe, line the peninsula, with Carne Golf Links laid out among the dunes.
Inishkea Islands
Boat trips run from the peninsula out to these deserted islands, once home to a fishing community, now left to birdlife and the ruins of the old village.
Erris Head
A looped coastal walk at the northern tip of the peninsula, regularly described as one of the most isolated stretches of coastline in Ireland, with sea cliffs and Atlantic views the whole way round.
Getting to Belmullet
Belmullet is roughly an hour from Castlebar and about an hour and a half from Ireland West Airport Knock, reached mainly by the R313 across the Erris bogland. There is no rail link; the town depends on the regional road network and a limited bus service.
Booking Drom Caoin direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Drom Caoin holds a 3-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.
