Belcarra has been awarded the Tidy Towns award on many occasions and is situated on the Manulla River, which is a tributary of the River Moy. For anglers, Cloonaugh Lough and Walshpool Lough provide great fishing opportunities, and further afield attractions include Mayo Abbey, Westport, Lough Mask and the Museum of Country Life.
The West of Ireland conjures up many images; thatched, whitewashed cottages, a flock of sheep on a narrow road, an emerald green field with a stone wall, or the Atlantic waves crashing into towering cliffs and rocky shores.
Reviews of Annie's Cottage
"The cottage was as perfect as you could ever find, as were the owners. It was unbelievably clean, tidy and warm. I spent a week in it with my partner, my parents and my brother. It was cosy for all 5 adults yet there was ample space to spread out and enjoy the peace and quiet of different parts of the house. The grounds were idyllic and well kept. It was very accessible and most important, central for all sightseeing and tourist attractions. Will absolutely be recommending to family and friends."

"This is a great property and considerably undersold (ans under priced). The property has two kitchens, two distinct living areas, two separate bedroom areas (one bedroom in one section of the house and two in another) and three bath/shower rooms. Mai and James are perfect hosts and welcomed us personally to the cottage where the fire was lit, some starter food items and a very nice bottle of wine. There is so much room in the property that it would easily be divided into two units with one for a young married couple and the other for a family. This is a great hide-away and only about 5 miles from Castlebar town. The only negative comment is that there is presently no internet connection but this a general problem in the area. However, this is due to be resolved in the next few months with the completion of a new high-speed network in the area, I have no connection with the owner prior to meeting at this rental and I have not been asked to submit this rewview."
