We arrived in Pontoon at our apartment overlooking the lake in a rain and wind storm . The forecast was bleak and as we had young children with us were worried that our two week stay would be marred by weather. We needn’t have worried however as the property had everything we needed to enjoy a family gathering in the most beautiful location right on Lake Conn . The weather broke enough for us to be able to swim
off the Dock almost daily and the younger children enjoyed swimming and playing on the private beach which was only steps away .. It also proved to be an ideal location from which to take day time fishing trips and excursions to other areas such as Achill and having golfers in the group who played locally in Ballina and also the incredible course at Enniscrone . Mary is a delightful host and was never too busy to answer any questions we had and her recommendations were really helpful. The donkeys w are permanent residents on the land and part of the family ! The children were smitten. They were also smitten by the hot tub and the sauna which were a welcome treat after a bracing swim in the lake . The apartment which feels more like a house, was very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly . The views and sunsets can be seen from the large lake facing windows of the living room and while the weather didn’t exactly permit alfresco dining , we were still able to enjoy looking the lake while eating inside. Ten out of Ten for a family holiday ..

The property was stunning including, beach, forest walk, views of the lake and the sweetest donkeys!! The host, Mary, has thought of everything! Every room with an ensuite, hot tub, outdoor patio, even a sauna. If you’re travelling to the West of Ireland, don’t miss the opportunity to stay here!

Great family holiday at Pontoon
We stayed with Mary at Pontoon for 7 nights. Family of 5 with 3 young kids. The kids loved feeding the friendly donkeys every day and playing on the beach. We went paddle boarding and also rented a rowing boat to explore the lake and islands. Mary was very welcoming and attended to our every need. I would highly recommend Pontoon for any family with young kids looking for a safe environment with loads to keep the kids happy. It's also a great base to explore the rest of Mayo, a beautiful part of the country.
