The location is breathtaking and so special to have to yourself. We enjoyed walking the private beach and the woods. Our favourite experience of the entire trip was when we rented a row boat from Mary and rowed over to one of the many tiny islands on Lough Conn and had a picnic. The location is beautiful and peaceful. Pontoon doesn't have any amenities, but the next town Foxford had plenty. Ballina and Castlebar also aren't far by car. The cabin itself was comfortable abd very clean. The host Mary was warm, welcoming and helpful. Overall, a wonderful experience.
