Our holiday home is situated at Gillaroo Bay, Pontoon, Co Mayo on the shores of Lough Conn which is one of a series of lakes situated between the mountains of this spectacular region of the West of Ireland. This part of Mayo, the lakes and the mountains, is a perennial favourite with fishermen who come back year after year for the trout and salmon fishing; and for people who love this remote and magnificent part of the world with its proximity to the Wild Atlantic Way, its beaches and golf courses all within spitting distance of our property.

The nearest village is a few miles away. Lahardaun (The Titanic Village) is a small but picturesque place with a grocery store & post office, 2 lovely local pubs, a church, doctors' surgery, a Titanic Memorial Park and Nephin Whiskey Distillery, both are well worth a visit/tour. We are also situated within a couple of miles of the historic Foxford town with its internationally renowned Moy River and working Woolen Mill. An afternoon visit for a guided tour of the Mill and take in their fabulous shop is a must, with all their products and much more on sale; they boast the best eaterie in the area, fantastic breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas with a variety of delicious homemade cakes! Castlebar and Ballina are a 15 - 20 minute drive away. Westport is a 35-minute drive from the property.

The main attraction for this area is the landscape. The mountains, the lakes and the nearby fabulous beaches of the Atlantic coast are simply breathtaking. Take a trip to Achill or Clare Island, or stunning Enniscrone beach. Sit out on our front terrace watching the fishermen rowing on the lake or join them and soak up the peace and tranquillity on the water.
