Pontoon Hotels & Information

Pontoon is a lakeside village in County Mayo in Ireland, situated between Lough Conn and Lough Cullin, and near the town of Ballina. The area is scenic and there are several hotels in the area to service the tourist industry. The place was the location of a famous 'Ballroom of Romance' in the 1950s, which attracted large numbers of enthusiasts to its week-end dances from a large catchment area of county Mayo and further afield.

It was reportedly named for a pontoon-type bridge present in the area c. 17th century, but long since vanished.

Pontoon is primarily recognised as a haven for fishermen with select angling facilities on Loughs Conn and Cullin and the nearby River Moy. It is a central and ideal base for touring all corners of County Mayo, and is only an hour's drive from the cities of Galway and Sligo.
