Really cozy pods with comfortable beds, clean space, and efficient design. Kitchenette has the essentials for simple cooking though sink is across the yard in the common area. Toilet and showers were common but cleaned frequently and well equipped; i especially liked having fresh bath mats and would welcome the same system for towels since hanging space in pods is limited.

The owner and staff were friendly, helpful, patient and professional. This Inn is in a great location on the way to the Fhinphort Ferry. The view of the tide coming in and going out is wonderful.

It was a great location for us between Fionnphort and Craignure. Our beds were so comfortable! We didn't want to get out of bed in the morning. Very convenient to have dinner and breakfast at the Inn. Such a beautiful location. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely come back!

Very comfortable and ideally situated just around the corner from the ferry and by the beach. A lovely stay and particularly enjoyed the conversations about the island over breakfast. Lovely scones for breakfast, too.

Amazing setting with stunning views (& my great great grandma grew up here, so it always going to be extra special) Saskia was really thoughtful, putting out a book about the history of the croft just for us ..so it felt like being welcomed by my ancestors

Iona is a place for spiritual pilgrims, seekers of connection with the ancient traditions, and lovers of nature. Not much to do here except walk, pray, read, and ponder. The food is good at the two hotels (Argyll and Columba) and the garden of the Iona Heritage Center cafe is the most beautiful spot on the island to enjoy a tasty lunch (if the weather is not inclement.). The bookstore at the Abbey Welcome Center is wonderful. The Abbey museum is extraordinary. The boat trip to Staffa allows you to get close to puffins during breeding season. One of the great natural history experiences on the planet. Recommend Staffa Trips (the smaller boat).

Scenery, wildlife, history in abundance - absolutely breath taking. No cars allowed so be prepared to walk everywhere (there are some bikes that can be hired at the Spar shop). There is a very good café selling hot food / home-baking / teas & coffee but closes at 5.00 pm so if your staying over need to book a table at either of the two hotels on the island. Good food but a little expensive.

I loved Iona so much.

I loved Iona so much. I wanted to stay for more than the overnight. Walking around the island, soaking in the energy of the land and the beauty of the coastline was magical. It was very inspiring. I wrote two songs while I was there and started several more. I loved my hike to Port Banh beach and St. Columba's Bay and walking around the town. I dined at the Argyll Hotel, which was excellent and had lunch at the Marty's Bay Cafe & Bar. I also did the Nature Adventure tour to Lunga and the Treshnish Islands and Staffa and it was an incredible experience. I highly recommend that.

The Abbey and its history.

The Abbey and its history. There are next to no cars on the island so you have to be equipped for the weather and long hikes. The people - both tourists and islanders are very friendly. The island is quite pristine - we didn't see any rubbish strewn about.

I know the island well. It is truly a gem of the Hebrides. Disappointed in the lack of hospitality offered post Abbey service in comparison with past visits. Had a meal at the Columba Hotel which wasn't great. Otherwise a great visit.

The three nights we stayed in a comfortable and well equipped’pod’ were amazing. Looking out over the Iona Abbey was the icing on the cake, sheltered at the foot of Iona’s highest hill. The north circular walk was amazing. Joining the pilgrims for a welcome service at the Abbey was really enjoyable and friendly. The island has so much history and culture to absorb. Peace touching earth. White sandy bays were stunning. Wide variety of affordable eating places and a well stocked Spar shop. Pizzas were heavenly! It did help to have wall to wall sunshine throughout our stay 🌞🙏🏻👍 The islanders are so welcoming.
