Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is situated right next door to the abbey, and the whole island is walkable from there. The hotel has a beautiful food garden that is at least a few acres, and guests are free to walk in the organic garden, I found this very peaceful. Staff were all very helpful, picked up my bags at the ferry, which was welcome. The hotel is very comfortable with large lounge areas, which led to lots of interaction with other guests, adding to the pleasure.

Incredible location on the Isle of Iona near St. Oran's Chapel, the Abbey, and the Nunnery ruins. Amazing sea views from my window. Staff were unfailingly kind, warm and helpful. A full breakfast in a beautiful room off the main dining room was included, by far the most substantial and varied breakfast of my trip. There were a few glitches with the room, for example; the only light in the bathroom was attached to a noisy fan, impeding my ability to take a peaceful bath. Glitches were not bothersome enough to mar my overall enchanting stay.

Alarm went off before 6am was quite annoying especially as it was a technical fault. Food sounded better than it was, we had a family room which was small for 3. There was nice lounge and beautiful views.
