Ardoran House, hotel in Iona

Situated on the Isle of Iona, 500 metres from the Iona Ferry Terminal, Ardoran House boasts a sun terrace and a private beach area. Iona Abbey is 1.3 km from the property.

Very friendly host with a delightful property and a wealth of local information and anecdotes. House was very comfortable with carefully co-ordinated decor. Lovely breakfast! We felt like we got a greater sense of the island by staying in a smaller establishment, and very much appreciated being met at the ferry.

Iona Pods, hotel in Iona

Featuring mountain views and only a 10-minute walk to sandy beaches, Iona Pods features pod accommodation in Iona on a working croft. Complimentary WiFi is provided.

We stayed in an en suite pod whereas previously we've stayed in the basic pods. We found the added extras like having a working kitchen and ensuite really helpful. The view of the bay was amazing.

Normanns Ruh, hotel in Iona

Normanns Ruh is situated in Ballygown. The property features mountain and lake views. There is a picnic area and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

The property was very well presented, easily meeting the standard shown in the official photos. It would be hard to find a better location, remote enough to feel special but with facilities available for supplies (with a little planning). The views of the landscape and wildlife were really excellent.

    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.

    Iona is the most peaceful, beautiful and awe inspiring place. You need to go there and get lost in the hills, explore the whole perimeter and soak up the healing quality of this picturesque and wild place!

    Iona is like no place else on Earth.

    Iona is like no place else on Earth. Although steeped in religious history, you don't have to be a devout believer in anything to know that this is a special place. It gets you as soon as you step off the ferry - peace, calm, tranquility, call it what you like. You can't describe it, just feel it and it has to be experienced. Almost otherworldly, the island itself welcomes you and seems glad to see you. Try a candlelit evening service in the Abbey - everyone welcome, believer or not - and you are participating in a thousand years of ongoing history. Awe-inspiring.

    Iona is a small Island packed with so much history and the most fantastic views! If you like to hike but aren't in the greatest shape (like me) then Iona is the place for you! We hiked 3 to 4 hours all over Iona and saw so many amazing views, gorgeous beaches, wonderful trails to hike, and very friendly sheep to keep us company! The sun didn't set until well past 11pm (2100 hours) so we had plenty of time after dinner to see the sites and explore almost every coast of the island. The west side of the island had cliffs, beaches, and hiking trails that could have kept us busy for a few days if we had been able to stay longer. I definately recommend Iona as a 2 day destination for those who love fresh air and the glory of nature.
