We had a few disappointments with our accommodations on our trip but arriving at the Argyll Hotel on Iona at the end of it all more than made up for them. Its a bit old fashioned but that's its beauty. I don't suppose anyone goes to Iona for modern multistorey hotels so its maybe not surprising. "Quaint" sums up the... More

We didn't stay in the hotel,but went for dinner on the last night before the hotel closed for the season.The public areas were warm and inviting, and we were welcomed and seated efficiently. The waiting staff were well informed about the menu and the wine list. The menu had well balanced and imaginative choices. The lamb and pork were particularly... More

I had a great stay at the Argyll. Super comfortable and quaint room. Delicious food. Great location. Only complaint- it is not really a full service hotel & staff are more focused on restaurant than hotel. Great overall. More

This was our second trip to Iona and we knew we wanted to stay at the Argyll with its fabulous views over the water to Mull, its good food and its warm welcome. Having read some earlier reviews, we booked well in advance and knew to ask for a front room with a view. We were not disappointed. The room... More

I can only comment on Dinner as we stayed in a cottage not far from the hotel. Dinner was incredible, quite unexpected for an Island as Iona. They've been doing a good job at it for many years and are still improving. The common rooms are nice (they had no problem letting us use wifi) and cozy, and the front... More

Three of us (myself, a friend, and her 87 year old mother who has a great deal of difficulty walking) stayed at the Argyll Hotel on Iona for 2 nights. The accommodations were very comfortable, with plenty of room, a hotpot for tea, and comfortable chair. I cannot say enough about the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff--they were magnificent.... More

We had a gorgeous stay at the Argyll Inn. Iona is magical. And though we only stayed one night at the Inn, we had a delightful time. The service was excellent. Our several somewhat unusual requests were cheerfully met. The room was fine and very comfortable. There are cozy front lounges with a fire to rest and chat. The meals... More

My girlfriend and I took the last room - one without a bathroom - at fairly short notice. She'd stayed at the hotel a few times since 1984, and had very fond memories of it, which she wanted to hsare with me. She was not disappointed, and I left with the same sentiment of wishing to return there, whihc her... More

Enchanting location for a hotel, overlooking the sound towards Mull. Afternoon tea on the lawn, with home-made scones and jam is something you've just GOT to try! A fabulous welcome from the most charming staff who simply cannot do enough to make your stay pleasant! Nothing seems too much trouble. I will most definately be going back! More

I didn't actually stay at the hotel as it was fully booked - instead i was camping over in the Ross of Mull. However, on 3 mornings I caught the ferry over to Iona and had breakfast at the Argyll Hotel. Absolutely delicious. Home made bread, wonderful veggie breakfast for me and a fruit and yoghurt smoothie. One day I... More
