If you ask me, this is the place to stay on Iona. Lovely little hotel in a row of old fisher houses facing the beach. Filled with old-time character, and the restaurant serves fabulous food with home-grown garden vegetables and other local products. Given the age of the building, rooms are small (even tiny) and not luxurious, but with special... more

Even at the end of the season in October, this hotel makes you feel warm and special, and is great to stay in. Deserves to be TripAdvior's No 1 on Iona! We had spent the previous night in the St Columba (the only other hotel on the island) and infinitely preferred the Argyll. It's main lounge/dining room/bar/reception had a real... more

I loved this hoel when I stayed three years ago and returned with my fiancee. The good parts were still just as good. The staff, location, food, and bedroon were still beyond reproach. Indeed the staff really helped make our stay a very enjoyable experience. However, sadly, a couple of things let the hotel down. The front sitting rooms are... more

It's not easy to get to, but it's worth it. A 5 hour trek from Glasgow, Iona seems perched on the edge of the world. This hotel, one of two proper hotels on the small island, features small-ish rooms, appointed typically, and a nice restaurant where I took three meals (two dinners, one breakfast--all enjoyable). When I decided to extend... more

The Argyll is one of those exceptional places that is absolutely worth the splurge and you know you want to go back again. Set overlooking the ocean, the rooms are quaint, comfortable and cosy. The restaurant's food and wine was excellent even though the service was a bit scattered. After dinner it's a very short walk to the Abbey which... more

Quaint, old stone B&B in the village located on Iona. Small rooms but all essentials are adequately provided and everything is in working order, clean, and comfortable. Excellent food: only cereal breakfast is included in the price of a room, but a choice of typical Scottish breakfast choices are available at added cost. Dinning room is charming and service is... more

What an absolute gem! Visited the restaurant on two consecutive nights and had two of the best meals I've ever eaten. Fabulous service, I mean - FABULOUS. Polite, knowledgeable, just the right amount of formality, pitched perfectly. Small but excellent wine list (we sampled red and white). Small but brilliant menu with extra choices from a 'specials' board. Can thoroughly... more

A long way from home but worth the visit. Iona is spectacular enough but the food in the hotel was outstanding - a revelation. I can agree that maybe the bedrooms are a bit old-fashioned and tired but certainly ours was clean and it all added to the overall experience of staying on the island. The staff were attentive and... more
