Such a warm and welcoming hotel! Beautiful views of the water and the Abbey which is right next door to the hotel. Views of water from the dining and sitting rooms. Wonderful little shop owned by hotel right across the road.

The owner attended to every detail with a discerning eye to make the stay comfortable. My friends and I spent a lot of time in the sunroom when the rains came and enjoyed the setting for cozy conversations. Breakfasts were delicious, with fresh eggs, fruit, yogurt and good coffee and juice.
Featuring mountain views and only a 10-minute walk to sandy beaches, Iona Pods features pod accommodations in Iona on a working croft. Complimentary WiFi is provided.

It was about a 20 minute walk from the ferry to the pod location near Dun' I. Pod was clean, snug and dry even during the gusty winds and downpours. The pod had all the tools we needed to make coffee and tea, prepare a meal, cook it and then refrigerate leftovers. It was a bit like camping in that we had to leave our pod to go to another building nearby for toilets and showers. Sinks with running water and dish soap and clothes washer/dryer were in a separate building.

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 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.
