Beautiful location with excellent views of Mull. Lovely, relaxing sun lounge overlooking the sea with polite and friendly staff looking after us constantly. Food was delicious and breakfast was excellent. Very accomodating for dogs. Little extras like golf clubs, drying places for coats and shoes and lifts to the ferry also very nice touches.

My room wasn't huge, but it was very comfortable, it had a sea view and everything I needed.

I just loved this hotel. Very friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere. There's a great lounge area with floor to ceiling windows and views out to sea. You could just sit there and read a book, and staff would bring you a cafetiere of coffee. They'll transport your bags from the ferry to the hotel and back, too. On location, it's maybe a ten minute walk from the ferry and a three minute walk to the abbey. The food in the restaurant is great, and you can also get sandwiches or soup from their Larder store opposite and eat it in the lounge area. I'd definitely go back.

Food choice was limited and average tasting. Needs to have better food to make a good complete experience.

Iona has a very welcoming and friendly community. The hotel feels like an extension of that. The staff make you feel at home; the location is stunning; and the attention to detail and restaurant offer really make staying at st columba really special.

All good here.

Great welcome at reception and bags were looked after until check in time (even transferred to our room). We had a nice lunch in the garden then a superb dinner in the lounge (even our Husky dog was well looked after). The location is stunning with so many beautiful aspects it's impossible to list them all. Staff were welcoming, helpful and informative, a real pleasure to talk with. We will be back again next year for sure, it was such a great weekend.

Very loud party of Americans who were eating their own food and were sprawled across the residents lounge running the young girls (waitresses) ragged! Our room had not been cleaned properly as the dust was thick on the head boards and the skirting boards, the glass shelf in the bathroom was very streaky as was the dressing table top. The bedside table was ringmarked and streaky as well. I know these are small points but when paying £200 + for a night would have expected a bit more attention to detail. 🤔

Warm, lovely views, plenty of staff but not very attentive. The reception staff were excellent, chatty and offered to help with our luggage AND drove us back to the ferry when we were ready to leave.

Our room was a bit noisy, there was like a machine sound/boiler making noise intermittently. The water pressure of the shower was very very low. The bed was sinking a bit.

Amazing location, great outdoor area, the food at the restaurant was delicious. They offered to carry our back to the Ferry. The lounge area has incredible views.

While the food in the restaurant was lovely, the descriptions on the menu may need a bit more information. My wife had the Iona seaweed battered cod but it didn't say anything about a spicy sauce that it was served in which appeared to be chilli based and was hot! (needs to include how spicy the food is as a guide on the menu as not everyone likes or can tolerate spicy food) and we did hear others in the restaurant complaining about the same thing. We did get forgot about at breakfast but it was soon rectified and no harm done as we were in no hurry by then, as were fully relaxed after a good nights rest!

What is not to like about the amazing location, stunning scenery and full of history as well! The staff were very friendly and helpful too. I loved the local food in the restaurant on the night (I can highly recommend the venison steak, the sauce with it was amazing, I wasn't sure I was going to like it but loved it). The hotel is an excellent base to explore Iona and the rooms, while quite small, are lovely and comfortable to get a good nights rest.

Lovely breakfast and idyllic location

Nothing, really. The shower came away from the stand on the wall, but it was easy to fix. It may have been nice to have a television 📺 in the room, but I appreciate that not everyone watches tv when on vacation.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly 🙂 The Isle of Iona is spiritual and calming. We only had a little bit of time there, so we would love to return and stay longer next time.

I love this property. Nothing to complain about.

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.
