Location: Excellent proximity to the Abbey, ferry terminal, and village shops . Spectacular sea and garden views, especially from rooms with "seaview" or "lounge" access.

Wonderful view from bedroom. Weather was superb. Great not to have TV in hotel. Food provided was good, though sometimes too fussy and spicy for my taste. All staff were extremely friendly, well trained and hard working. Being transported to and from Glasgow without having to struggle with luggage was a big plus for me. Seeing the Northern Lights was a bonus.

Excellent starter of gin marinaded trout. I had sea bass. Nice but pretty standard… my friend had the duck breast. Not pink but overdone… lumpy mashed potatoes and the glazed carrots basically raw…. A shames as I was expecting better given the prices…

Unfortunately the weather prevented me enjoying the hotel garden but I appreciated it from the road as I walked past. The hotel is conveniently placed for everywhere I wished to visit and has a quiet, calm and peaceful atmosphere. Staff were exceptionally helpful even collecting my case from the ferry terminal.

If I could give 10 out of 10 I would ! I have just spent 4 night here with a group of 26 of us. We had breakfast and dinner 🍽️ included in our group rate and to say the food was outstanding is an understatement !!!!! We had choices for both meals and the portion sizes were perfect. A member of our group had various food intolerances and the chef prepared special meals for her each day. Nothing was too much. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with professionalism and care. We were met at the foot ferry by the manager of the hotel who transported our luggage as we took a leisurely 6 minute stroll to St Columba. We had a twin with sea view room. Yes the rooms are small but the purpose of our trip was not to spend hours in them. There were several comfy spaces to sit in including a lounge area with views to die for across the bay. Delightful !!

The food and location of this hotel and the service of the staff was exceptional! I felt like I was being invited into a friendly neighbor’s home. Sitting in the common room with the gorgeous windows was peaceful and such an unexpected treat! It was a great place for a solo traveler as I met some wonder people. My bed felt a little bit sloped, so the mattress might need to be turned, but otherwise it was a perfect stay! Thank you staff at St. Columba Hotel!! You went above and beyond every day.

We had the chance to stay on the island and at the St. Columba for three weeks. It is amazing how constantly friendly and helpful the staff are. Foodwise there was a hearty delicious breakfast including porridge and for lunch and supper a wide choice in meals from vegan to fresh fish and meat. The St. Columba is very clean and tidy, has a lovely lounge that overlooks the sound of Iona and has a lovely garden to sit an have coffee or a soup, e.g. from the larder across the streat. All in all: highly recommended!

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.

My daughter and I shared a homely en suite twin room with a beautiful sea view across Iona sound towards Mull and obliquely of the South side of Iona Abbey. The central location close to the Abbey enabled us to reach village shops and amenities, ferry, Northern beaches and the high hill of Dun I. Longer walks lead to the Machair dunes and golf links, loch, St Columba's bay and marble quarry. We enjoyed breakfast, dinner and morning barista coffee with splendid waitress service, superb local seafood and fantastic drinks. The hotel grows many vegetables in its own organic garden and serves its own malt whisky and gin with local botanicals. Bottles are sold in reception or in the larder shop.
