Incredible location on the Isle of Iona near St. Oran's Chapel, the Abbey, and the Nunnery ruins. Amazing sea views from my window. Staff were unfailingly kind, warm and helpful. A full breakfast in a beautiful room off the main dining room was included, by far the most substantial and varied breakfast of my trip. There were a few glitches with the room, for example; the only light in the bathroom was attached to a noisy fan, impeding my ability to take a peaceful bath. Glitches were not bothersome enough to mar my overall enchanting stay.

Alarm went off before 6am was quite annoying especially as it was a technical fault. Food sounded better than it was, we had a family room which was small for 3. There was nice lounge and beautiful views.
