My sister and I arrived on a very blustery day to be warmly welcomed by the owner with tea and scones in the conservatory. It marked the beginning of a very memorable two days. Each time we came in from the cold the hall was warm and inviting. Our bedroom was beautiful with crisp laundry and the lightest duvets. Breakfast... More

This was my second trip to Iona and Ardoran House. Both the island and Ardoran B&B are very special. On both trips, I stayed for a week as part of a creative writing retreat. Richard's warm hospitality, fun personality and fabulous breakfasts made for yet another memorable trip. The house is beautiful, every room modern, light and tastefully decorated. My... More

We've travelled around the UK and the world over many years in some really nice places with great views and 'supposedly' good service.

Coming to Iona was a new experience and... More
