“LOVELY BED AND BREAKFAST”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst cycling round the Island and was delighted with our choice. Gillian and Ali have a lovely house which is spotlessly clean and well kept. The breakfast was delicious as was the homemade bread, marmalade and jam. Gillian was attentive without being intrusive and I was very impressed the way she remembered everyone's name at breakfast when she gave a small introduction which was a great ice breaker. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.

“We recommend a visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

We cannot recommend Staffa House more highly. Gillian and Ali have set up a delightful bed and breakfast accommodation. They have extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for Mull and Iona to help guests enjoy they time in the area.
Gilliam cheerfully arranged a very early breakfast to enable us to catch the first ferry out of Fishnish.

“A superior guest house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011

Gillian's warm hospitality and her very helpful local knowledge, and Ali's exquisite breakfasts, made staying at Staffa House a lovely experience. We had a large room, with a huge bathroom, and watching the sun setting over Iona from our bedroom window was truly memorable. Just one - entirely subjective - complaint: the mattress was extremely hard!

“"staffa house - look no further for visiting the area"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2011

I have visited Iona many times over the past 35 years but the hospitality and haven of peace that Gillian and Alison have created within Staffa House have made it one of the most memorable. Wonderful home cooking using local ingredients, always there to offer information on the area, supported by a lounge well- stocked with books and maps, everything considered to make your stay perfect. Gillian provides a personal caring approach not often encountered. Anyone considering visiting Iona should stop here in Fionnphort . I cannot reccommend it highly enough.

Room Tip: I had the only room on the ground floor, a twin, which although not elevated, had a lovely view over...

“Magical Staffa House: home made”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2011

After an all night flight from NY, car rental in Edinburgh, Ferry in Oban, drive to Staffa House in Fionnphort where the 8pm sun hung forever....we were greeted by the lovely and welcoming host Gillian who showed us all around the light filled, immaculate surroundings. Well situated just across from Iona with a perfect view of the Abbey and a few minutes walk to the ferry. Still restless and in need of a wee dram, our host guided us after a nap to the local bar a two and a half minute walk. Surprisingly still open with Celtic music, a comfortable fire a few other couples. We were in what I believe is called the family room at the Staffa House and our bathroom was the size of a small NYC apartment with the best view in the house! We woke to the smell of home baked bread by Ali, who we did not meet but who provided the most stunningly perfect breakfasts! Gillian made our small group of 5 strangers feel very comfortable and at home. It is here we rested and prepared for a wonderful two week journey to Orkney and more of the midnight sun. We can't wait to go back.
P.S. The bar from the night before also had a restaurant that was perfect! Local Ale, fresh local meats and cheeses and super friendly service! We hardly had to do anything to have all of our needs filled! In Fionnphort we had dreamy restful few days we won't soon forget.

Room Tip: The family room in the front of the house.
