We stayed at the Ardoran House for just one night while visiting Scotland. The Ardoran is a beautiful house, right on the waterfront. It is tastefully, but simply, decorated and it evokes the beautiful hues of the Isle of Iona. The bedrooms are spotless and fully appointed. The beds are very comfortable and the en-suite bathroom is larger than expected.... More

Ardoran House is in a beautiful location and is a B and B of a very high standard. I was collected from the ferry and welcomed with a glass of wine. My room is big, comfortable and very clean. My evening meal was delicious, fresh halibut which melted in my mouth. After dinner I will sample the hot tub under... More

We stayed for one very windy night and it was simply lovely. Richard did a wonderful job with settling us in and supper was delicious (the dessert was divine). Both of us are generally hesitant to stay at B&Bs, but this was well worth it. Would recommend it highly.

I cannot recommend Ardoran House highly enough. From the warm welcome of Richard, the Manager, to the beautiful china and silver, lovingly set out for dinner, the tranquil setting with an outstanding view, the attention to detail, the delicious food, the comfortable bed..... I have to say that I do not tend to like B & Bs, but this is... More

Richard, the manager, of Ardoran, formerly inspected Scottish hotels and B&Bs. He has put his knowledge and experience to good use: all the little details that make a huge difference in a traveler's experience are here: the way the rooms are designed, the atmosphere, the way breakfast is served: it's all done to perfection, with charm and grace. A quick... More

I have never written a review online but felt I had to after staying at the Ardoran. This was my 3rd visit to Iona and I am grateful to have found this B&B on this visit; it was as wonderful as the island. As others have mentioned, the view is amazing, the food is exquisite, the rooms and beds comfortable,... More

We spent 3 nights on Iona at the beginning of September. From the moment we arrived Richard made us feel extremely welcome. Our room, which was on the back of the house was spacious, very well furnished and immaculaltely clean. The house was built as a B&B and is a perfect place to spend time on the island. It is... More

I feel very privileged to have been married on Iona - from Ardoran House. Our first visit to this glorious gem of a B&B was last August, when we were scoping out the feasibility of an Iona wedding. It was then that manager, the wonderful Richard, metaphorically threw the doors of Ardoran open to us and our family and friends... More

We came to Iona for one night and found Ardoran to be the perfect place to stay - from the see views, immaculate rooms , great breakfast, superb service and, to top it all the hot tub - with wine served :-D It made Iona that bit more special.
