Argyll Hotel

Katy, Daf, Wendy and Rob and the team welcome you to The Argyll Hotel and continue the great tradition of Hebridean hospitality. We are a small hotel and want you to feel relaxed and 'at home from home'. The hotel is a great base for you to explore and enjoy the magical island of Iona. Our staff aim to make your stay as comfortable as possible and we pride ourselves on our service and attention to detail with our guests.

The hotel dates from the 1860's so rooms are all different unique shapes and sizes; our rooms are not the biggest but they are cosy and comfortable. All our bedrooms are ensuite, except for Room 8 which has an exclusive bathroom next door. All have tea making facilities and hair-dryers. Hypo-allergenic bedding can be provided. If you have additional needs during your stay please tell us immediately and we will do everything we can to arrange things for you!

Our delicious food is served in our relaxed and friendly dining room or outside table service. Breakfast is included in our room rate. Our soup and sandwich based lunch menu offers quick service and dinner is a la carte. Booking is essential for the evening or if larger groups want to enjoy lunch. Food provenance comes first!

An organic garden has always been part of the Argyll Hotel Iona and we are fully certified by the Soil Association. The garden is situated above the hotel adjacent to the Nunnery and visible from the 'Road of the Dead' on the way to the abbey. The rich basalt soils are nourished in the traditional Hebridean way with heaps of seaweed from the beach and our own compost made from garden cuttings and recycled kitchen vegetable waste. Our chefs and gardeners work in close collaboration to decide what is planted and menu design reflects what is being harvested.
