“Ideal location and friendly b & b next to Iona”

An ideal b&b close to the Iona ferry. The rooms upstairs have views over the Ross of Mull and Iona. Jane and John are a very friendly welcoming couple with a very friendly chocolate labrador from Iona. The place is a model (all ticks in the boxes you can think of) and spotless b&b with breakfasts cooked to order from an extensive menu. There is a very friendly pub a few doors along and the Iona ferry is less than five minutes walk away.

“Great FOOD, Friendly Staff”

Seaview

Apr 21, 2008

John was a GREAT host and very friendly. His seafood dinner was one of the best we had in Scotland. Rooms were very comfortable. If you are going to Iona, it is a GREAT place to stay.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — In a B&B feeling comfortable with the host and the place is very important and the owners were GREAT.
    • Disliked — If you are going to Iona or Mull, you should stay here. Just keep in mind the one lane roads and condition of the roads in Mull. Allow time for travel. But I think nothing better can be expected of the place or the owners.

“Just a fine B&B”

A nice B&B close to the ferry to Iona and next door to the local bar and restaurant. The owner John knows a lot about the things you can do. He booked for us the restaurant on Iona and the boat trip to Staffa. The rooms are clean, not to big, but sufficient. The breakfast room gives you a nice view on the harbour. The table is not too big, so when there are many guests, you need to plan your breakfast.

Management Response
John Noddings, owner
(Management representative)
Feb 12, 2008
We note the comments by this reviewer with regard to the size of the bedrooms and our breakfast room.

Our home was built in the 1800's as a family home and is not a purpose built B&B as so many of the new ones are today. In 1997, to accommodate the increasing demand by guests for ensuite bathrooms we adapted our bedrooms to incorporate ensuite facilities which have meant that our bedrooms have reduced in size. A review in the 'Scotland on Sunday' newspaper described the rooms as 'boutique' style, individual and personal. We prefer to call them cosy rather than small and they are all well euipped offering everything one would expect at home.

Our breakfast table is a farmhouse kitchen style table and seats eight people comfortably. The breakfast room has unsurpassed views of Iona and the Abbey and our guests love sitting and enjoying the view. Our breakfasts are freshly cooked to order (not pre-cooked or ordered the night before) and therefore we do like to know when our guests would like breakfast - this does mean setting individual breakfast times for guests but it seems to work well for everyone.

Our emphasis is on excellent customer service and value for money which we feel is more important than bedroom sizes (which is something we have no control over). The positive comments in our guest book supports this as does the 97% overall satisfaction rate of our guests last year.

1/1 found this review helpful

As good a B&B as you could possibly hope to find, I could not find a fault with anything. Positioned next door to the pub/restaurant and a short stumble to the Iona/Staffa ferry-port you can get here and forget about your car for a while (and after single-track driving, that was a relief). Room was comfortable and very clean.

The breakfast's are worth the trip alone, local produce cooked to order by people who know and respect food.

The main asset though is John, the owner. He's friendly, informative and seems genuinely enojy his job.

We were so comfortable here and the B&B so homely that we didn't want to leave.
