The gorgeous Machair House offers an excellent, homey feeling. It is charmingly and cosily decorated. Offers all necessary commodities and with its spacious layout grants enough room to let the traveler breathe comfortably and come to profound rest. Beautifully cared for, which one can really feel and which adds to the general positive effect, the island itself can have on someone. Would 10/10 recommend and hope to visit again.

Iona is our favourite wee island. We always leave a bit of our heart there. We have stayed in different parts of the island, our first time at this end and at this time of year. Machair House has views from all the windows, we only used one bedroom but spent time just looking out of the others! A beautiful bedroom with a very comfy bed. Sunrise and sunset views, the sea, the spouting cave. Very comfy outdoor furniture which we we got the use of before the weather turned. We had one glorious day showing Iona at its best, some not so good. Then Storm Amy arrived with 90mph winds to take away our power, phone signal and ferries! You always have to be one step ahead on Iona and we made do but the log burner did overtime keeping us cosy, boiling water and heating food. Jamie was amazing!! So welcoming and helpful. What a treat getting picked up from the ferry. He made sure we were ok during the storm and kept us informed of the ferry situation and even made us some lovely pancakes. The house is a mix of old and new which tells the story of the family home. We loved our stay even in a storm đ thank you Jamie for helping relieve some of the stressy bits of the week.
Our 9 not 10 was for the kitchen, it needed organising. We had nowhere suitable for our food but cleared some stuff to use the open shelves. Maybe some plastic storage boxes on there for storing food items would be good. The coating on the bottom of the pans wasnât great and that cutlery drawer âșïž butâŠ.the positives always outnumber the negatives on Iona!

Stunning location, charming host, extremely cosy and comfortable, well equipped with lots of âextrasâ - beach towels, waterproofs, outside mats etc. etc. There is not much accommodation available on Iona and this is a gem!
As mentioned in other reviews- an upstairs bathroom/ toilet would undoubtedly benefit the property otherwise we ( more than) liked everything about the property.
