The Colonsay Hotel

This was a charming but rustic property. I expected that, as I read the age of the hotel. Tub/shower was a bit rickety, but clean. The rooms are heated with radiators that are on timers...you cannot control the temp yourself. Food at their restaurant was great. The place just needs a bit of TLC.

Great location

We recently stayed at Colonsay Hotel, and we absolutely loved it. The hotel's proximity to the harbor was very convenient for us since we didn't have our car. As soon as we got off the ferry, we saw the beautiful hotel up on the hill overlooking the sea. The room we stayed in and the restaurant experience were both amazing, and we're very grateful to the staff for making our stay so memorable. A special thanks to Ioana and Lucas, who served us in the restaurant and at the bar and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Even though we had only planned to visit Colonsay once, we're now thinking of booking another trip to the island because we felt so recharged after our stay. Both the hotel and the island are absolutely fantastic and worth a visit. Thank you, Colonsay Hotel, for a lovely stay!

This is the place to be in Colonsay! The boutique hotel is in a historic building located in a beautiful parc and few minutes away driving from ferry. It is a small very cosy hotel where our room was warm and nicely decorated.The restaurant has big windows with stunning view on Jura.We ate a delicious breakfast there, and the menu offers a wide choice. We also had dinner and the quality is excellent.Fresh oysters and scallops! The hotel downstairs is like a house with three different big rooms furnished with couches and a chimney.Whereever you sit the view is relaxing,on the 2 terrasses and garden.In the afternoon we sat outside in the garden and had tea.Like all of Colonsay island, here you can enjoy a peaceful moment in the silence. We hope to go back next August.

Lovely peaceful stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful but the hotel is showing signs of its age

Good location just 5 minutes walk up from the harbour, or one minute drive to the parking area. We had a standard bedroom which had a comfortable bed, was nicely furnished, with a good en-suite shower room. The several lounges, sitting areas and bar make the whole place a country house feel and centre of the island community. The restaurant looks out to the bay and serves a wide choice of delicious meals. The staff work very hard to give everyone a great stay.

The room was extremely comfortable! Definitely luxury bedding, and the room was clean, and luxury Hebridean soaps and shampoo were provided. Delicious meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner - very tasty all the way around). Service - small staff, expect delays if more than 2 parties are on premises (an island of 127 inhabitants can only do so much). Plan on being inconvenienced during your stay, and don’t plan on internet in your room. We were told internet reached our room, and the guest network did not reach our room, and despite our asking multiple times for a password for one of the three hotel networks that did show as available in our room, we were rudely ignored and dismissed. Overall, we would stay here again unless we were here for longer than 3 days and rented a self catering house now that we know the overnight arrangements, since we would plan accordingly.

Wonderfully appointed and historic building and grounds. Much thought has gone to updating this historic building. Multiple lounges, sitting areas and rooms are beautifully appointed. Great views. There isn't an elevator and at times is short staffed. Also enjoyed restaurant. reviewed separately.
