Lagandorain cottage, on the beautiful Isle of Iona, sleeps 4 comfortably and is available to rent on a weekly basis throughout the year.

Tucked into the rocky outcrops at the north end of the island, the cottage has spectacular views to Staffa, Rhum and beyond. It features a living room with a picture window looking out north to the distant Black Cuillins of Skye.

Iona is an enchanted and historic island and Lagandorain cottage is the ideal base from which to explore its spectacular geology, beautiful shoreline, and the island’s abundance of rare flora and fauna.

The cottage is situated on a working croft encompassing the former Iona Hostel now The Green Shed at the North end of the island. The space extends from Dun I (the highest point on Iona) across the flower meadows to the pristine white sands below. The land has been worked for generations creating the familiar Hebridean patchwork of crags, wildflower meadow, crops and machair and is home to a breath taking variety of plants and birds.

The Cottage (on the left with the yellow woodwork) is adjacent to the main house on Lagandorain croft.

The ground floor has a kitchen equipped for self-catering, dining space for up to six people, a bathroom with bath & handheld shower, and a small twin bedroom.

The upper floor has a bedroom with a double bed, storage space and picture window panoramic ocean views out to Staffa, Rhum and beyond.

Across the hall is the living room with comfortable seating and the same stunning views as the bedroom through a picture window. Board games and books are available. There is no WI-FI or TV as we try to keep the cottage a quiet space away from the hubbub of everyday life.
