How do I describe the island of Colonsay and the Hotel? It is impossible to find the right words. This is an island of incredible beauty, almost dream-like quiet, the most amazing beach ever, it is such a special place. The hotel is an old inn, just up the pier road from the ferry dock, with classic weathered architecture - uneven floorboards, winding stairs, safe timeless feel, but modern in the things that matter - comfortable bed, functional bathroom etc. The screen-less windows open to sea air and birdsong. The restaurant has a decent variety of good, simple food with local ingredients. The bar has local peaty whiskeys and a welcoming atmosphere. One comment - Colonsay is a small island, but it is hilly and the single road is winding. While bringing a car over on the ferry is expensive, it really is the only practical way to see the island, to get up to the stunning Kiloran Bay beach, to bucolic Colony House for lunch in the garden cafe, and down to the Oronsay causeway unless you are a vigorous hiker or biker with lots of time. Don't miss the surprisingly interesting historic museum in an old church up near the beach, and the salmon smokery - most delicious salmon ever. This is not an island with excitement or modern entertainment, but don't neglect to just sit quietly, wee dram in hand, blue sea and green hills in view, and listen to the sheep, birds, and wind. Even if I never go back, a day will not pass that I don't want to be on Colonsay.

We stayed two nights and loved the place. Charming, authentic, cool place with lots of space to relax. Old but that’s the point as has some history.
Walking distance from ferry as we were on foot.
Food offerings were great and well prepared. Staff very friendly and accommodating. No rigid rules and they always found solutions.
Beds comfortable, amenities were good.
Would recommend for sure.

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.

Couldn’t fault the property or the staff.
The amenities are as best as you could expect in such a small island.
Manager was very helpful and chatty
I would recommend the Colonsay Hotel for shorts stays , not because there is anything wrong with it , the staff , ir the island but it is a small island and there is only so much you can do.
Beaches are stunning and so is the walk across The Strand to the Isle of Oransay
