We had a brilliant experience here – this place so works in every way! The staff are genuinely friendly and obviously happy to be there. You feel so at home immediately. The food is sublime! Breakfast includes homemade yoghurts, homemade bead and jams and fruit compotes. the full breakfast is perfection itself. Last but not least the beer is made on the island.

Local fishermen provide the hotel with crab, lobster and langoustine, while islander Andrew Abrahams supplies oysters and honey. Fish is generally sourced in Oban, though trawlers occasionally call in to the pier and sell their fish directly. Salads come, where possible, from the kitchen garden at Colonsay House. – The Guardian

The kitchen’s approach is focused on island produce with a strong line in fish from local boats and own-grown produce. It delivers simple, straightforward cooking, typified by local crab salad with brown crab dressing or Colonsay garden salad with courgette flowers stuffed with ricotta. – The Good Food Guide
