Heritage Garden Cafe At Iona Heritage Centre

NO SCONES! nice cup of tea though and a biscuit. Would have sat outside if it wasn't full of midges at the time.

We ate indoors, due to the windy conditions, but it was pretty outside. The Elderflower Lemonade was quite delicious. The freshly-made sandwiches were quite tasty.

Called The Rookery Café it’s a lovely cozy place, has a beautiful garden. The owner is very welcoming. Delicious homemade cakes and coffee and serves light lunches. Speisekarte ansehen

We had a wonderful dining experience here. There were great gluten free options available, although the soup was a bit too peppery for my taste. The staff was very friendly.

An absolutely brilliant place to sit down and enjoy a break on the way to the abbey. Now called the Rookery café, sitting in the garden was very special as were the freshly baked scones!

Enjoyed the hot chocolates, cheese toasty and shortbread. Friendly and helpful staff with good knowledge of island. Lovely garden in Spring it was full of Blackcaps and Willow Warblers : Speisekarte ansehen

The cozy cafe seemed like a welcoming escape from the chilly rain. We ordered some cake and coffee, and they happily prepared a decaf for me using a French press. The desserts and coffee were delicious, the staff was friendly, and the other customers were also warm and welcoming. Since all the tables were taken, a kind patron invited us to join her, and we all enjoyed chatting about Iona. It was a delightful refuge on a rainy day!

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! We visited a charming restaurant and had some delicious homemade soup. I ordered a cheese salad and was pleasantly surprised by the tasty Kintyre cheese, roasted potatoes, and homemade rhubarb jelly. The owner was delightful and even offered to share the salad recipe with me. The atmosphere at the rookery was perfect, with the beautiful cawing of birds adding to the experience. My daughter enjoyed an Easter egg hunt the next day and the owner was incredibly helpful, even giving her a free hot chocolate to warm up. She was also very patient with demanding tourists. I can't wait to go back and enjoy the wonderful birds and delicious rhubarb jelly again. Thank you...

Good quality home baking, soup and proper toasted sandwiches. If the weather is kind it is lovely to sit in the garden among the fuchsia bushes.Service is friendly.The only issue is with the 'tradition ' that seems to have developed on Iona (and much of Mull) where businesses close down completely at the end of the season . Visitors to Scotland no longer restrict themselves to the traditional season in the same way as a few years ago, so although visitor numbers are obviously higher in the Spring and Summer, they do not disappear come October. Coach loads of tourists still arrive at Ffionnphort every day and the vast majority take the ferry over to Iona.It is a shame that visitors to somewhe... Speisekarte ansehen
