The restored Iona Abbey, originally a medieval Benedictine foundation, welcomes up to 50 guests each week - as well as thousands of pilgrims every day during the summer months. The Abbey provides neither a retreat house nor conference centre, but offers a unique opportunity to live with people from all over the world and all walks of life. Guests and staff of the community share all aspects of life - meals, daily worship, programme activities, chores and social events in a place which allows them to feel safe in exploring issues that challenge or concern them and to have space to reflect on their lives.
Accommodation is mostly in bunk-bedded rooms for two, three, or four or five people.
Disabled access is severly limited. Many people who come to Iona return again - and again. To spend some time in such a historic and inspiring setting is to be open to challenge and the exploration of new horizons.
