Staffa House Guestbook
'Dear Gillian and Ali, thank you! You two, Staffa House and Iona are inspiring in ways I can’t put into words. Two nights, an incredible day on Iona – I am inspired to live with more depth and awareness. It is truly a magical place. Dolphins, seals, herons, incredible landscapes, good warmth, wonderful food…. many thanks for opening your home for me!'

'Dear Gillian and Ali, thank you for having me and my dad. When we first came in I felt at home straight away. The room is nice, the beds are comfy and I enjoyed the shower very much. The breakfasts and dinners were fantastic, especially the crannachan. At meals I enjoyed sitting in the conservatory and chatting to the other guests. P.S. I will force my dad to make the crannachan at home! '
