Isle of Rona

A travel journalist summed up Rona when she said its main attraction was Rona. You don't come here to be entertained or occupied. Resilient, self reliant folk will enjoy the dislocation from the outside world, and the chance to switch off and live to whatever timetable or none each day suggests. The main track will get you the length of the island . Manager Bill has very usefully installed metre high painted posts to navigate you through the less obvious paths inc to the wonderful Church Cave and the Trig Point. All in a degree of comfort that belies its remote location.

We stayed for a wonderful, wild, windy weather week in January 2020. As described our cottage was warm (even during the stormy weather leading into Storm Ciara). Although the cottage is remote, on a remote island, it was accessible and very comfortable. The managers are ever ready to ensure their guests are happy - but respectful of privacy too. The kitchen is well equipped. The cottage a delight. Clean. There is a view across to the Isle of Skye; divine, from most rooms. We could've stayed for a year. Nikki's cakes and the venison was fantastic, buy them. Rona is Scottish, raw, wonderful.

We truly stumbled upon the entry for the Isle of Rona. We are immensely grateful we did. A one week stay is necessary in this heavenly place that is run by humorous and gentle folk, Bill and Lorraine. Escape is perfectly equipped and very comfortable, and its name befits an experience where there is no internet, limited mobile connection and no cars. Wonderful! We relaxed, read, walked, visited the beach, spoke to each other, feasted. Our stay enriched us and yet reminded us of the fullness of nothing. We highly recommend this unique and gorgeous place.

Been there for a week 3 years ago. Going back for 2 weeks this year. Best place on Earth to escape from it all. Just the fact of not hearing any engine noise for days on end is a feast for the soul. There seems to be a kind of "natural selection" in place for visitors to the island. This ensures you are not going to share your holiday with the noisy/annoying/littering kind of traveller. Bill and Lorraine are incredible: they discreetly check you are getting on fine with your stay, but very much leave you to enjoy and soak up the place. TOP STAY!
