Restaurants near Iona Abbey

We've been eating at the Knipoch for special occasions since it opened last year and love the venue, staff and ambience. This time we felt the lunch menu was not as good as on previous occasions. This may be due to the fact that they don't have many lunch visitors but if I had just dropped in on spec I don't think I'd go back. It didn't seem to be due to lack of staff, Becky and Mark served us and they worked hard to make our time enjoyable. There was a new Summer menu which was quite limited. We will definately go back because of the relationship we have developed with the hotel and staff. We hope others who may be similarly disapointed will give them a second chance.

Lovely food as always served with a smile but so terribly cold in the actual restaurant. I know electricity is very expensive but perhaps a couple of halogen or gas heaters would do the trick.

Went for the sunday carvery and it did not disappoint. Only one thing, the cake/desserts were too chilled
