About the Catholic House of Prayer (Cnoc a’ Chalmain) on the Isle of Iona:
The Catholic House of Prayer offers accommodations….both twin and double for stays of at least two nights.
Within Cnoc a’ Chalmain is a beautiful, simple Oratory, where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved. It is there for Mass, and for private prayer. It can be reached directly from the outside, for pilgrims not staying in the house.

Traveling to the Catholic House of Prayer (Cnoc a’ Chalmain) on the Isle of Iona
You can travel by ferry from the mainland that will take you to the East coast of Mull. The Iona ferry departs from Fionnphort (pronounced fin-a-fort), at the southwestern tip of Mull. Please note that cars are not allowed on the Isle of Iona.
They offer this advice on their website: The weather on Iona is notoriously changeable. It is not uncommon to experience hail, rain, and sunshine on the same day! Iona’s maritime climate means it is rarely very hot or very cold. It is, however, often windy, and the windchill factor can make it feel really cold. We recommend lots of comfortable layers that you can easily put on and off, along with waterproof jacket and trousers if you have them.
