Colonsay Hotel

Highlight • Restaurant

A welcoming hotel and restaurant which is open to non-residents and close to the ferry port - an ideal base for a comfortable stay on the island. The hotel can also arrange for a hire bike if you don't bring your own and would like to explore the island's roads.

Oronsay Priory and Tidal Crossing

Highlight • Natural

Oronsay is a tidal island off the south coast of Colonsay. It's crossable from here at low tide but sometimes involves a paddle and isn't suitable for a road bike. The island is safe though so lock it up and walk over to explore the carved gravestones, the remains of the Priory which was used from the early 1300's to the mid 1500's and the sea birds. The island is a RSBP protected site.

Oronsay Causeway

Highlight • Cycleway

There is a causeway that links Colonsay and Oronsay at low tide. It's entirely sand, so not great for your best bike but it is rideable. Alternatively, lock your bike up and walk over to explore the RSPB nature reserve and Priory.
