About us

Who we are

Bishop’s House was founded in 1894 by Alexander Chinnery-Haldane (the then Bishop of Argyll and the Isles) as a place of Prayer, Study and Eucharist. This is still our purpose today. Chinnery-Haldane hoped that both staff and guests would enter into the spirit of this House. In the winter 2010 edition of Inspire magazine our Bishop Kevin Pearson said: “Argyll is a place where people come from all over the world, and it’s important that when people walk into our churches they should feel at home. They should be able to see that there are people here who respect the sacraments.” This is our work at Bishops House: to welcome people; to make them feel at home; to provide them (and ourselves) with a place of respect for God and others. Our work is vital to this. We may not all be preachers, teachers or members of clergy, but our cooking, cleaning and hospitality allows a deep and meaningful time with God for all at Bishop’s House. Bishop's House is situated close to Iona Abbey and looks out to the tranquil setting of the Sound of Iona. The beautiful Columba's Chapel is situated right in the heart of the house. Bishop's House has a fine tradition of good wholesome home cooking. This is an Episcopalian retreat house, and as such it is essential applicants be sympathetic and respectful to the Christian ethos of the house whether or not they themselves are religious.
