The Cathedral of The Isles & College of The Holy Spirit

This magical place is the perfect place to unwind and reboot your spirit. The beauty of the buildings, and outstanding acoustics lift the soul.

Our client stay at the cathedral was grand. We were delighted to discover the amazing library and other rooms could be enjoyed during our stay. Having breakfast in the Refectory and afternoon tea in the the cloister was all part of a truly relaxing and lovely stay. Our bedroom was comfortable and we had private use of a lovely common room with a grand view. I was especially pleased to discover a Scottish Wild Flowers book which I used during our walks and cycle around the island. A most enjoyable experience, enhanced by a warm welcome and enthusiastic staff. We look forward to a return visit.

Have been to Millport so many times over the years and never visited before. The people running the cafe were so welcoming the tiny Cathedral was beautiful. They were so happy to see us and explained if we wanted extra beverages (alcohol) we were welcome to bring our own 😁 We arrived 20 ladies on a walking trip and we each left with an extra inch on our waist. Fabulous home made scones and I was catered for specially when they found out I was vegetarian home made fresh cheese and onion pasties. Beautiful people in a beautiful part of the world tucked just off the main track.

We stayed here for a lovely week in May. A very peaceful and relaxing stay, with an excellent breakfast that kept us going until the afternoon. There is a common room with a shared fridge that was very useful. The staff were very obliging in organising our rooms to be close to each other. Would stay again, especially if the weather was as good as on our visit.

So comfortable and full of character in a wonderful setting. Lovely friendly staff, great service and food. We were keen to return and hugely disappointed to learn the diocese are closing the guest house. Why?!

This is a simply beautiful building befitting 1500 years of Christian worship in the West off Scotland. Smallest cathedral in Britain and my local church as well. Take time to explore this holy place as there are many architectural gems. The guest house is a timepiece and the library and refectory remind me of my old university dorm in St Andrews. Guest house is well regarded and the team will look after you well. I strongly recommend that you give it a go!

Didn't stay in the guest house but the location is beautifully peaceful and relaxing. Well worth a vist👍

We just got married in this cathedral and have to say it was simply beautiful (for those old rnough to remember tgese seets, it is a real midget gem!). It is the smallest cathedral in the British idkes and one of the smallest in Europe. Sadly, almost every tourist to the isle of Cumbrae misses this architectural gem. We were blessed to have Canon Alec Boyd preside over our ceremony and I cannot praise him highly enough. His patience, understanding, wit and good humour added to our experience and he welcomed us into Scottish Episcopal Church with open arms. In summary, the Cathedral is an architectural gem, designed in line with the Oxford Movement and the clergy are fabrastic. A must see venue for all discerning visitirs to the west of Scotland!
