“Excellent Stay at Grove House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Just home from a two night stay at Grove House. We arrived late on Friday night and Lesley made us feel very welcome. Showed us to our room and told us where we could find everything and explained about breakfast and all the rest. Lesley gave us a taxi number which they have a fixed rate with to get to Oban, if you dont want to take your car which is great as we used the taxi a few times.
The room we had when we first went in looked abit on the small size but when we got in and settled in, it was the perfect size for us. In the room we had tv, cd player, a safe, bathrobes also got Coffee/Tea & also Fresh Bottled water each morning and also chocolates very well presented room and alot better than some hotels i have stayed in without a doubt and half the price as well. And after the long drive the glass of complementary wine was just what we needed. Bed was very comfortable as well had a good night sleep both nights.
We had to share a bathroom which at first i thought oh no, but you would not think you were sharing with anyone as the bathroom was of very high standard and always clean with fresh towels. The shower was great and to be honest again the bathroom/shower room better than most hotels i have stayed in.
Breakfast was very good and Lesley done a great job and Anna was very polite and very helpful. You order your breakfast the night before so they already know what you are wanting. There was no long wait it was great.
This B & B is very well presented and you feel very welcome from the time you arrive to the time you leave. I dont have any negitive feedback about this b & b and will recomend it to friends if they going to travel to connell or Oban or up that way....And i will certainly go back thank you Lesley for making our time at Grove House enjoyable and making us feel welcome. Also Brian when we saw him always spoke very nice couple.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your stay with us. I am delighted to hear that you were able to enjoy all the facilities we offer, and that the glass of Chardonnay went down well too !

I was away for the weekend, and Lesley and Anna were running the place. So it was lovely to read such a glowing review. They both take great pride in their work, and thoroughly enjoy welcoming people to Grove House.

I do hope, should you manage another trip up our way in the future that i will to meet you next time...

“Perfect Match”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

person found this review helpful

A perfect match of friendly service and delicious food and sleeping arrangements. The hospitality of Lesley, Brian during the day and evening and the light and lively chit chat in the morning from Karen and Sean (Shawn) were enjoyable. The best thing was "no surprises" It is what it is and that's just perfect. A little glass of wine on arrival and good instructions for our stay started us off and on our way. The selections at breakfast were out of the ordinary along with the full Scottish breakfast - very refreshing, tasty, and the smoothies were real smoooooooth. Great coffee machine for that early morning fix and late night jolt. Lesley was like our personal angel, when you thought of something she was there before you could say it. Thanks, Leslie and all for a stress free stay at the Gove House.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your stay at Grove House. It was a delight to meet you, and to chat to you over breakfast.
I am pleased to hear that you were able to enjoy our gourmet breakfast, and also that our new coffee machine went down well too!
It has been a great success , in particular for the early risers who wish a coffee, hot chocolate etc while reading their newspapers in our conservatory prior to breakfast service begins.

I do hope to be able to welcome you back to Grove House at some other future date.

“Fantastic B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

As Regular visitors to the Isle of Skye we decided to break the drive and stop at Oban. We booked the Grove house bed and breakfast and we couldnt believe how lucky we were! We arrived slightly early and were greated by Lesley who was a most delightful woman, she was so helpful and a pleasure to speak to. We were shown to our room and Lesley explained everything we needed to know. The room was more than expected, the presentation was lovely and such things as tea/coffee/water were all available in our room (not to mention the complementary glass of wine) there was also what must be the most comfortable bed in Scotland.
Breakfast was wonderful, nothing was spared and we met the owners who were wonderful people. The breakfast food and presentation was of great hotel quality with the personal touch of a bed and breakfast, the owners clearly care about their guests and reputation.
I have already recommended the Grove to friends and would have no doubt about recommending to the TA community.
Would definately return.

“Warm and Welcomed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

To all those looking at planning a driving holiday in Scotland I would most definately recommend this little guesthouse that has a four star rating but provides a five star service. Don't miss out at visiting this small village and whilst there stay at the Grove. Both Rachel and Leslie were most welcoming and accomodating. I would recommand it to everyone!!

Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your stay with us at Grove House. I am sorry that I never managed to meet you during your stay. I was away on business. I am delighted to hear that the girls looked after you well during your stay. They both take great pride in what they do.
They have asked me to say that they do hope that you come back in the not too distant future.

I do hope to meet you on your next trip...
