Stayed here recently. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Wonderful breakfast selection. Travelled from Uist and were worried that our late arrival would present a problem. Needn't have worried. Received a very warm welcome from Verity, the Australian housekeeper, on arrival. Great location. Off-road parking. Hosts, Karen and Sean, are very helpful and considerate. Good value for money. Will recommend to others.... More

This b&b is easy to reach, but is near the main road, although this is not busy at night. There is a good fish restaurant nearby. Breakfast was good. It is well run by a friendly australian lady. However the bedrooms are over stuffed with furniture and extras that are not really necessary in b&b. I am happy to do... More

We had not booked any overnight stays enroute but found Grove House from the roadside advertisment. Verity welcomed us and made us happy that we had stumbled upon this B & B. The attention to detail was impressive and the video in the room giving us ideas of what to see was very helpful. The variety of choice for breakfast... More

This was my second stay in Grove House and once again everything was perfect. Karen and Verity are so friendly and so helpful.

After a long drive and some initial difficulty in finding the place it was nice to be greeted with a glass of wine by Lesley, the lovely housekeeper. Rooms were clean and comfortable and breakfast was great.

As a 'fishing widow', I keep a journal of places visited and some of my husband's trips have taken me to far flung corners of the world but despite the fact that my son lives in Edinburgh, we have never explored beyond the city, so this latest pre-Easter trip gave me the opportunity to travel to Oban on the west...

Spent a nice couple of nights at Grove House whilst pottering around Oban and surrounding area. Found it on Laterooms but ended up booking direct with the B&B. Room was really nice, modern and very clean - everything looked brand new in fact. Breakfast was excellent, loads to choose from and changed upon request without any problem. The only issue... More

This place has it all! Wonderful friendly owners, clean and comfortable rooms and a glass of wine you can enjoy in the conservatory. When they say "gourmet breakfast" on their website they are not kidding. It is fantastic. When back the area, I will definitely stay at Grove House again.

Grove House is easy to find and clean. Strangely, for a village B&B, it has the feel of a large anonymous hotel. The 'housekeeper Lesley was welcoming and informative Having been offered a glass of wine, it was rather surprising to receive little more than half a glass. The ground floor twin room in which we stayed would be better... More
