Grove House is a really nice, modern B&B in a lovely setting but this was a bit overshadowed by the attitude of the owner. Having booked a double room we arrived to be told the room we had booked wasnt available but a larger room was! I could never have thought this could be a problem but we were then informed the room had a double bed and 3 single beds which were 'made up and ready for a family arriving the next day, and please could we not disturb them and only use the one bed'. With all these beds the room was a bit cramped so as a result of our 'warning' we were nervous of even throwing a coat on a spare bed. Have to say the breakfast the next morning was good but ran the shower for 15minutes before going up for it and no hot water came through. Tried again after breakfast and again no hot water. Headed back upstairs to find Wendy and tell her and I was basically told 'Ive had the burner on all morning so I cant control how long other guests spend in the shower, there was oceans of hot water this morning, you'll have to wait 15ish mins for it to heat up' - there wasn't even a hit of a 'sorry about that' and surely a Failte Ireland approved B&B should be able to provide enough hot water for the max. number of people staying no matter how long you spend in the shower. As I tried a number of times over the space of an hour to run hot water it was obvious there was none on the way so we just gave up and left. So if you like to wash, be able to relax and not feel you'll be reprimanded for staying in bed until 9.45am dont stay here.

The owner, Wendy, of Grove House was most welcoming and very helpful and the accommodation was perfect . I am very surprised at the other review and wonder if it was malicious as there appear to be quite a few similar reports on other accommodation in the area. Maybe someone else was in charge when the other people were there, but anyway we had a delightful stay for the money and we would certainly recommend it to everyone. The rooms were delightful and very clean and well equipped.
We could find NO fault with our stay. Thank you Wendy

8/9 found this review helpful

I have stayed in Grove House a few times and found it fine and so didn't hesitate to recommend it to my family. However this time when we stayed we booked four rooms and the lady, who i presume is the owner, was unfriendly to the point of being rude. It seemed that she was doing us a favour by letting us stay and we were really just a nuisence. She scowled from the moment she opened the door and we certainly didn't feel comfortable or welcome! We certainly won't be staying there again or recommending this establishment to anybody else!
