Bring your dog if
- You want a whole-property rental — no shared lobbies or corridors to navigate with your dog
- You're basing yourself in Edinburgh / the Scotland and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review — expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee and any size restrictions aren't published — confirm directly with the property before booking
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from Agoda — guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover — we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 41 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 8.0/10 — the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: June 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet policy at a glance
- Agoda lists this property as pet-friendly but the host has not published specific pet fees or restrictions.
- Confirm any pet fee, cleaning surcharge, dog-count limit and other pet-stay terms directly with the host at the time of booking.
- Whole-house format - no shared corridors and a private patio.
Pet-friendly summary
Grove House is a whole-house self-catering rental in South Queensferry, around nine miles west of central Edinburgh. The format itself works in dogs' favour: there are no shared corridors, no other guests next door, and a private patio out the back - which removes most of the friction dog owners deal with at traditional hotels.
The confirmed pet-traveller experience describes a quiet, leafy neighbourhood with plenty of greenery for walks, which suits dogs who can get unsettled in busier city-centre stays. Travelling to central Edinburgh is straightforward by train from Dalmeny station nearby or by car, though it does mean a journey rather than a short walk into the city.
The host hasn't published a pet policy on Agoda, which is normal for self-catering rentals - the rules are typically handled directly with the host at booking. Expect to confirm fees, cleaning surcharges and any restrictions (number of dogs, whether they can be left alone in the house) when you book. The property's overall 7.7/10 Agoda rating across just four reviews is a reasonable signal but not a deep one, so book with the same diligence you would for any short-let.
Best suited to dog owners wanting a whole-house base for an Edinburgh trip - especially if you have an excitable or vocal dog that would struggle in a corridor-based hotel - and who are happy to travel into the city when they want to be there. Less suited to anyone wanting walking distance to central Edinburgh attractions or the convenience of daily housekeeping and on-site dining. Earns a 4.0/5 paw rating on a single confirmed pet stay.
