My parents stayed at this lovely guest house for two weeks over the New Years holiday and had a terrific experience. Peter and Lindsey are very nice, caring, friendly and professional. They even let my parents keep their room for two nights while we went to England in January without charging them a penny since they didn't have any request... More

This was our second stay at the Ashlyn Guest House, and we will undoubtedly return. Spacious, immacuately clean, comfortable, quiet and the proprietors were wonderful. They were flexible about breakfast times when we wanted an early start. Conveniently situated on a main bus route into central Edinburgh, a journey taking only 10 minutes.

It's my second time here and I will definitely stay here again in the future. Great location for central Edinburgh and close to the Botanic gardens. Peter and Lindsey are very friendly and welcoming and the guest house is large and spacious with wonderful rooms, all very clean and tidy. After 4 days cycling from Newcastle to Edinburgh and having... More

Nothing wrong with this B&B but the reviews definitely overhyped it.On the strength of which we booked it.Parking is a problem all on the road so (a) may have difficulty getting a space-weekends are better.(b) may have a bit of a trog to B&B. En suite room-was a large room refurbished to accommodate a tardis bathroom(except it got smaller rather... More

What a fantastic place to stay! My friend and I booked 3 nights on a tour of Scotland. Knowing Edinburgh quite well I knew it was a nice location, a nice part of the city. It's a nice walk into the centre; if you're in more of a hurry there are plenty of buses from just outside. We were very... More

I actually stayed here in June or July 2011. I had a single room at the top of the house with the separate private bathroom - all was nice and clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good and service very welcoming.

Really nice guest house about 20min walk from Edinburgh centre. Stayed here at the end of a cycle trip over the May bank holiday weekend - made to feel very welcome. Rooms really nice and lovely breakfast in the morning.

I can't recommend the Ashlyn Guest House enough- it was so nice to have a homey touch in a big city. The Ashlyn was just out of the hustle and bustle of city center- but close enough to easily get to everything you'd want to see- plus you are right next to the Royal Botanical Gardens and just across the...

Our stay here was lovely. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, we were able to get a veggie friendly meal rather than the regular fare. There is a bus stop across the street which takes you downtown in about a 10 minute drive and the botanical gardens is just a... More
