Having found this place on my last visit to Edinburgh, I had no reluctance to stay there again, and will again. What a nice change from the hussle of the city centre and everything is quite convenient. There is free parking on the street outside the house, some excellent restaurants round the corner, bus stop round the corner etc. They... more

Everything about the Ashdene House was a pleasure for us... elegantly appointed rooms, excellent location, FANTASTIC showers, gracious hosts and delicious breakfasts. Comes with free bus passes so you don't need a car for the city. more

My wife and I spent a wonderful week at Ashdene House during the first week of our Scotland vacation. We enjoyed the hotel's quietness, the hosts' friendliness, excellent breakfasts, and location near Old Town Edinburgh. A major bus line 200 meters away allowed us to visit Cramond, Royal Mile, Roslyn Chapel, Holyrood, and Arthur's Seat. Many excellent restaurants are within... more

Ashdene House is fairly close to downtown; a cab ride from the train station took 10 minutes. Walking would probably be about 20 -25 minutes. Public bus stops are about a block or two away within easy walking distance, and the buses run very often. Owner was very friendly and helpful. One morning when we had to leave early for... more

We stayed at the Ashdene house for a week while attending a conference in Edinburgh. We had a simply superb experience. The property is perfectly clean and nicely decorated. It is easy to see that a lot of care and effort has been put into maintaining the property. Breakfast was wonderful, in a bright, airy sunroom that overlooks a well... more

My parents and I were so glad we choose Ashdene House. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. It was super clean, bright and airy. Breakfast was great, even for me and I'm a fussy vegetarian- fresh fruit salad, porridge, home-made breads - plenty choice! The area is so quiet at night, it was really restful. The... more

I found the owners extremely cold and terribly unhospitable. When we arrived (having walked for about 3.5 miles from the city centre), we asked the owner if there was a quicker route from the centre of town as we seemed to have walked for ages. He went straight on the defensive and said it was definitely 3.5 miles and didn't... more

My family has stayed twice at the Flat Apart, which is owned by the Ashdene House family but has the advantage (for some) of being separate and self-catered. From Day One it has felt like home to us. It is very comfortable, with superb beds, top-of-the-line fixtures and tasteful furnishings. There were no disappointments but only pleasant surprises, at the... more

Loved it! Definitely worth paying a little extra to sleep in a room there again. I paid for a single room but got a double bed, complete with all the extras that you normally see in a hotel, including a chandelier! The bathroom was of a very high standard with luxury toilettries and power shower. Quiet location, amazing breakfast, very... more
