We enjoyed our stay in the family room at the Ashlyn guest house very much. Sadly we have only been there for 2 nights - would have liked to stay longer. Peter was always very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, the room was qiet, comfortable and clean. The private bathroom was also very clean and just 2 steps... more

We ended up at the Ashlyn after our original hotel booking was cancelled at the last minute and what a lucky chance it was. The hotel is immaculate in every way, the staff absolutely charming, the room was vast, warm and, although next to a main road, we were not disturbed by traffic noise at all. The gentleman who was... more

I stayed here for a weekend in Edinburgh and I had a very pleasant experience here. I was looking for inexpensive accomodation and the rates were quite good, although I had to book a twin room because it was the only one available with en-suite bathroom (in my opinion, a must for a solo female traveller), so it was a... more

Management response from
Lindsey Kelsey, Owner

Hi there, Lindsey here - you met my husband Peter when you stayed with us. I thought I'd respond to your review as we're really sorry you found the bus service (normally very good), a disappointment. We have 3 buses that go into town, (less than a 10 minute journey) which normally arrive at 5-10 minute intervals across from our...

We were really happy for our three nights at Ashlyn in Edinburgh. You might like to know that the name means “ dream” in gaelic! Lindsey and Peter are just so nice and welcoming. Plus they are full of good advice; be it Peter’s ideas on walking to Leith or Lindsey’s tips on the best fried Mars Bars in the... more

Actualy we where hesitating to take this B&BF, as we thought it is a little bit out of the center of edinburgh. But as nearly all B&BF's where full or exzessively expensive, it was the best option. When we arrived we found out that it was a big luck that we had, to land in Lindsay's and Peter's house. We... more

Peter and Lindsey are wonderful hosts, and their B&B is very comfortable and clean. Our room had very high ceilings and was well-decorated . The en-suite bathroom was small, but more than adequate. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast in the morning too. Overall, great value for the money. Although you aren't right in the middle of Edinburgh, the heart of... more

I stayed here two nights, one night with a friend and one night on my own a few days later. Peter and Lindsey were both incredibly helpful during both visits. We had booked ahead by email for the first night and were put into a very comfortable twin room with its own bathroom. Everything was very neat and clean and... more

A great B&B

Ashlyn is simply a charming Guest House! The owners were nothing but friendly and inviting and my room well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast menu had several yummy cooked to order selections to choose from as well as plentiful continental items. There is a lovely back yard and several shops and restaurants just up the street. The house is almost... more

My boyfriend and I wanted to book a weekend escape to give us some much needed time away. We could not have chosen a more perfect place. The house is beautiful and our room was spacious and clean. It was worth waking up a little earlier then we would have liked for breakfast (served between 8 and 9) as everything... more
