After traveling from York, where we had a nice, but small b&b, this was a pleasant surprise. The family room was extremely spacious, and well appointed. Although we had to cross the hall to use the bathroom, it was a private bath, and again very spacious. Room was clean, breakfast filling with options, and location overall was good. Although not located within walking distance to most tourist sites (exception would be the botanical gardens), the bus service was extremely reliable, and we never had to wait more than five minutes. We stayed for three nights, and generally would return back to the b&b for a siesta in the afternoon, and it was never an issue, as we could return to the heart of the action within 15 minutes by bus.

We enjoyed our weekend at the Ashlyn.
The main things were good: clean rooms; comfortable bed; good breakfast choice and cooking; good location for Botanic Gardens and still quite close to centre of town: public transport only yards from front door.
The only suggestion I would make is that a bit of net curtain would offer some privacy without blocking out the natural light.
We said thanks on leaving but we are happy to say it again in print.

Trying to find a B+B close to a colleague's house,I found this Guest House via the internet. As a solo traveler you come to expect that there will be an extra cost and potentially increased inconvenience. This was not the case at the Ashlyn which offers single rooms,
The proprietors were welcoming and very pleasant, and because the House was a little quiet, gave me an upgrade to a twin room as a courtesy.
Facilities were good, and cleanliness excellent. I can also recommend the breakfast.
There is an added advantage that there is a bus stop into town immediately outside the house. I shall certainly return.

I stayed for 10 days working at Inverleith park for Walk The Walk MoonWalk breast awareness cancer charity. Long days, hard work. Each evening back to Ashlyn. I enjoyed the very friendly feel to this house. Both Lindsey and Peter made me feel welcome and made a hard working job and time away from my family so much easier. A breakfast that set me up for the day. A great good feeling. Its my 2nd time staying there I hope to be there next year. I can't recomend this guest house enough. Please stay here you will not be disappointed.
