Really enjoyed my stay at the Ascot Guest House, the hosts were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. My room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and the breakfast well above average. There was no problem parking either in the car park or free parking on the street across the road (rare in Edinburgh). Very convenient for city centre, would certainly stay there again.

On arrival we were shown up a very nice staircase to a huge, high ceilinged bedroom. In the corner was a very odd shower/toilet arrangement and the basin was in the bedroom itself. It is a shame that a little more thought and money had not been put into the bathroom arrangements as they were bizarre to say the least. However, the room was clean with two double beds and two small sofas. The breakfast was good and the position was handy for the buses into the city centre.

This is the place you should be staying if you are looking for good location and value,rather than luxuries,but saying that i have to add that it is kept spotlesly clean,you get everything you need in rooms-clean towels,kettle,heaps of information about local places,we had a little tv and even though room wasn't very big we had enough storage.Hosts are realy friendly and are there to help
For breakfast you get your usual tea or coffee and toast plus you help yourself to what there is on the table in dining room-cereals,fresh juice,yogarts,fresh fruit,jams and a lot of teacakes.And ofcoures you can choose cooked breakfast too
Things that i didn't like were firstly shared facilities.There's a quite spacious bathroom on the first floor,but shower on the second floor is something else.This is a smallest shower ever.I found it very difficult to use (and i am only size 10).The other thing that my partner found frustrating was the lack of parking space.There's only space for 3 cars in front of guest house and 6 or so rooms,so most of the times we had to park on the street outside
Location of the house is great it's close to city centre.It's few minute drive,or there's a bus stop right on the doorstep,or i believe you even can walk down the road it's not very far.
The City itself is spectacular i am still under the spell of it.Beautifull beautifull place

I visit and work in Scotland doing Heritage Tourism Planning and have visited Scotland twice a year for 15 + years. My first visit to Scotland friends booked me at the Ascot Guest House and I have been staying there ever since. It is my "home away from home" when I am working in Scotland. There is more to a B&B than the room - and John and Julie really make you feel at home. Some B&B's may be fancier (and more expensive) but none will be friendlier, more comfortable and reliable. I give them 5 stars for customer care.
