Once found , we were very pleased to see parking - rare in Edinburgh. The rooms were well appointed , a little small, and at first extremely noisy. We were on the first floor and could hear the clomping of guests on the exposed wood stairs. The breakfast room was also very near our door and I was thinking there was to be no sleeping - but I was wrong. Somehow , magically , the noise didn't wake us - I am a very light sleeper too. Whatever the sound dynamic was in the place - I slept very comfortably and quietly. If we were going to be spending time in our rooms , I would have found the space restrictive but for a good nights rest , it was great. The only other thing I felt was a head scratcher was the bathroom mirror. Very space age, 3-D type design that completely did not go with the decor. The breakfast room was lovely and the food was very good. The hosts are happy to accommodate your every need. They had umbrellas for the rain and a very nifty call button that summoned a cab in under 10 minutes ! It's location is walkable to some things but since you could have your car on property , it's easy to drive anywhere you want to go within a few minutes. Come and stay and enjoy this cozy gem in the midst of busting Edinburgh.

The drawing room has Classic movies running on the TV with classic tunes played in the background. The dining room is elegant as are the place settings at every table; complete with lit candle. Breakfast is large gourmet and cooked to order including eggs poached, grilled, or scrambled, black pudding, haggis, sausage, potato scone, bacon, beans, ham and far more options. Specials are prepared on the weekends. This meal is so hardy you won't need lunch. Bedrooms are comfortable, clean, and beautifully appointed. The beds are as comfortable as any top tier hotel. The rooms can be blacked out for a very quiet deep long sleep. I slept better here then I have in months anywhere else. Good free high speed internet that is fast enough to stream video. Ross and Kathleen have created a charming experience that we will return to with every visit to Edinburgh.

The staff was very…read morefriendly and helpful, and David gave us a great quick explanation on the places to visit around the city, along with a handy city map. They had no problem with us checking in a bit earlier than expected. The location is a stone's throw away from the main attractions and has a nice choice of pubs and restaurants quite close (I personally recommend The Dogs, The Queens Arms and Eteaket). The bedroom was also lovely, the bed was comfortable and the boiler with tea and coffee to brew in the bedroom was a nice touch to warm our bones from the nice Edinburgh weather. There's a common living room with books and DVDs. You can take the DVDs to your room, where you have a DVD player. The breakfast was served at the next-door restaurant: Rick's, and while the food was good, the service on one of the days was a bit shabby. We had to wait a lot for our order and half of it was forgotten, the staff seemed like they were having a collective bad day. It's not the best choice if you want to grab something quickly and be on your way to explore the city. Anyway, I'd totally recommend this place and I'll definitely stay here again when going back to Edinburgh. It's very good value for money and a pleasant experience. A bit off-topic: If you love cats - like me - you'll be delighted to know Tessa has a beautiful big cat that you can sometimes spot at her office or around the reception.

The house is beautiful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the metro stop is just a short walk from the front door, and the owners, Marion and Frank are some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet...it was the perfect place to spend our 2 nights in Glasgow. There is so much to do within walking distance from Ashton, it is the perfect place for those looking to explore Glasgow. The breakfast offerings were coffee or tea, cereals and yogurt, freshly cut fruit, toast, and croissants...no eggs or other hot offerings but sometimes you just can't have everything! Our room was on the small side and Marion offered to let us switch rooms on the second night but for us it was just fine as we really weren't in it much anyways! We shared a bathroom with the room next door which can be a bit awkward at times but everyone staying was very polite and we made it work. Marion even let us park our rental car around back for our stay which we were very grateful for. One notable downside is that they don't offer wi-fi at all which, for us, was a bit of a bummer...but we made do on our phones. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Ashton Glasgow, the location and the hospitality would be very difficult to beat!

A new conservatory was added that serves as the breakfast room. The views over their gardens and the Highland Perthshire are astounding. But the most amazing aspect is the welcome we received. Louise and Struan clearly love being innkeepers and are exceptionally good at it. A cup of tea and shortbreads were immediately offered. Advice on what to visit and where to eat was comprehensive, along with maps and other aids. They seem to always have time to stop and chat and move on to handle the next task without giving you the feeling that you've been dumped. But the breakfasts! Oh my, the breakfasts! Scrambled eggs with haggis. Porridge with cream and a wee dram of Scotch. Fresh local ingredients, their own home-smoked salmon, smoothie starters with fresh fruit and a bit of porridge as a thickener. Everything was absolutely delightful. To top it off, they have a liquor license and sell two kinds of local beers and 32 different single malts. Although ranked number two in Pitlochry on Trip Advisor, there is nothing second place about this B&B. Highly recommended.

I stayed at Linksview for three nights at the end of March while on a golf trip to Scotland. First…read moreoff, let me say that the location is perfect if you want to play Carnoustie Golf Links...right across the street from the 18th fairway. I shared a room with a colleague (two single beds) and it was comfortable with all of the amenities you would expect from a Scottish B&B. Beds were comfortable, room was of a good size (not THAT large though) and the bath was excellent with good water pressure. Breakfast was hearty and well situated, in a room overlooking the golf course. Internet service was excellent and there were plenty of electrical outlets (important in this day of electronics). All in all, an excellent B&B. But wait, there's more! In setting up my golf trip, I was in constant contact with Phil, the proprietor, who was VERY helpful in booking tee times and finding out about golf. Considering the time difference, it was great to have him make the calls locally and establish the bookings. We paid for our green fees through Phil, so that made it even more simple. Phil was understanding of our needs and was very accessible. When we arrived, it was as if Phil and June (our hosts) were old friends. Now, a bit about Carnoustie. The town is not exactly brimming with the nightlife of a major metropolis (or even St. Andrews). There are a handful of restaurants and not extensive shopping. The best thing is that the town is an excellent base of operations if you want to do a day trip to Aberdeen (we played Cruden Bay) about two hours north. As mentioned, Carnoustie Championship is across the street, Carnoustie Burnside is down the street and you can find some additional great golf at Montrose Medal (twenty minutes north) and Panmure (five minutes away in Barry) so if you want to plan a few rounds in the area, Linksview is perfect. A couple things to note. The Linksview does not have any kind of common room to hang out in when not in your room. They do have a room to store golf clubs or dry your gear. Parking is easy and accessible (on street or in a lot across the street). As mentioned, Carnoustie is not an epicurean paradise....we dined at the Carnoustie Hotel and that was fine, stopped at the local pizzeria (standard) and had a fine lunch at a place called Franco's. At any rate, if you are a golfer, you can't go wrong with the Linksview Guest House. On the cost side, the room tariff was extremely fair for the season. One word of warning...the last four holes at Carnoustie are brutally difficult. They don't call it Carnasty without reason!

It was a very peaceful place considering being in the centre of Stirling. The rates were very reasonable and we were made very welcome and very comfortable during our stay. The other guests were wonderful too. We will most likely go back there again too.
