3-star family-run Victorian guesthouse in Edinburgh, with free parking and a 500m walk to Haymarket Station
Location
Ashgrove House is on the A8, one of the main routes into Edinburgh city centre, and sits 500 metres from Edinburgh Haymarket Rail Station. Regular buses from the stop two minutes away connect to Edinburgh Airport and the city centre, while Princes Street is 1.6 km away on foot. The Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Murrayfield Stadium, and the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art are all within 1 km of the guesthouse.
Accommodations
Originally built in 1868, the property is a Victorian family-run guest house with rooms that contain traditional furnishings, TVs, telephones, hairdryers, and tea/coffee making facilities. Family rooms are available, and some top-floor rooms offer views across the city rooftops. The building's narrow winding stairs connect the upper floors, so guests should note the access when booking.
Dining
A full cooked Scottish breakfast is served each morning between 9 and 10, with options that also include cereals, yoghurt, and fruit. The breakfast room overlooks a well-kept back garden, and the cooked breakfast is a full English style with eggs, sausages, and other staples. No dinner or lunch is offered on site, but the location is within a five-minute walk of local pubs and restaurants near Haymarket.
Services
Free on-site parking is available at the front of the property, and free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the guesthouse. Daily housekeeping includes replenishment of everyday items, and luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out (subject to arrangement). Security is covered by CCTV in common areas and outside the property, plus fire extinguishers and smoke alarms on each floor.
Business & Events
The Edinburgh International Conference Centre is 1 km away, making Ashgrove House a convenient base for conference attendees. Murrayfield Stadium is also 1 km from the guesthouse, and the Haymarket tram stop connects directly to the airport for early departures. The quiet environment on the A8 road offers a calm return after a day of meetings or events, with multiple bus routes to the city centre running from the doorstep.
