Ashcroft Farmhouse is an excellent friendly and professionally run Bed and Breakfast guest house in East Calder - a village just 10 miles west of Edinburgh City Centre.

It is a modern house which has been specially designed and built so that all the guest rooms, including the six en-suite bedrooms are on one level. The rooms are quiet and light and tastefully decorated, and each is named after one of Scotland's championship golf courses.

Derek has won an award for the lovely landscaped garden which is much enjoyed and appreciated by visitors to Ashcroft.

Elizabeth and Derek Scott offer a very warm welcome and greatly enjoy their guests. They have been extending the same friendly Scottish hospitality for over 45 years, and, whether on business or for pleasure, their guests return time and again.

Elizabeth was placed in the top 5 in the AA Landlady of the Year 2004 - out of nearly 4000 establishments, and runner-up AA Landlady of the Year 2005!
