Fraoch House was wonderful. The accommodations were excellent, situated in a lovely neighborhood conveniently situated a brief bus ride from Old Town Edinburgh. Would most certainly recommend.

Staff were very nice and extremely helpful. Great location to hop on the bus and travel to locations if you choose not to walk. The room was clean, slept in comfortable beds and the pillows were comfortable too. We highly recommend Fraoch House to stay while in Edinburgh.

This was a quaint establishment - a cross between an AB&B and hotel It had a shared fridge , little dining area and very friendly staff to help us up the stairs with our luggage , borrow us an extra converter and charger and provide assistance on so many other levels ! Rooms were clean and provided coffee, toiletries and a closet to hang a few things . I would highly recommend them !!

Very enjoyable stay; excellent room & facilities, well treated & close to all Leith has to offer while the city centre is a no. 11 bus ride away, a fiver day pass getting you the tram as well. Worth the £12 for breakfast, lots of alternatives within walking distance but what you get is worth the cost!

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay, mathew the owner was so helpful regarding buses etc. The bus stop to princess street is directly outside the hotel. My only criticism and its a more personal one is being type 1 diabetic there was no alternatives to sugar in hot drinks at breakfast or in the room, bathroom window couldnt be opened, like i say very small gripes. Other than that me and my mam had a fantastic stay, breakfast was beautiful and the room was lovely and spacious. Would definitely recommended this B&B

We had a lovely stay at Fraoch House. The room was spacious, clean and staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Sophie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place for a great price. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, the room was clean, sizable and well equipped, and the location while a bit far from the city center was directly across from a bus stop into the city. Breakfast was also standout, and I’d recommend getting it as the nearby cafes are mediocre at best.

Fraoch House was an incredibly welcoming stay. Matthew was nothing but helpful from before to after my stay. I want to come back to Edinburgh just to stay here again!
Vivian, 1-night trip

What a hidden gem
Check in was the best I've ever had! Tea or coffee with shortbread in the front room, Matthew went through all the details and gave some great info of the area, helped with bus times too. The accomodation is stunning, beautifully decorated, comfortable bed, quiet, lots of extras too. Nice to see some eco refills for bathroom shampoo/soap etc.

Amazing stay here. Was greeted by the nicest host. My room was more spacious than expected. Everything was clean. I would certainly stay here again.
Steven, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really happy with our stay here. Cost about £12 in a taxi from Waverley Station. Warm welcome from the host who offered us a cup of tea on arrival. Room had plenty of space for clothes and storage and a spacious bathroom with comfy bed. Great for the bus into town or a 20 minute walk which we preferred. Would happily stay here again!

Excellent Experience!
I had a great stay at Fraoch House! Comfortable and very clean room! Very friendly and helpful staff! Great location, quiet neighborhood but with many amenities nearby. Short distance from the center on foot, but there is also a bus line that stops in front of the hotel. Excellent value for money!
