Fraoch House

The host was friendly, knew a lot about the location so gave us a few places to visit. There were free biscuits and mints always accessible. Place was quaint and cozy and not too far from the tram stations to the centre.

We stayed at Fraoch house for 3 nights in April. Matthew was welcoming - and especially helpful when our flight from England was delayed and we didn't know if we'd get there before midnight! Kept in email contact and we did make it at 10.00pm. We had a spacious, comfortable warm room in the basement with a lovely large en suite shower room. Breakfast was great and superbly cooked by Matthew! Very convenient for trams and buses into town and into Leith. Some great local eating places for evenings and a friendly pub. would definitely stay with Matthew again.

A very relaxed comfortable stay Warm welcome by Mathew with tea and shortbread Room very clean and well kempt and appointed Comfortable bed good fresh linen Good quality organic instant coffee on tea tray 11 bus stops right outside short ride into centre Parking on street free weekends may be difficult in the week as paid and max few hours stay Breakfast is extra and not included however you book they recommend local cafes close by Or £12 pp in house yoghurt &berries and cooked breakfast , tea coffee and juice . Mathew cooks it fresh on his own quite a long wait but what we had was good quality and well cooked and presented with care . Would definitely stay again may not have breakfast next time if good weather

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.

Nice B&B for a weekend away in Edinburgh. Good location, about a 15 / 20 minute walk into the centre, which is easily doable for most. We found street parking right outside, but it's only free at the weekends, otherwise it's permit holder or 4 hours minimum. We had one of the basement rooms which was nice and clean. Our host was very welcoming and showed us the area. Only downfalls were that the bed was really creaky, it made too much noise if you moved slightly. And the floor was too slippery, it was like it had been polished. But that is really the only cons. Would highly recommend if you're looking for something cheaper than central Edinburgh and are happy with a short walk. There are also some lovely hidden restaurants in the area we stumbled upon a really lovely pizza place. Would recommend taking a look around for places to it also. Would certainly return and recommend

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!

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!

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 and offered to help with our bags. We were shown to a lovely warm room downstairs which had a private little garden. Plenty of storage for bags and clothes and a spacious bathroom. The room also had fresh water with tea and coffee making facilties. There is a bus stop opposite where the number 11 takes you straight to Princes Street. We walked most of the time as it was only 20 minutes into town. Would happily recommend and stay again.

Matthew is an absolute treasure! Offered us a cuppa on check in and later when we picked up our bags. The room (#8) is simply the nicest and most comfortable we have ever stayed in. (Stayed in 2019 and have made a point of returning because it was that good!). Spacious, clean, well stocked with amenities and beyond comfortable bedding. The sofa was a perfect addition to relax after a long day out. Heating in the room was more than adequate and easily controlled. Quiet and peaceful on a perfectly located street with bus access into town and Ocean Terminal. The WiFi was great, despite being below ground, we never had a problem with it! Generously sized wardrobe and drawer unit for items. The shower was amazing, stunning water pressure! Honestly the best place in the UK to stay when going away and our absolute number 1 choice whenever we are visiting Edinburgh. Only ever stayed elsewhere if Fraoch isn't available or we have the dog. Only possible downside is we couldn't bring her.
