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.

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!

A beautiful house that retains many of its original features. A tremendous host who did his best to accommodate all our requests. A superb breakfast aswell. And convenient for Leith and Edinburgh, very much recommended.

The house was a very pleasant place with a friendly but unobtrusive staff. We were welcomed with tea and biscuits in the cozy sitting room and then pretty much given the run of the place. We had a key to our room and to the front door so we came and went as we pleased. The only negative thing was that they ran out of hot water one morning. Brrrr. I would definitely stay there again.

On reading previous reviews, I thought I would give 'Fraoch House' a try. As it was my first ever visit to Edinburgh, I was presently surprised by the lovely Coffee and shortbread welcoming both my wife and I received on our arrival. The personable welcome we received was perfect and we were assisted in every aspect of our visit with our queries on local amenities etc. The Breakfast was sumptuous, the room was very comfortable but needs a small bit of tlc in places and the property is conveniently located near to buses and trams etc. If I return to Edinburgh again it will definitely be to 'Fraoch House'. Thank you to the excellent Staff for all their help and friendliness.

Disappointed!
We were unable to stay at Fraoch House as our car broke down on the way up to Edinburgh due to no fault of our own.As soon as we realised we would not be able to get to Edinburgh I called Fraoch to explain the situation.Unfortunately the owner did not offer any refund which was extremely disappointing under the circumstances and added to our distress.It would have been good if we had at least been offered a credit note to use in the future :(

Cold clinical room but not so clean
We had to ring the bell 3 times before entry and the whole hotel was in need of an upgrade the wooden toilet seat was split the curtains hanging from rail. The tv was in front of the dresser mirror instead of hung on the wall.the room was cold in evening as no heating on I went and knocked door but no reply . Though there was heating in hallway. I personally think it needs a woman’s touch as no pictures in room or anything to give it warmth, also one of the decorative cushion was split all down one side. We had to leave after one night, we were sent a voucher to go back but never would. Very disappointed ☹️

Brilliant stay at Fraoch House
Greeted by Matthew with offer of tea or coffee on arrival. All staff were really helpful & friendly. The room (standard double) was spacious & clean, bed & pillows very comfortable, shower hot & reliable. Breakfast was great, cereal, yogurts, fruit cruets, croissants & a choice of hot meals including full Scottish, all very tasty. Will be back again!

We'll be back
A very nice stay and given that our daughter is at university in Edinburgh, I'm sure we shall be back. Even if she weren't, we would choose it agaiin if we were to visit Edinburgh. A very comfortable room; a clean and wel equipped en-suite. The television incorporated a DVD player and there was a very good selection of DVD covering all tastes from Art House to multiplex. The breakfast copuldn't be faulted. Overall, a definite 5 stars. I dropped one star from a category because the bulb in the light above the key safe by the entrance door had gone, which made it a little difficult to read the numbers

pleasantly surprised and very nice indeed
This hotel is very clean, well presented and recently decorated. The room amenities are above what I expected and there is free speedy Wi-fi. It is located close to the centre of Edinburgh with easy access to restaurants and nightlife. An excellent breakfast was served in a very nice dining room with a range of cooked breakfasts and cereals. I am going to stay here again.
