Fraoch House

Clean, nice room with enough space, good bed, spaceous new bathroom with good shower. Breakfast optional, very recommendable, well done! Prices are steep but they're not the only ones. Bus 11 just across the road for Princes street, or towards Leith.

Great location. Comfortable and clean. The beds were very comfortable. The host Matthew was very kind and helpful as were the other members of his staff. The only downside was the street pavements...they were very uneven and difficult to negotiate, especially in wet weather and scattered with litter, which was no reflection on the guesthouse, just the local council. I would stay there again though.

Best check in I've ever had, tea and shortbread in the front room whilst Matthew goes through all the useful things to know , super helpful with bus times, catch the number 11 right opposite, takes you to the city centre and to Leith, mind you it's only a 25 minute walk to the town. It was beautifully decorated, gorgeous comfy bed and best shower ever with nice refills of shampoo/hand soap etc. Never had such fluffy towels. Nice to have the tea/coffee and water in the room with the added extra choccy bar! A very quiet street so a peaceful night's sleep. Definitely one to use again.

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.

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

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.
