Good location, but not if you’re driving. There is parking but it’s only useful on the weekend.

Winding hall + stairs were a little problematic, and the small room proved to be a challenge with unpacking and repacking. The hot water is HOT. Do not leave your kids with it.

Loved the dark blinds and curtains as the long June Scotland daylight would have made it difficult to sleep.

The bed was a bit stiff (not much give, and might not have been level for a decade). Maybe it’s an American expectation, but no top sheet. Just straight comforter. That means you’re either too hot or just cold.

Lovely snacks and in-room water, etc.

Could not be happier with our stay at Froach House in Edinburgh! From the moment that two rather exhausted travellers showed up on the doorstep, Dylan took us in and was exceptionally helpful.
The house is wonderful and cozy, and perfectly situated in the neighborhood to grab either bus or tram and explore the city, or find a cafe or pub and relax. We stayed on the top floor, giving us beautiful breezes and sunsets to enjoy, an extremely comfortable bed, and hot tea to make in the room.
We could not have asked for a better place to stay, nor better service from our host. A younger generation raised on only Airbnb and self check-ins will not realize how great staying in a well-run bed and breakfast is. Froach House is a 10/10.

The B&B is about a 8-10 minute walk from the tram station that runs to & from the airport (the stop closest is Balfour St). Our room was in the lowest floor (below street level), and was a good size. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine; plenty of hot water (though the water heater made a loud noise when in use). They provided a bottle of filtered water, chocolate bars, tea and instant coffee, along with a hot pot. I couldn't figure out the TV, so I didn't bother with it; it was connected to a DVD player, and there were movies to borrow upstairs. The host was very helpful in regard to getting around the town; he told us that a bus stopped right across from the house that went into the royal mile area. We had no trouble getting UBERs from there. Also, the Tram was an easy way to the port of Leith where we visited the Royal Yacht Britannia.

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

Fraoch House is a sweet place. It's older and has charm. Matthew the host was solicitous and eager to please. We had breakfast one morning and it was excellent. Our room was adequate. Lack of a plug convenient to one side of the.bed and.odd chairs that tipped over when we sat in them were drawbacks. The location was a disappointment. We didn't realize how far we were from everything. There is good bus service, but if you prefer to walk to attractions it's quite a slog. If you have a car it's no problem.

Family trip to Six Nations rugby

We couldn’t have been made more welcome. We were met with tea and shortbread on arrival and nothing was too much trouble for our host.
She was so helpful suggesting places to visit and eat.
Breakfast was excellent and she even refused payment for the second morning’s breakfast, as Scotland had won the rugby and we were there to attend the match.
When one of our party had a minor accident she was so helpful looking after her.
Would definitely recommend this hotel

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.

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 ☹️

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

Cozy B&B with excellent customer care

I stayed only one night and arrived late and left early so I never met Matthew, the owner. Nevertheless his customer care was excellent. He left me clear instructions and prepared a lovely take away breakfast for me! I really appreciated it. The room was fine for a night but the private bathroom was across the corridor which was not comfortable for me.

Great place

I had a wonderful time staying here. The check-in went well and Matthew was great. The breakfast was delicious and the B&B is about 20 minutes walk from Princes st and a bus stops just outside. The room was nice and clean. Overall it was a great stay.

Matthew and his wife were so sweet and welcoming. As soon as we came in, exhausted from traveling, they offered us coffee and cookies and explained all the sights of the city. The breakfasts were delicious and the room was clean and quite large for the UK. We would have spent more time here if we could!

Thank you! You guys are legends!

Very good location and some great touches

A 20-25 minute walk to the centre with free on street parking we found without issues. Bus stop to the city is almost at the hotel and return drop off is also nearby.
Great welcome and sit down check in with great coffee and shortbread. There were free guide books and maps. Michael explained location and places to visit. Some guide books were only in a couple of European languages which was strange.
The room was ok but needs some TLC. A broken chair, window that can’t be left open as well as lack of a full length mirror - al of these could be fixed easily with very little effort. Good coffee and tea with chocolate wafers.
Room is very noisy facing the road, bird life also was active which made it really difficult to sleep.
Great breakfast and it’s Served from 8-10 which is good. Service was good but staff struggled and we got to order cooked breakfast quite late and by the time we finished it was 10:20 but a staff member had started eating breakfast.

All in all a good place, but some work to do before getting to a five star.

Making my stay most pleasant was their priority. The location was convenient to bus service but also very walkable to city centre. I would recommend to visitors.

Excellent breakfast and friendly staff! We enjoyed the location and our room was very cute and stylish! The bathroom could've used a deep clean (at least in regard to the floor and the bottom of the door). Complimentary water was provided, which is very nice, but the bottle was visibly dirty at the seal so we didn't drink it. Regardless, we would stay at this location again and we found it very charming!

The property was in a great location for the town centre, restaurants etc.
We only stayed for one night in a double room on top floor. It was well presented and very clean. The breakfast room, the service, the food and decor was excellent, the attention to detail was first class. The new owners since Sept 19 are working hard to maintain and improve the top rating this property already has. I can see they are doing the right things, and I will look forward to staying their again.

Really nice little inn that is a sort bus ride away from the main city centre. Matthew is really helpful, and a very good host. Loved that I had my own little room and a private bathroom across the hall.

Quiet and Cozy in Edinburgh

Two nights here. Just a bus ride or a short walk to Royal Mile and all the tourist places, but nicely out of all that. The young couple that runs the house were lovely and accommodating in every way. Warm and cozy room with nice en-suite. Delicious breakfast. Recommend highly.

Breakfast : 5.0/5.0 There was buffet of toast, cereal, jam, and fruit. But also the cooked breakfast had 5 options(Scottish full, Bagels and Salmon, Vegetarian full breakfast, Potato waffles, eggs etc). I had scottish full and it was really good and portion was a lot. Bagel and salmon with fried eggs was also really good. I wish I had more days to have their breakfast. Coffee(French Pressed) was available any time of the day, and the room kettle with coffee and tea was more than enough.

Location: was a bit of walk from center (20mins), but the neighbourhood was nice and it was good to get to Edinburgh center and also Leith. Quiet neighbourhood and Tesco and Sainbury store nearby.

Staff:5.0/5.0. very friendly and helpful and very gentle. Was always attentive and tried to help in every way with a smile. When I asked question about available lockers in the city, he looked up online for us. He asked what I needed like coffee or tea or anything whenver I went downstairs. Amazing staff. And their cook was also amazing.

Room: Stayed in a standard double room and the bed was big and comfy. Shower was spacious and had always hot water. Many towels of different size. DVD player worked wonderfully, so every night we watched DVD from their collection. Very clean and the toiletries were good also. Room smells nice, the curtains blocked the sun COMPLETEY, so had a really good sleep. Didnt hear noise from other rooms. Nice selection of coffee,tea, condiments and small snacks.
