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.

Edinburghs hidden gem

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.

Lovely relaxed stay

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

Clean comfortable relaxed stay

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 

Lovely B&B just outside of the centre. 

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. 

Lovely place 

I can thoroughly recommmed Fraoch house and it's very friendly host Matthew. The room was spotless, the bed very comfortable, lovely bathroom and tea and coffee much appreciated. Matthew was very welcoming and helpful. He accomodated our late arrival with no difficulties and was able to provide information about travel. The breakfasts were superb and very good value. The location with bus stop for the city centre close by is excellent.
We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.


Great Stay

Was a quiet hotel. It's basically in Leith. The twin room is very small and has a separate bathroom which you have to lock and unlock. The room is at the top of two stairs. Place is clean and well looked after. Not much choice of food and breakfasts outside in Leith 

Nice but pokey

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.

The single best place to stay in Edinburgh, if not the whole UK!

Great welcome by Garth who looked after us well, recognized my birthday with a liquid gift ! Clean warm great breakfasts. Hope the Covid-19 doesn’t do too much damage to the economy. Many thanks. George and Maureen

Visiting daughter

I booked into this B&B when we stayed in Edinburgh, I was very overwhelmed, I was greeted by the owner who was very polite and nice, explained about Edinburgh gave us a map was very helpful. When then checked into our room, we found it was really clean and tidy. It had a peaceful feel to it.  Breakfast was excellent. 

There was a day when we had to go on excursion and wouldn't make breakfast, we explained he made us a pack up with a note in the morning saying hope you have a nice day. This was supposed to be breakfast, but he supplied us with breakfast and lunch for the entire day. What a really nice guy. 

On the last day we had to catch the train, as we were the unfortunate people that were effected by the Flybe collapse. I said we need to leave the hotel at 8.20 and he immediately done are full English breakfast in time and checked us out so we were out the door for 8.20.

This B&B is a lovely and friendly B&B I would highly recommend. If I came back to Edinburgh I would stay here again.
