Perfect spot for getting round the city with the no. 11 bus right outside! Room spacious and kept in the best possible condition. Have to pay extra for breakfast but worth it, however plenty of choices close by.

Warm, clean and spacious room. Waited late for us to check in.
Although we only had a short stay we were very impressed, the staff were very helpful and welcoming and the room we stayed in was very comfortable and stylish.
We enjoyed our stay and were able to walk to most of the Edinburgh highlights and also had the option of easy public transit. The room was extremely comfortable and the staff was very accommodating.
Compact unit, not very roomy but clean, good to stay a few days for 2 people.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
25 minute walk to city, plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby.
Bus stops outside property (bus # 11) from the city and bustop to city is across the road.
5 minute walk to tram which will take you to the airport.
Good location, well worth staying.
Spacious room, comfortable beds and modern en suite. The fan already in the room was especially welcomed during the warm spell. Excellent breakfast! On bus lines into the city center. Very helpful staff.
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.
The Fraoch House is a very quaint house. The bedroom and bathroom was was clean. I took a star off because the property is a little dated overall. But I was very happy with the proximity to the royal mile and convenience overall.
Fraoch House was an incredibly welcoming stay. Matthew was nothing but helpful from before to after my stay. I want to come back to Edinburgh just to stay here again!
Fraoch House was wonderful. The accommodations were excellent, situated in a lovely neighborhood conveniently situated a brief bus ride from Old Town Edinburgh. Would most certainly recommend.
Staff were very nice and extremely helpful. Great location to hop on the bus and travel to locations if you choose not to walk. The room was clean, slept in comfortable beds and the pillows were comfortable too. We highly recommend Fraoch House to stay while in Edinburgh.
Very enjoyable stay; excellent room & facilities, well treated & close to all Leith has to offer while the city centre is a no. 11 bus ride away, a fiver day pass getting you the tram as well. Worth the £12 for breakfast, lots of alternatives within walking distance but what you get is worth the cost!
Room was very cute, and the bathroom was spacious! Breakfast was delicious with wonderful fresh fruit, yogurt, salmon, eggs. Service was wonderful, and they were very friendly. Would highly recommend!
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.
