This was a quaint establishment - a cross between an AB&B and hotel It had a shared fridge , little dining area and very friendly staff to help us up the stairs with our luggage , borrow us an extra converter and charger and provide assistance on so many other levels ! Rooms were clean and provided coffee, toiletries and a closet to hang a few things . I would highly recommend them !!

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

What a hidden gem

Check in was the best I've ever had! Tea or coffee with shortbread in the front room, Matthew went through all the details and gave some great info of the area, helped with bus times too. The accomodation is stunning, beautifully decorated, comfortable bed, quiet, lots of extras too. Nice to see some eco refills for bathroom shampoo/soap etc.

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.

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!

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

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!
