We often stay in B&B's while travelling, so have a pretty good frame of reference. Fraoch House was one of the best we have visited to date. From the warm hospitality shown by Gareth, the amazing breakfasts, the luxurious comfortable bed and the great location - we were thrilled with our choice. Should we find ourselves visiting Edinburgh again, we... More

B&Bs have changed a lot since I used them 35 years ago. No longer is it just a room in someone's house (in most cases). Gareth and his Mum have excelled in setting Fraoch House up - the rooms are spacious, clean and have those B & B touches of bikkies and treats. We had the ground floor room at... More

We visited Edinburgh for hogmany so we spent 4 nights at the froach house. Coming from the U.S. we weren't expecting the level of service that we got. We were greater at the door and shown to our room. The room was a good size and the bedding was very soft, we slept great. The bath towels were large and... More

We spent 2 nights at Fraoch house in December 2011. It's a really cosy B&B in an excellent location, just a short walk from the centre of Edinburgh (but well placed for bus routes if you don't want to walk). It's comfortable and welcoming place to recover from exploring the city and the breakfasts are excellent. Would be more than... More

Our first visit to Edinburgh was just about perfect, thanks in no small part to Gareth's hospitality (and his mom's hospitality) at Fraoch House. The breakfasts were terrific, the location was great, and the room was clean and comfortable. ... On our departure day, we had an early bus to catch, so Heather provided us with fruit, yogurt and juice.... More

We got there early in the morning and we were greeted warmly and the host actually knew our name! Pleasantly surprised and delighted by every little detail of this bead and breakfast. Very very happy with this place! More

We have just returned from a short city break and chose Fraoch House for its location, easy street parking and the amazing reviews. We had booked tickets for the Playhouse so wished to be that side of Edinburgh and were pleased to find that it was about a 10-15 walk away. The next day we visited the Royal Yacht which... More

we came to Edinburgh early December to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary, we chose Fraoch House from Tripadvisor reviews and we were not disappointed. It was icy and very very cold. But our room was comfortably warm without being too hot. Well appointed, clean and comfortable. We had room 9 which opens out diretly onto garden, altho too cold to... More

After a pleasant train journey from London, it was wonderful to emerge from Waverly Station onto the early evening bustle in the heart of the city. After a few moments I got my directions and set off, skirting across Princes Street where an enthusiastic piper filled the air, and along the Leith Walk. It took around 15 minutes to arrive... More
