Fraoch House

The staff member was so very welcoming and friendly. I couldn’t believe it when I was greeted with a cafitiere of coffee and shortbread on arrival. He really couldn’t have been nicer. The breakfast was also really lovely with an array of fresh fruit and choice of cooked breakfast dishes. Don’t hesitate to books in here.

The room was very clean and spacious and good value for money. Breakfast was also lovely, with a good variety of options.

Our room was situated in the basement so we didn't have a good view as such but the room was spacious and clean.

Fraoch Guest House proved to be an excellent choice for us when we stayed there for our weekend break. Communication with Matthew prior to our arrival (via email, text and phone call) was immediate, informative, clear and helpful. Matthew is an excellent host in terms of his friendly, personable character and his willingness to assist us wherever he could. After informing Matthew why we were in Edinburgh, he kindly provided us with a nice surprise to our room. Thoughtful touches like these go a long way to enhancing your stay at a place. The en-suite double bedroom which we stayed in, had all the facilities you would expect and all of which were tidy and clean. I looked forward to the breakfast having read about it from various reviews. We weren’t disappointed either. It was very nice to be presented with a variety of cereals and fresh fruit to choose from such as pineapple, raspberries and blueberries. I opted for a full Breakfast while my wife chose to have 2 poached eggs which we were both very happy with. This was served by a very friendly waitress who was also extremely accommodating to our needs. Location wise, the property is situated only a brisk 25 minute walk away from Prince Street. There is also a bus stop directly outside the guest house which runs every 10 min’s (to my knowledge) to Princess Street however we never used it as the walk was more enjoyable to us. Overall, a very pleasant and memorable stay at Fraoch Guest House which hopefully we’ll be returning to in the future.

Nothing I can recall.
