    Lovely guest host in a convenient location with an accommodating host.

    Facilities could probably be upgraded and rooms refreshed. We had some mold on our bathroom ceiling, likely from years of water/steam and age. Beds were quite creaky as well.

    The host was very accommodating during our stay. The location was quite convenient, about a 15-20 minute walk into the main parts of Edinburgh, i.e. Old Town/New Town, and a 15 minute walk to Leith. With the distance, it was away from the hustle and bustle which was nice to relax after a big day of sightseeing and walking. The room was clean and they make your room everyday. We did not get breakfast during our stay but there are so many cafes and shops nearby which was good. There were nice homely touches, upon arrival you are offered cookies/tea, and there are complimentary cookies/snacks at the door. It is overall quite homely in a convenient location. We also felt safe in the area as well.

    The bed was very squeaky. We were woken up every time one of us turned over (room 5)

    Froach House was lovely, Matthew was friendly and welcoming. The bedroom was lovely and comfortable. Good shower, good location with easy buses to town and lots of places to eat and drink nearby.

    Breakfast is available on request but we were directed to local cafes which made us feel they didn't really want to provide it. A good breakfast offer would enhance the stay.

    Great base for visiting Edinburgh, nearby buses or trams give easy access to the city centre. We were given a lovely welcome from Matthew. The room was roomy, quiet and comfortable.

    Not a big fan of the bed but that might be a personal preference :) Was quite hot at night so fan in the room might be an idea.

    Came to stay for the weekend. Room was nice and clean. Bathroom nicely furnished. The host was responsive and accommodating :)

    Loved staying at Fraoch House - a great location, and the room itself was just lovely. Matthew also included a few extra touches as we were celebrating a special occasion while we were visiting. We are really happy that we chose to stay at Fraoch House and would not hesitate to book in again in the future.

    The room was smaller than it looked in photos, which was a surprise and the bed is very hard. Our room got a lot of light so even with curtains I would recommend a sleeping mask.

    We had a great stay at the Froach House. There's a bus that literally drops off and picks up at the door. The location is amazing and close to everything, but the street was still quiet. Breakfast is offered for a reasonable fee, but you do have to tell them in advance. Very charming building.

    The hooks not attached on the massive drapery - It was very sunny in that space- we needed the drapes

    Our room was quite large and very clean. There was more furniture and shelves available to put our things, which was a nice change! Quiet space, and comfortable.

    Nothing, it was as advertised and exactly what I needed.

    As advertised, great location, very walkable (20-30 to old town, 20-30 to Leith), easy access to public transport. Lots of restaurants and things to do in the area. Clean and comfortable, host was fantastic and attentive. Easy to find and easy access to building. Would stay again without hesitation.

    Fraoch House is a lovely, good value stay in Leith, a very good, lively and interesting part of Edinburgh. The room was comfortable. It was clean. Plenty of space. Good wardrobe and storage space. Very good shower. There is breakfast if you request it. It feels like they encourage you to go out! But many excellent choices within 5 to 10 minutes walk. Check out Coco Rico and don't be put off by the "industrial site" location. Excellent food. It would be worth clarifying payment dates with Matthew so that he doesn't try to take your payment earlier than Booking.com led you to believe. Having said that, he was so good to communicate with. Not really a problem.
