“Fraoch House struck me as a place where genuine hospitality thrives, moments away from Leith's bustle and a short ride from Edinburgh's center. The devotion to a homemade Scottish breakfast each morning-not to mention the warm welcome of tea and shortbread-speaks volumes about the care taken here. It's the kind of place I'd recommend to anyone seeking a personal touch amidst Edinburgh's grand offerings.”
