I found this place in my Lonely Planet guide and I am glad I did.... We stayed at Sherwood Guest House during May 2008. Booking procedure was easy and Susan was very prompt with her email responses. They also give an option to call you, and if you supply them with your query, your telephone no. and an approximate time... More

We loved staying at the Sherwood Guest House. David and Susan are wonderful, caring hosts. Our family room was exactly as described. Breakfast was fantastic - the best that we had during our vacation in England and Scotland. On Easter morning, our children (8 and 10) were thrilled to find Easter chocolates for them on our breakfast table. We felt... More

Good location to visit the city. Bus stop in front of the guest house. David and Susan are so friendly and helpful. The room was a bit small but always tidy up, bathroom clean and well furnished. But the best thing was the breakfast...lovely...food at choice. In this guest house you feel like at home!

The service was wonderful and our room and bathroom were so clean! Breakfast was so wonderful, great variety of hot and cold choices. The location was perfect. There is a laundry mat close by too. We walked to a local pub and had some delicious food.

We met up with some friends in Edinburgh and we stayed at the Sherwood. Susan and Davey were great. So helpful and understanding. The rooms are small but have every facility you could ever want. The showers are amazing and the breakfast was spectacular. The guest house is just a mile from the city center and while it was cold... More

We would recommend the Sherwood guest house following a long weekend break. We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed the freshly prepared breakfast with lots of options - David and Susan had even gone to the extra trouble of getting gluten free bread for us. The room we had (number 2) was small but well decorated and the... More

My friend and I stayed in the Sherwood by accident. We had booked a room for two nights at the B&B next door but due to a glitch, there was no vacancy on the second night. Susan and David were gracious enough to take us in and I'm so glad they did. This was one of my favourite stays in... More

A very nice place in a quiet neighborhood, but within walking distance to the city. The rates are fair and the rooms are clean and very nicely furnished. The hosts are very talented in making their guests feel welcome and it shows in a lot of pleasurable things. We enjoyed staying there a lot, thank you very much, Susan and... More
