When I told her I was writing this review, my wife said to write that this was her favorite in Scotland. We were in Scotland a week, stayed at may fine places, but this was her favorite. I liked it very well myself. Off-street parking, large, clean rooms with attached baths, The owners were very kind and cheerful, and gave... More

From the moment my partner and I walked in we were made to feel so welcome! The place was spotless and very comfortable. All of the essentials, and more, were provided in the room; and the breakfast was generous and tasty! Only a 20 min walk to The Royal Mile, we couldn't have wished for a better guest house! Thank...

This was our 3rd stay at this Guest House, and it did not disappoint. We stayed for 4 nights over the Rugby weekend the same as we have in the past. Susan & David are great hosts and nothing is too much trouble. This was the first time we had stayed with a continental breakfast and we were not sure... More

The Guest house is very warm, very clean and excellent room facilities. Would stay again. Basic breakfast so don't expect a full cooked breakfast because this will not happen but I would recommend this place without a doubt. Not far to Princes Street about 10 mins stroll and you must visit John Leslie pub round the corner its an amazing... More

A group of friends and I recently headed to Edinburgh for Hogmanay and when some of our accommodation fell through at other hotels the sherwood guest house were more than accommodating when we asked if we could have a few extra people in the room! Initially we thought the room was going to be quite small but were pleasantly surprised... More

David and Susan were friendly and very accommodating right from the minute we walked in with an extra person right up until they made us a late breakfast and called a cab to take us to the bus station. I would recommend Sherwood Guest House to anybody. Thank you both for making our stay in Edinburgh for Hogmanay this year... More

Our room was next to the kitchen but at no time were we disturbed by any sounds or smells emanating from the kitchen, The room was spotlessly clean and very well equipped .The ensuite bathroom was more than adequate and well stocked with good quality essentials.The breakfast is superb with a great...

We arrived from Amsterdam to Sherwood in a taxi and were greeted at the door by Sue. She was putting brand-new carpet in and was apologizing for the state of the foyer, but really, it looked beautiful even with the carpet being taken up! The new carpet, in place the next day, really looks great. We were each given a... More
