Sherwood Guest House

I absolutely loved my stay at Sherwood Guest house. The host is a beautiful representative of Scottish hospitality - she was kind in chatting with us, giving us recommendations, being genuinely caring as well as provided a whole binder of tips and ideas for our stay. Highly recommend - great location also.

Just be prepared for a very small room. Everything else is perfect: Vivienne is a great host, the breakfast is very generous, and the location is very convenient (bus connectivity is very good and it is a quiet neighbourhood). The room and furnishings were fine as well, except for the size of the room (which wouldn't stop me from going back; it's just good to be prepared...)

Sherwood Guest House was absolutely perfect for a visit to Edinburgh. My husband and I stayed 4 nights, most comfortable beds ever, rested and slept well, it was SO QUIET♥️. Our room was very roomy and straightened everyday. Vivienne was so welcoming and very helpful, beginning with advising us not rent a car while in Edinburgh, not easy parking. We were SO GLAD we listened to her. Bus Stop was right outside and so easy. We took the train to Stirling Castle. Walking to the Royal Mile was about 20min, we cut through a lovely park! Breakfast was in the most charming room and was a delicious continental style. I would recommend making dinner reservations for the first night, we made ours at the Old Bell Inn. It was right around the corner from Sherwood House, SO DELIGHTFULLY and the best Meat and Ale Pie!!! We would definitely stay at Vivienne’s Sherwood Guest House again!!!!

Great Guest House... the three of us will definitely stay here again. The owner, Vivienne, was lovely and couldn't be more helpful. The rooms were comfy and clean with everything you might need... straight walk up from the Royal Mile, so easy to find.

What a wonderful way to start our adventure through Scotland! Such a cozy and lovely spot, with a bus stop right outside the door, making the whole city so readily accessible. Vivienne is an utter delight; very knowledgeable about the area, so very affable, and she has a laugh that will light up your day. Stay here if you want to feel like you’re at home… I literally started calling it home after our first night. Thank you Vivienne, I really hope we can stay in touch! Love Michael and Danielle.

Very nice guest house well driven by its kind and friendly owner, Vivienne :) We choosed a 3pers. familiy room and it's worth its four stars. The bus station is really close to the property, just buy one day ticket and you'll be on your own

This is a lovely and inviting guest house. Our room was lovely, clean and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was a perfect start to the day. The location was perfect. Very quiet. I would highly recommend this guest house.

My mother and I LOVED our stay at Sherwood Guest House. Vivienne was the perfect host: unobtrusive and kind but helpful with recs and tips when we asked for them. Our room was tidy and had enough space for the two of us, and the breakfast provided us just what we needed to fuel a day of adventuring around Edinburgh. The neighborhood is a great launching point to easily walk or bus into the City Centre. We appreciated the charm of the neighborhood restaurants and shops.

Gem in Edinburgh. "This is like home away from home. I have high praises for this B&B. Once I made the reservations, the host contacted me to provide information on how to get to her property from the airport. Upon arrival I found her to be very personable, outgoing and accommodating. She happily shared invaluable suggestions for where to eat, local sites to see, and other places in Scotland that may be of interest. I would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone visiting the Edinburgh area."

Had a great weekend stay. The owners are friendly and warm, the accommodations were comfortable, and the location is good. Just a 20 min walk to the old town or take a quick bus ride. There is a bus stop that is very close with many buses heading towards the city centre. Will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Edinburgh!

This place has Scottish tourist board 4 stars and is Ideal for , short breaks. It's near the University campus and thus perfect for parents visiting first yr. students. Full Scottish Breakfast and by the crags.

its just lovely, and well placed for the city. We had a great stay and would highly recommend others to seek this hidden gem.
