Sherwood Guest House - Scotland in Edinburgh, City of

We were gleefully welcomed by our proprietor, Vivienne at 11pm, well past her normal check-in time. That was a delight in itself! She has lived in Edinburgh her whole life so she is a wealth of information regarding things to do, places to go and sites to see. Truthfully, you can't do Edinburgh wrong. It is a lovely lovely city. We were within walking distance of the Royal Mile and enjoyed the 15-20 minute stroll into the heart of the city. Our rooms were spotless and quiet. Breakfast was divine and Vivienne is every bit as warm and friendly in the morning as she is late in the evening! The whole experience was a 10! Thankyou Vivienne!!

Alla Shervood Guest House abbiamo trovato un ambiente pulito ed accogliente. Purtroppo la nostra era l'unica camera priva di bagno ed era molto molto piccola, anche se carina. Il bagno era comunque di nostro uso esclusivo, ma all'esterno della stanza.La proprietaria è una signora cordiale che ci ha offerto molti buoni consigli su cosa vedere e soprattutto su dove mangiare del buon cibo.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at The Sherwood Guest House from the minute we stepped through the door. The decor was inviting and so was Viven, the owner of the guest house. She greeted us with a huge smile and insisted on carrying our large lugguage up a flight of stairs to our room. The Sherwood is in an excellent location, near several bus lines that take you into the center of the town. It is so centeraly located that you can walk into town or site see everywhere, (if you are a walker).As orthodox Jews, The Sherwood is exvellently located near a synagogue and near Chabad, and not too far from a supermarket that sells some kosher products.Our room had everything we needed, a nice size comfortable bed, microwave, and warmer for towels in the bathroom.The breakfast was also served. Though we couldn't eat the food, it looked lovely. We only eat kosher, so Vivian was very accommodating. We were able to have fruits and vegetables and kosher bread.As you can see, we highly recommend vivian and her guest house, The Sherwood Guest House. Isaac and Ruth

Giudizio assolutamente positivo. Posizione poco fuori dal centro (minuti 10/15 a piedi) autobus di fornte al posto, colazione ottima, Vivienne piena di consigli (utilissimi) e di suggerimento di viaggio (altrettanto utili). Stanze pulite, un po' piccole ma con tutto quello che serve. Per me la miglior scelta possibile per Edimburgo. Consiglio assolutamente.

Te sentiras como en tu propia casa gracias a Vivienne,que es la propietaria, ella te informa de todo lo que necesitas para moverte por la ciudad y de lo que hacer en Edimburgo. es una casa limpia comfortable y muy bien decorada, las camas y almohadas son muy comodas y el desayuno muy completo y de buena calidad. Esta situado a unos 15 min. caminando del centro y 20 min. de Waberly Station , que es donde para el bus del aeropuerto ( Airlink 100). Edimburgo es una ciudad cara y el Sherwood Guest House tiene una relación calidad-precio excelente.

Vivian has taken over this B&B since we last were here and she has continued to keep it pristine. The breakfast was great and she even put together a breakfast to go when we had to leave for an early flight. We had a wonderful stay.

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 key, very useful when people might want to split up, and shown around. The breakfast room is gorgeous, with a computer with free Internet access available to guests. The rooms themselves are luxurious, and everything looks new. The bathroom was the best-stocked I have ever seen, with plenty of huge towels, soaps, shampoos and lotions, and even cotton balls and cotton swabs. Everything is thought of. The shower is completely modern and lovely. Again, it looks brand-new.Breakfast was perfection. We were given coffee and tea that was served very hot, and there was a large variety of food: fruit, yogurt, milk, cereal, rolls, cakes and muffins, meat and cheese, juices, boiled eggs, and oat cakes. I am probably forgetting something. There was every kind of food you could want. The location is wonderful. The street, if you walk 20 minutes towards town, intersects with the Royal Mile. There you will also find tour buses departing, city buses, and all kinds of shops on the way there. There are excellent restaurants nearby. There is a bus stop steps away from the front door. One can buy an all-day ride ticket for city buses from the driver. Sue answered our questions about buses, etc. All this, but it was dead quiet at night. Each room also has a TV and when we turned it on, Stephen Fry was right there! It was exactly what I hoped for. :-) In addition, in the cupboard were cups and everything you'd need to make coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, plus biscuits. There was a small fridge and microwave too. We had free Internet using our own laptop.I feel like we got a deal that can't be beaten. I would have paid twice the price for what we got. It made Edinburgh even more lovely.
