Nothing to fault.

Lovely welcoming host and beautifully presented property. Felt like I was stopping in someone's home 😀

We had a quad room that slept four of us. Bathroom extremely small for four! We took shifts to use the bathroom.

Breakfast was very good! Location was a bit far from city centre.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sherwood Guest House. Vivienne was a superb host, she ensured we had an exceptional experience, providing us with lots of useful knowledge about the city/restaurants/things to see and do as well as lovely chats whenever we saw her. Breakfast was beautifully arranged and left nothing to be desired. We are looking forward to our next stay at Sherwood.

The property was amazing! Very cute snd clean. The bedroom was lovely, perfect for a couple. The breakfast room was amazing, everything you could need. It is very accessible to get in and out of the town centre. Vivienne the host was amazing, really helpful and kind.

Honestly there’s nothing to report here. Our room was a little small, but we expected it from the description and we managed well with 4 pieces of luggage.

Couldn’t hope for a better place to stay to begin our trip in Scotland. Vivienne is a great host and made sure our room was ready for our arrival after an overnight flight. The guesthouse is spotless and the breakfast has lots of healthy options. And above all, the location is amazing, and walking distance from old town and most of the sights, and very well serviced by public transit.

We liked the room but we have few suggestions 😊. The room didn't have a table and we struggled a bit when we were making our hot drinks in the morning, I understand room isn't big but a foldable table would be good option. And also we would suggest to put an adjustable shower head,the rain shower is great but if you want to refresh yourself without making your hair wet it's a little struggle.

The room was cosy and clean, very comfortable bed. Vivienne was a wonderful host and her guest book was brilliant, lots of useful information, I even called her book a little Wikipedia 😊.

Vivian, the owner was extremely helpful with recommendations. Location right on Bus route. Public transportation was great. My wife and I felt at home and Vivian was great.

Vivienne looked after our every need

Our room was small for two large Americans but I fully admit I could have booked a larger room but chose the one we were in by its price.

Vivian the owner was fantastic. She greeted us the first day to give us the lay of the land. She arranged a taxi for us and called the service several times when the taxi was late. The location cannot be beat. Just a few blocks from restaurants, shops and pubs and 20 minutes from Old Town.

Room size was small for us as couple...

Excellent Breakfast compared to Chain hotels we stayed recently...Cozy settings...personalized care by the Propritress Mz Viviene...Spread was good & felt sumptuous..

Breakfast had great variety, and fresh, healthy choices. It was the best we had been offered in our 10 day Scotland stay. Hostess served hot beverages immediately. She was so considerate to provide a healthy ‘take away’ breakfast for early departure.

A warning sign above the tap for the very hot water is probably advisable.

The proprietor, Vivienne, was extremely welcoming and friendly. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Well situated for the City centre, the property was easy to find. The breakfast was plentiful with good variety and we loved the relaxing background music.

Beautiful house, comfortable room, excellent breakfast, lovely host

The guesthouse was quaint and beautiful. Our room was clean and comfortable and the attention to detail and little touches provided were lovely. Continental breakfast provided was great with more than enough variety and food to set us up for a day of sightseeing. Vivienne, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. We loved the information folder with everything you could ever need to know about Edinburgh and the local area and amenities that she had prepared. The guesthouse was about 20 minutes walk from the old town, and it was an easy walk. I would 100% stay at The Sherwood Guesthouse again.

small rooms but we only slept in them so it really doesnt matter that much.

Breakfast was good, Vivienne super friendly and the room was cleaned at your absence. Vivienne also provided the room with a binder that had everything you need to know to move around town and what to see. Location is good meaning buses come and go every 5 minutes and its a 10 minute ride to Royal Mile. Definitely next time we come around Edinburgh we are gonna be booking a room from lovely Vivienne.

This was a fantastic place to stay. A brilliant location, a good breakfast and a spotless room. My best friend and I felt so welcome, and really enjoyed our visit. I would definitely look to stay here when I visit Edinburgh in the future.

Everything! Vivienne is an exceptional hostess. The room was lovely, location perfect, breakfast a delight. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Edinburgh.

Room and bathroom were smaller than expected, but were clean and fully functioning

Warm and friendly welcome. Good local knowledge shared in a helpful folder in room. Convenient location for town exploring. Fridge, microwave, kettle and iron in room, with a small foldable table

The only thing to improve on was maybe adding in a table in the room (twin room) as two girls struggled with makeup and hair but it was a minor and we’re being picky!

Amazing guest house, one of the prettiest I’ve stayed in. Decor was lovely, traditional but modern. Super clean! Vivienne is a fantastic host who was full of information and was super friendly. She really made you feel relaxed and at home. Location was brilliant, regular bus services straight to the city centre which was very useful! Close to Arthur’s seat too which was a bonus for us.
