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

We stayed at the Sherwood for 2 nights. 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

We were three friends travelling together and stayed in room 5. It was maybe a little bit of a tight squeeze with all of our luggage, but absolutely fine and comfortable. The room had lots of extras we weren't expecting, like a microwave, mini-fridge, bottles of water, and alarm clock with iPod dock. Susan was very friendly and helpful. Getting... More

The house itself was good. The only problem is that the owner messed up with our reservations as we have reserved a double room, the only available was a twin one. It was not much of a problem for us because we easily made it look like a double by moving the beds a bit. The bathroom was very small... More

I and a friend stayed at David and Susan's lovely B&B just a mile from the heart of Edinburgh and two doors away from a bus line. The room was lovely but a bit cramped, and the in-room tea service was very generous. Breakfasts were delicious and always included the charming company of our very funny, helpful and informative hosts.... More

Judging from the other reviews, my expectations must have been too high. I found the room to be a bit too small for comfort. In the future, I will inquire as to the size of the rooms and shower before booking. I'm not a big person but could hardly move in the shower. Extra pillows and luggage had to be... More
