Ms Vivienne was lovely and very hospitable, and knowledgeable of the area and transit systems.
Shannon
Beautiful place to stay. The host was so accommodating and helpful. Easy walk to restaurants. We enjoyed our stay here.
Steven
Vivienne was a wonderful host and was exceptionally helpful in our decision making as to how to plan our stay.
The house is clean and very well kept. The breakfast buffet delicious. It is close enough to walk to most of the sights in Edinburgh. But you can catch all the buses just steps away from the house. Be sure to head over to the Old Bell Inn around the corner for a pint or a meal.

Our family of 3 stayed at the Sherwood Inn for 2 nights. It was perfect! Breakfast was delicious. It was our 3 year olds favorite meal of the day both days in Edinburgh. The room was very comfortable for the 3 of us with very high ceilings and a nice en suite. I hope we find ourselves with more time in Edinburgh again sometime and we will definitely be staying here again. Thank you, Vivienne!

Fantastic Place to Stay
This is a fantastic place to stay. I read all of the 5 star reviews and they are absolutely true, I can definitely recommend staying here. Vivienne is a really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful host and we felt so welcomed from the moment we arrived. It's in a perfect position to explore Edinburgh and the local pubs are brilliant for food and drinks. It's a really comfortable guest house and the breakfast is perfect to start the day.
I can really recommend staying at Sherwood Guest House and I would certainly book again.

Lori
I cannot say enough nice things about Vivienne and her wonderful guest house. The bedrooms are terrific, as are the breakfasts and the hospitality. You'll want for nothing -- she's already considered what you need. There's a reason this place has such high marks -- Vivienne.
We had an issue that required a lot of special attention, and she was brilliant. She's running a first-class establishment, and she is hard-wired to be a guest house owner. Plus, you won't meet a friendlier human. Everything about Sherwood Guest House has it on our list of places we will stay again. Thank you, Vivienne!

We would come back in a heart beat. The guest house was charming & clean & cozy beds, and the most delicious breakfast. From there,,we walked all around the beautiful city of Edinburgh and back. Vivienne was very friendly & helpful & has a great sense of humor. We felt right at home after a horrible 27 hours of travel, and even had to arrive in the middle of the night. Feel lucky to have found this spot! See you soon Vivienne.

Beautiful guest house
The guest house was really clean and comfortable. Breakfast was continental with an array of fruits, cereals, cold meats and cheeses a welcome break from a full English breakfast.
The host was very friendly and informative about the area.
Although about 15-20 minutes walk from the centre the walk was pleasant taking in the historic buildings in the area.

Lovely stay for New Year's Eve
Vivienne was a lovely host and took time to listen to our needs - providing gluten and dairy free products for breakfast after some of our party mentioned allergies - something we appreciated very much. The accommodation itself was very comfortable and clean and the location perfect. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a break in Edinburgh!

We spent 4 nights at Sherwood Guest House and were totally satisfied. Vivian keeps a very clean place and was always there with helpful advice about local pubs and attractions. 25 minute walk to Edinburgh castle and close to Arthur seat trail. Breakfast was generous with eggs, cheese, meats, fruits, breads and other stuff. Thank you Vivian for making our stay so enjoyable!

Vivienne is amazing. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is extremely knowledgeable about Edinburgh and I trust her recommendations entirely. Everything she told us about was spot on. She is funny and engaging and my only complaint would be that I didn’t see enough of her!
Breakfast is a large spread including meats and cheese, yogurt, croissants, and rolls, fruit, and cereal. She delivers fresh coffee and tea to the dining room, and there is juice as well.
The facilities are clean, and anything that is missing Vivienne will happily get or supply. My mother and I arrived before check in time, but she allowed us to drop our bags off so that we could enjoy the city without lugging them around.
The guest house is right on a bus line, and an easy 30 minute walk from the Royal Mile if you are someone who likes to explore on foot.
Highly recommend.

Happy for us to leave bags pre and post check in so very convenient. 10 min walk from city centre - very clean - tea coffee biscuits replenished daily - fridge and safe in room - ample continental breakfast
Roberta
By all means, stay with Vivienne at Sherwood.
Vivienne has done a wonderful job with the Sherwood Guest House. Completely renovated, the room was large, comfortable, and had the services of a large hotel but with a personal touch. The neighborhood is great as well, especially when you want a local restaurant selection and not the craziness of downtown Edinburgh. I highly recommend it!!
Verified traveler
Vivian is awesome, makes you feel at home, very helpful. The rooms are comfortable and chic. Breakfast was excelent. I liked the location because it was close enough to the center but removed enough from the crowds, on the bus line.
