From the guest house in Edinburgh, it is only a fifteen minute walk to Edinburgh Castle where there are literally hundreds of years of history to enjoy, along with stunning views over Edinburgh. The castle is at the top of one of the lovliest, and oldest, streets in the world, known as The Royal Mile, which runs between the castle,at the top of the hill, spreading down to the Palace of Holyrood House at the bottom. On the way down there are loads of interesting places to visit such as St. Giles Cathedral and the dwelling place of one of it's more widely known preachers John Knox. while just 200 yards further down the hill, away from the Sherwood,is Princes Street, home of the Scott Monument, and one of Scotland's premier shopping streets. The Sherwood guest house is in Edinburgh's Newington area which boasts numerous excellent restaurants, cafes, bars, lovely walks through residential areas to holyrood park, and great Edinburgh Accommodation. We are just 5 minutes walk to the nearest golf course, the commonwealth pool, and the Queens Hall. The Sherwood, our lovely 4 star Edinburgh guest house, is a fully renovated Edwardian 'B' listed building. Built in 1832 it retains most of the original features and character ( but with modern heating & plumbing ) of a Georgian town house. In those days Newington was the "up and coming" suburb for the fairly "well to do" merchants in Edinburgh. The house was first registered to a young lady, the daughter of a tea merchant. This was a bold move for it's day as women did not have equal rights or anything like it, but we like to think we have retained that spirit of boldness with our decor and soft furnishings. For Information about Golf in Edinburgh, the Edinburgh International Festival and most other festivals just click on the links. At the Sherwood, we offer great value, traditional bed and breakfast accommodation and we are extremely well positioned for visits to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood House, the new Scottish Parliament, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and all other Edinburgh Festival events. Why pay hotel or motel prices when we can offer luxury, 4 stars quality lodgings at such reasonable rates at the Sherwood, our Edinburgh Guest House. Parking - The Sherwood has a small private car park which we operate on a 1st come basis. There is however ample free on-street parking close to the guest house.

Today is and the 1st weekend has passed without any incident. The weather was mild and we had a few very nice guest staying with us. Our meals were all very good ( back to eating at home with the family ) but the after hols diet has to start today. We ate and drank so much on holiday that we are both like pregnant chipmonks so as from today no goodies will be consumed mon- friday in an effort to fit into the 80% of our clothes made for the smaller versions of our selves. We are sadly lacking visitors so where are you all. We have great rooms and prices so get yir erses to embra and bookup with us. Our great Special Offers are available till the end of march so come to Edinburgh and stay at a great place ( thats us ) for a great little price ( that should suit you dear reader ) There is now a wee book online thing that i enter with the queensburgh group (see to the right of this speil). it needs you to fill in every part of the details before you click the part that says 'click once'. unfortunately any errors dont appear at the click once part. if you scroll back up the page any errors will be highlighted, honest.

We dont think you'll get a better deal anywhere else in Edinburgh. I've added a wee sykpe bit at the right hand side of this ramble. It appears to work ok but i'm not putting it in too prominent a position just yet as some of the calls come at a very inappropiate time. I've been writing a little program again to allow our guests to book on-line and while it isnt perfect ( or anywhere close ) its worth a wee try as it is supposed to be secure, at least thats what my ISP says. It appears to be working again after a few emails went straight to trash & were lost to us. Any time is a great time to visit our wonderful wee city but if you come now you wont avoid the crowds but you'll still get some of the best deals in town. Get yirself up to Edinburgh and get booked into the Sherwood. We have some great rates and our Edinburgh availability checker should help you plan your early visit, or if you plan a later visit to Edinburgh you should take advantage of our special offers while they are still available. Remember here at The Sherwood we will always strive to bring you the best value for money in town. There is a PC in the dining room ( which works most of the time ) for guests use between the hours of 10.30 & 22.00 and a wireless network which can usually be used from all guest rooms. Due to the unpredictability of computers we never guarentee this to be always on but we do try to keep the PC & network running all the time.
