Breakfast.
Choices
|
Breakfast in our
Edinburgh Guest House consists of a choice of cereals, mandarins & peaches,fruit juices, to which you are invited to help yourself, croissant cheese and yogurt will be placed on your table along with toast, and a neverending supply of tea or coffee, all served to you in our guests dining room.
Since we started to run the Sherwood in August 1994 we have strived to present the best possible breakfast. Although our prices have not changed much since 1998 we have noticed that tastes have changed in recent years and that the traditional Scottish Breakfast no longer has the appeal it once had. With this in mind we have decided to change our breakfast format as from 1st September 2006. We will no longer offer as standard a cooked breakfast, although this will be available as an optional extra.Insead we will offer our usual choice of cereals, fruits, tea/coffee toast etc and in addition we will provide croissants,  cheese, fresh fruits ( bananas apples etc depending on season) and a variety of yogurts. Todate ( aug 07 ) we have had a very positive response from the vast majority of our guests although to be fair up to now we have had 3 sets of guests morning the passing of the 'traditional fry up'. I guess its true that you cant please all the people all the time. but we do try, honest. After a good nights sleep in our quiet ( all rooms secondary glazed) comfortable bedrooms, you can begin the day with one of our hearty breakfasts and be ready to set off for a full day in the City of Edinburgh. Twenty yards from the front door of our Edinburgh Guest House is a bus stop where you can catch a bus to almost any part of the city. At our Edinburgh Central Guest House we have parking for 3 cars which is worked on a first come first served basis and as such there is no such thing as a reserved space. There are however plenty of metered and free parking bays in the surrounding area, most of which are less than 50 meters from the front door. Our Edinburgh Guest House is five minutes walk from the Royal Commonwealth Swimming Pool and a 30 minute walk will take you to the top of Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh's fine volcanic hill. This will give panoramic views of the whole of Edinburgh, including our Edinburgh Guest House, and over into the Kingdom of Fife. There are a number of local restaurants which cater for all tastes and a plentiful supply of take-away specialists who will supply everything from a basic fish and chips, Italian delights (Pizza & Pasta),up to an Indian or Chinese banquet. |
Edinburgh.
An Overview
Selling Points
|
In addition to having some of the nicest Guest Houses / Bed & Breakfast establishments, Edinburgh must surely be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It's main thouroughfare (Prince's Street) while having some beautiful monuments, gardens, art galleries, and stores, is dominated by a large Castle which sits atop a most imposing volcanic rock. There are Castles, palaces, museums, galleries, cathedrals , churches and municipal buildings enough to satify the most ardent archiological scholar. For the culture vultures there are many fine theatres and music halls especially during the various festivals that take place throughout the year.The Jazz and Folk Music festivals are only two of the yearly musical events and we must not forget the International Festival (Aug-Sept) when every hall in the town is transformed into a theatre for the duration. Edinburgh can also boast of some of the finest bars and restuarants to be found anywhere. All tastes are catered for whether it is Pub Grub and a pint, haute cuisine and fine wines or something in between. |
