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. Stay and enjoy

Our host, Vivienne, was phenomenal! The Sherwood house is a beautiful property and obviously well cared for. The bed was comfortable and we had a large bathroom in our room. There is a bus stop just a few feet from the property. We will definitely stay here again.
