About Sherwood Guest House

Edinburgh's Minto Street area, within reach of Edinburgh Waverley, is home to Sherwood Guest House, a Georgian property with just six rooms. The scale keeps things personal, and the building's period character comes through in features such as the elegant dining room where breakfast is served each morning.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi, air conditioning and drinks provided, with family rooms available for those travelling with children. Guests also have use of a garden and luggage storage, useful for early arrivals or late departures before exploring the city.

The location puts a pub or bar, restaurants and other eateries within easy reach, while Edinburgh Zoo offers a nearby point of interest. Golf, fishing and watersports are also listed among the local activities, alongside general entertainment options, making Sherwood Guest House a practical base for a mix of city sightseeing and outdoor pursuits.

We had a wonderful stay at the guest house. Vivienne was so kind to us. This really was our home away from home. We were sad to leave! Vivienne is a gem!

Sherwood guest house is the perfect place to stay when visiting Edinburgh! It’s super close to the city centre with good public transport connections. The guesthouse is super lovely and the rooms are perfect for a city trip. Everything is clean and thoughtfully furnished. The highlight is the owner/hostess Vivienne. Super nice, accommodating and knowledgeable about Edinburgh!

What a wonderful stay. All of the great reviews we read while researching were absolutely spot on. Vivienne is the best host and the Guesthouse is a beautiful place located close to all the sites we wanted to visit. We could walk to almost everywhere and the bus stopped right outside the door if we needed . Our room and ensuite were perfect, breakfast was served daily with fresh fruit, fresh baked goods and delicious choices. There is a book in your room filled with lots of information like great restaurants, things to see, how the busses work and just about anything else you need to know. We so appreciated all of her thoughtful suggestions and being available whenever we needed anything. Thank you Vivienne for helping me to relax after a couple of hectic weeks of travel. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights on our honeymoon road trip. This was a wonderful decision! Vivienne is a wonderful host, a very warm person and made us feel right at home. The breakfast and the room were quality. The location was ideal - we woke up in the morning and simply walked all over Edinburgh each day, coming back when we were tired, and went out again at night. Would highly highly recommend Sherwood Guest House to any traveler
