Pros
Located in an affluent, residential area with antique shops and micro-breweries nearby
Regular bus service connects to Edinburgh city center
Walking distance to major Fringe Festival venues including Summerhall and Pleasance Courtyard
Close to Royal Commonwealth Pool/gym and Prestonfield Golf Club
Cons
Check-in limited to between 1:30 PM and 7:00 PM
1.5-mile distance to main tourist attractions
“Sherwood Guest House strikes me as the kind of place where Edinburgh's history meets a personal touch. From what I gather, Vivienne, the host, really makes the difference, creating a 'home away from home' atmosphere, and the location is a sweet spot-close enough to Arthur's Seat for a hike, yet with easy bus access to the city center. It sounds like a smart choice for anyone wanting a relaxed base to explore the city's cultural side.”
