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. We are located in the Newington area of Edinburgh which boasts numerous excellent restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels Our Edinburgh Guest House, the Sherwood, is a fully renovated 'B' listed building built in 1832 and retains most of the original features and character ( but with modern heating & plumbing ). 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 its, 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.

If you are still reading when you get to here you'll find that this little bit mostly changes on a daily basis with little bits of hopefully useful information Today is and anyone who reads this regularly may have noticed a recent lack of change to this wee page. That is because i am sitting in sunny arizona just now baskin ( like a wee beached whale ) in glorious sunshine with temps in the 90s, leaving my better half to look after the guest house. Things started to pick up as soon as i left, leaving she who must be obeyed, being very tired every evening, coz our visitors, although we love them, can be a demanding lot. The month of May is filling out nicely but there are some nights available ( see our May Availability page for details ) and so we would encourage you to come our our fair city and see for yourself our beautiful wee town of birth and choice, and get yourself a great deal at the Sherwood our 4 star guest house with 2 star prices. So:- If you are planning a trip to edinburgh please checkout our Availability and get in touch though any of the ways available on this wee page. 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. I've read that a sitemap can be helpful to surfers & search engine robots so hopefully this will fill the bill.
