Sherwood Guest House
42 Minto Street, Edinburgh, EH9 2BR, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map
Couldn’t hope for a better place to stay to begin our trip in Scotland. Vivienne is a great host and made sure our room was ready for our arrival after an overnight flight. The guesthouse is spotless and the breakfast has lots of healthy options. And above all, the location is amazing, and walking distance from old town and most of the sights, and very well serviced by public transit.
