All rooms have flat screen T.V hairdryer, iron and iron board.The Sherwood is only 1 mile to Edinburgh Castle where there are literally hundreds of years of history to enjoy, along with stunning views over Edinburgh. 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.The Sherwood is a fully renovated Edwardian 'B' listed building. Built in 1832 it retains most of the original features and character ( but with modern heating and plumbing ) of a Georgian town house. 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 which was a bold move for it's day. We like to think we have retained that spirit of boldness with our decor and soft furnishings. We do try harder to ensure your stay is a happy and comfortable one that you are eager to repeat, often.
