Lovely stay with Tom & Rowena nothing too much bother, made to feel really welcome. Greeted us by name every time we saw them took a genuine interest in how our day had gone makes all the difference to know you are a valued guest not just a number. Rooms are lovely, well decorated, immaculately clean. Breakfast was also excellent, something for everyone with self-service cereal, yoghurt, fruit and juice area to the varied hot food options made to order all locally sourced. As well freshly homemade sourdough bread everyday. Although not in the very centre the public transport makes this

We had a great time at the Sheridan Guest House. The hosts (Tom & Rowena) were wonderful and really friendly. Our room had everything we needed, including en-suite. The breakfast was delicious with impeccable service. Commute into city center was good as there was a bus station right across from the street. Everything was exceptional. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh. Thank you Tom and Rowena for you amazing hospitality.

We have just come back from a two night stay at the Sheridan guest house and what a lovely find. The hosts Tom & Rowena are really nice and could not be more welcoming or helpful. The Guesthouse is lovely and the room we had was perfect with a good selection of teas and coffee in the room and plenty of shampoos and body wash etc in the bathroom. My one worry on arrival was that the room faced quite a busy road but this turned out to be no problem at all, the traffic goes by quite slowly so minimum noise and the road goes quiet in the early evening. The breakfast selection is very good and would

We recently completed a tour of Scotland where we stayed in various guest houses over the course of a week. Tom and Rowena were in a league by themselves in terms of the quality of our stay with them. The cleanliness, comfort, and hospitality were exceptional. They made us feel so welcome, and by the time we left, it felt like we were saying goodbye to friends. I don't want to stay anywhere else when I go back to Edinburgh.

This Bed and Breakfast top drawer in every way. From the English garden entry to the thoughtfully appointed rooms, and the charming welcome of your hosts, your stay is perfect in every way . However, don't trust Google Maps listen carefully to the directions you're given and you will arrive without confusion .
