Sheridan Guest House, Edinburgh

Tom and Rowena were excellent hosts and breakfast was the best ever.

Bathroom facilities were a bit small

We had such a lovely stay at the Sheridan Guest House with Tom and Rowena. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. Our room was not only clean and spacious but also beautifully decorated with a lot of attention to detail. One of the highlights was being able to catch a glimpse of the old town from our loft room in the attic when the weather was clear—such a nice touch! And of course the conversations with Tom at breakfast. The location couldn’t be better, with a bus stop right outside and a walk along the Water of Leith leading to some great restaurants in Leith. We’d happily stay here again!

Tom and Rowena were the perfect hosts, they made us feel very welcome into their home. Our bedroom was exceptionally spacious, bed very comfy and spotless, quite a varied choice for breakfast too which we loved. Looking forward to booking again very soon.

The wonderful and comfortable property.

Immaculate - Tom & Rowena absolutely wonderful hosts - so very welcoming and the breakfasts were delicious - home made sourdough was yum

I LOVED everything about this guest house. It’s run by a husband and wife dynamo team. The gardens were a feast for the eyes. The home was filled with beautiful antiques. It was absolutely stunning. Breakfast was delicious and beautiful. I have nothing bad to say. I will bring my entire family here next time. Highly, highly recommend!!!!

Everything was perfect!!

This place was absolutely splendid. The service was above anything else; so personal, inviting and warm. You can tell that they really care about you, and that you have a perfect stay. The rooms are super clean and tidy, and the breakfast is just brilliant. They cook everything themselves, even the bread. The location was very suitable for us, a short walk from Leith and right next to a bus stop as well. I cannot recommend this place enough, it's a perfect place to stay in Edinburgh.

My stay was just lovely. The owners are a delight to deal with and took great care of me. Breakfast was fantastic.

The room was a little warm. It is summer and there is no air conditioning. Previous guests had turned on the heating system and it took me a day or two to work this out.

Warm and hearty couple running this beautiful little hotel. They are continuously looking after you and helping with everything, from a delicious breakfast to sightseeing and travel tips. The hotel is located in a quite part of the town, yet well connected by bus and in perfect walking distance to the water of Leith.

Very nice and clean Lovely freshly cooked breakfast with plenty of choice The owners were very nice and helpful

Our room and shower room bit small for me I am not the smallest of people 6ft 4 But managed

A sweet townhouse in historic Leith. Our room was lovely. Very comfortable bed and duvet. Very quiet. Overlooking the garden. Slept wonderfully. Tom and Rowena are great hosts. Tom has great local restaurants to recommend. And the bus downtown is just across the road. BUT the breakfasts are truly amazing-array of yogurts, breads, cheese, cereal and also home made cooked breakfast choices — fresh and cooked to order. Say yes to Rowena’s sourdough bread/toasted - the best ever.

The bathroom in Room 2 is tiny - but worked just fine for us. However if you’re XXL the shower could be a challenge. Maybe ask for a room with larger bathroom.

Very comfortable and extremely friendly host. Tom was very helpful with places to sew and transportation.

Breakfast was superb. The room was clean and had everything you could need. The hosts Tom and Rowena were very friendly and helpful. The #11 bus was right outside giving excellent access to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle.

Everything

From the moment we arrived I loved the garden out front so gorgeous and well attended! Then we met Tom and Rowena our hosts! A lovely couple, so caring and accommodating . The breakfast served was a beautiful array of choices AND homemade fresh sourdough bread ! So delicious! The bedroom was super comfortable. Everything was immaculate a beautiful orchid in full bloom on the table and the coffee maker right in the room with coffee and cream waiting for us. We felt spoiled and truly Tom and Rowena, if you’re ever in Oregon, please do stop by to see us. Sincerely, James and Carolyn 💜

Everything was perfect, but the rooms and the bathroom were very small. The hosts were amazing, the breakfast was fabulous, the decoration is superb and it's very clean, but the space was not enough. We could barely move or turn in the bathroom. There was not enough space for 2 big suitcases in the room.

It is a heritage building and Tom and Rowena have worked within these confines to make it a welcoming home away from home. The breakfast that was offered was equal to any restaurant. Choice was impressive. Location… the Number 11 bus pretty much stops outside the front door and takes you directly into Edinburgh . So easy to get around.

There isn’t a lift but this is the usual situation if you are staying in a heritage building. Getting up the steps with luggage wasn’t difficult and Tom also helped us out.

Tom, the owner was so nice and helpfull.

There is no lift

Everything! This is by far the most beautiful and accommodating guest house in which we have ever stayed! Tom (the owner) was fantastic. It was as if he knew exactly what we were thinking of and then took care of it instantly!

Nothing. Everything about our stay was perfect!

The room was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. We were going to see Taylor Swift at Murrayfield Stadium and the transport links were great from here the 11 bus stop is right outside and takes you right to town where there are regular trams

Nothing

Tom and Rowena were incredibly accommodating and kind. They greeted us upon arrival and had bought specific ingredients for breakfast to cater to our dietary needs. We were visiting for the marathon and they even offered to get up early to prepare a meal for us. The room was beautiful and cleaned daily. The breakfast was delicious (especially Rowena's homemade sourdough!). I could not recommend the Sheridan Guest House enough and will definitely be back if I visit Edinburgh again.

Good breakfast selection, Tom was very friendly and attentive.

From the moment we arrived we had such a lovely, warm welcome. The room was spacious, clean & well-equipped with everything we needed. The hosts are delightful! So chatty & helpful. Incredible breakfast too with a good choice from continental, to pancakes, to full Scottish. Location wise, the B&B is in the north end of the city which can feel a little further out but the No.11 bus stops right outside & it’s a 10/15 minute walk to the nearest tram line… both of which take you directly into the city centre. We will definitely return & can’t speak highly enough of this B&B. Thankyou, for such a wonderful stay!

Sheridan guest house is such a beautiful property which Tom and Rowena keep super clean and very welcoming. They are really friendly hosts and can’t do enough for you. We stayed for the marathon and it was the perfect place to come back to and rest afterwards! Breakfast is lovely and they even went to the trouble of feeding vegans - would definitely recommend and will stay here on any future visits to Edinburgh.

Breakfasts were outstanding. Plenty of choices, freshest ingredients, home made sour dough bread delicious. Gracious hosts. Classic, classy decor. Fascinating eclectic art work. Decorative use of indoor plants beautiful.

We would surely visit Sheridan again should a first floor room be available.

Easy access to public transportation. Comfortably appt rooms. Delicious breakfast options.

Tiny bathroom.

Great location and the owners were wonderful as was the breakfast.

Parking was difficult and the room a bit on the small size

Location was perfect …. Hosts so helpful and amazing breakfasts

Sheridan Guest House is a gem! Looking back at all other places we stayed at during our trip in Scotland, I can honestly say that this was the best place we stayed at. The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful. The house is filled with charm and warmth. The breakfast is truly spectacular. I cannot recommend it enough!!

There is limited storage in the rooms.

Tom and Rowena were such wonderful hosts and my husband and I would stay there again in a heart beat. The location was perfect and the renovated house was amazing. Loved the breakfast options And Rowena’s home made bread was to die for ! We stayed there for 4 nights, the bus into Edinburgh was about 10 to 15 minute journey and the stop was located across the road right outside the Guest House.

Tight stair case to the third floor.

It was perfect, feels like home. Rowena & Tom are amazing hosts. The house itself is lovely with many decorations & small details. Breakfast was outstanding. Next time in Edinburgh - definitely coming back to Sheridan.

Things to be aware of: The location is a bit remote but easily reachable with Bus #11. The room itself is pretty small but it’s visible in the pictures & size is mentioned. As long as this works for you - Sheridan is outstanding!

Tom and Rowena were very friendly and welcoming. Our daily breakfast was a highlight of our day and Tom’s wit. Our room was super comfy. Will definitely stay when Edinburgh again.

Welcome hosts - Tom and Rowena were such lovely, accommodating people.

There was an excellent selection of items for the continental breakfast and everything was very fresh. Rowena was extremely obliging to make a full hot (Scottish) breakfast and the food was excellent and substantial. There was no reason to go hungry during our morning walks. The rooms for lovely and the bed very comfortable. All the amenities of any large hotel chain, with so much charm. The guest house was beautifully decorated and the ambiance was wonderful. Tom was very helpful with his knowledge of the city and how to get around and what we should see. Both he and Rowena made our stay warm and welcoming. It was very easy to get to the guest house from the airport using the directions Tom gave us. and it was very easy and safe to get around the area on foot or by bus or tram.

I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like. The stairs were a bit narrow, but very safe with good hand rails. Tom was very happy to take our luggage up them for us. I am in my late. 60’s and my knees bother me a bit, so stairs aren’t my favourite. In the end, I had no problem navigating them.

If you come to Edinburgh go there. The bus 11 will bring you to the center and back. It is a quiet place with flowers in the garden and inside the house. A little walk at the riverside Leath and you find good restaurants near the coast. Britannia can be reached within half an hour walking. The owner is really dedicated at work and give you best information for your stay. After a two week journey around Scotland I assure you this was a most amazing place.

Everything about the Sheridan guest house was fantastic. Tom and Rowena absolutely fantastic hosts. I would recommend to anyone who wants a good place to stay it definitely is there. Bus service into the city just over the road and a local convenience shop there as well.The breakfast is fantastic as well plenty of choice and plenty of it as well. Thankyou for making us so welcome. 10/10 from me .

No complaints what so ever it was perfect.

Guest house on the bus route into town. Owner and wife very friendly

climbing up the stairs, not a good guest house for people with back or knee problems, although the room was very clean and comfortable the room was quite small nowhere to put suitcase.

The host were really lovely the food was fantastic the room's were clean and there is a good bus service so we all enjoyed our stay there and would go back again.

There was nothing we didn't like every thing was great.😁

Breakfast lovely Location good

Very small shower room

The room was lovely and clean and comfortable. The breakfast was gorgeous. Easy transport into the city with helpful tips from the hosts

Excellent and plentiful breakfast. Homemade granola and sourdough bread were wonderful. The hosts are wonderful people who love what they do and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome and at home. They had a lot of excellent suggestions for us.

This guesthouse was absolutely amazing, tom and Rowena were fantastic hosts nothing was too much trouble for them, they really did make our stay most enjoyable. The location of this little gem is brilliant just 5 minute bus ride into the centre and the bus stop is right outside the guesthouse and cost just £5 each all day! We used this all the time. Breakfast was lovely nice selection and the homebaked sourdough bread was the best! We will definitely recommend this lovely place and when we are ever in Edinburgh again we will stay here again

The hosts are very attentive and helpful. Everywhere is very clean, tidy, with everything needed and nicely decorated. Breakfast was excellent!

Tom and Rowena were very friendly, caring and generous. We could checkin early and inside the guesthouse is decorated so well with beautiful art and artefacts. They serve hot scrumptious breakfast of your choice from the menu. We loved Rowena’s home baked sour bread . They use organic eggs and other high quality ingredients. Bus stop was just a minute’s walk.

We liked everything.

Everything perfect with exception of bathroom which was very small

Nothing

Beautifully maintained, comfortable , lovely hosts. Breakfast was superb. Cheerful but peaceful place to stay. Highly recommended

The bathroom in our room was tiny, we knew this at time of booking.

Beautiful house Very clean

Nothing

excellent breakfast

Breakfast was absolutely delicious menu options and a table buffet-credit to Rowena and Tom Modern decor with a southeast Asian twist and very welcoming

Lack of parking and would have been nicer to have nightlife within walking distance,nearest place was Leith harbour

Lovely accommodation. Wonderful hosts. Breakfast was top notch.

Most everything. Hosts were great, breakfast was fantastic, and the location was perfect for exploring Edinburgh.

The shower. It's not meant for larger people. Other than that, the facilities were good.
