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 thats the festivities all over for another year. We hope you all had a great time and that you have a happy and healthy New Year. We hope our 2009 guests are as good as the 2008 guests.
The next time i update this wee rant will hopefully be from Arizona where she who must be obeyed and myself will take our annual holiday together for almost 8 weeks. We have the internet there and can quite happily take email bookings from March onwards
Hopefully when we return in March you will all have checked our March Availability page for details, taken advantage of our great rates and got booked up with us.
For ex-pat Scots we'd advise that you checkout what happening for Homecoming Scotland year.
Whether ex-pat or just a curious tourist we would encourage you to come to our fair city and see for yourself our beautiful wee town of birth and choice, take in some of the wonderful sights, and get yourself a great deal at the Sherwood our 4 star edinburgh guest house with 2 star prices.
For 1st time visitors we heartily recommend booking one of the 2 best Scottish Tourist Board guides around, either Davie McCrae or Bill Hill.Their 1st class knowledge will be passed on to you in an informative and entertaining manner.
Also have a wee look at whats available in April as we approach Easter we will hopefully have some great weather to enhance your visit to the Capital.
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. We dont think you'll get a better deal anywhere else in Edinburgh.
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.
There is a PC in the dining room ( which works most of the time ) for guests use between the hours of 10.30 & 22.00 and a wireless network which can usually be used from all guest rooms. Due to the unpredictability of computers we never guarentee this to be always on but we do try to keep the PC & network running all the time.
