We did a last minute booking. When we arrived there Mirela greeted us. She is one of the most fantastic host you can have. Since the beginning of our stay she was always helpful and helped us more than we can ask. Bedroom was good, with a very comfy double bed and a nice bathroom. Breakfast was top quality, with a generous amount of food. Overall, 5 star place to stay. Completely recommended. We will come back without hesitation.

We really loved this lovely wee apartment! Distillers house has been refurbished with great care and love for details. (The railings in the hallways alone are so beautiful that I would have gladly stayed in the hall. 😄) Our apartment had the most beautiful bathroom and a shared kitchen/sitting room/bedroom with wooden floors and a very impressive corniced ceiling. It was perfect for self-catering, however, there are so many shops and pubs just outside that you’ll easily sth. delicious within a few minutes walk. Haymarket (train station) is just 4 minutes on foot, and alle the major sights of Edinburgh are 20’ on foot away - of if you don’t fancy walking, you can catch the tram 🚃 just outside the door.

    The host couldn’t have been more helpful. The house was quiet, the beds comfortable and Newington Place is a fine old house with the potential to be a brilliant holiday home. The wi fi is good and the little pool table provided lots of entertainment for children. Lots of bars, restaurants and cafes nearby.

    One of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in, it was an absolutely beautiful house and very clean and homely. It also includes basically everything that you need and had a pizza stone that we used to make our own pizzas one of the nights, it was delicious. Our 4 year old son didn’t want to leave and has said he wants to go back again next year 🥰
