Destiny Scotland - Distillers House offers self-catering accommodation in a period building in Edinburgh's West End. Guests can enjoy free WiFi at the property.

All apartments feature a kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, oven, coffee machine and microwave. There is a bathroom in each apartment, equipped with free toiletries and a shower. A lounge area is available, and a TV is provided in the bedroom. Towels and bed linen are available. Destiny Scotland - Distillers House offers a superb base for exploring the historic city of Edinburgh. One of its strongest assets is the excellent location, allowing you to comfortably reach Edinburgh Castle and other nearby landmarks within a pleasant 20-minute walk. This makes sightseeing incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The accommodation itself is spotlessly clean and remarkably well-organized. We particularly appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, which offers great flexibility for preparing meals and feeling truly at home during your stay. Practical conveniences enhance the experience, such as the luggage storage option for early arrivals, which proved to be very handy. Furthermore, the instructions sent before arrival are a standout – they are clear, concise, and incredibly easy to follow, ensuring a smooth and stress-free check-in. It's worth noting for those with mobility concerns or heavy luggage that there is no lift or elevator at the property. However, this is a minor point considering the overall high quality and convenience. In summary, Destiny Scotland - Distillers House provides a fantastic, self-sufficient stay in Edinburgh. With its prime location, impeccable cleanliness, thoughtful amenities, and seamless communication, it comes highly recommended.
