Gilmerton House Full Description
Gilmerton House is an exclusive-use estate that blends history and tradition with a touch of modernity and a sustainable ethos. Located on Edinburgh’s doorstep and within reach of North Berwick’s stunning beaches and ancient castles, Gilmerton House is perfectly positioned to hold the wedding celebration you have always imagined. Gilmerton House recognises that no two celebrations are ever the same and want to give each couple the freedom to curate a unique wedding according to their tastes; as such, they do not offer fixed wedding packages and only take on a limited number of weddings a year to ensure the best experience for their couples and to maintain the splendour of the house. Wedding ceremonies for up to 50 guests can be held in the Drawing Room, overlooking the beautiful south facing terrace and gardens. Larger ceremonies for up to 80 people can be held in the historic and atmospheric wood panelled Music Room, which, dating back to the 1600s is one of the finest rooms of its age in Scotland. Larger weddings for up to 200 guests can be accommodated in the gardens or a marquee in the stunning gardens. The house has ten luxurious double bedrooms decorated to a high standard in a classical Georgian style with a modern and sustainable focus. Overnight guests can also opt to enjoy the additional services of a house butler and private chef. A further three bedrooms are also available in The Lodge, which is a cosy Victorian self contained cottage situated close to the main house.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Gilmerton
Well what can I say other than absolutely fantastic experience at Gilmerton . We had the house for long weekend whilst daughter was getting married. Graham and staff at Gilmerton were first class and couldn’t speak highly enough of them and how welcome they made everybody feel. The house and grounds themselves are so special and you really feel so relaxed and comfortable there. Thank you for such a wonderful stay and many memories made.

Hugely memorable stay at Gilmerton House
Back home in Cape Town after an incredible week in the UK and a hugely memorable stay outside Edinburgh at Gilmerton House, which was absolutely mind blowing.

A fabulous destination for a wedding
The best experience. We felt completely immersed in Scotland and it’s heritage whilst staying at Gilmerton House. A fabulous destination for a wedding, function, work or family gathering.

One of East Lothian's finest venues
It’s not often you can describe a house of this size as cosy, but that’s part of the homely feel they have fostered. It’s also immaculate and the most incredibly welcoming space. The Bridal Suite called The West Room has a Princess and the Pea-sized bed, dressing table, fireplace and gilded screen, and the built-in wardrobe has been converted into a rather sexy and very modern mirrored shower room. The music room has a Rococo white ceiling, which resembled the royal icing on a wedding cake.

Fantastic Experience
Fantastic experience with friends at this beautiful house. We were hosted very well by Graham and his team. It's a great location - very near Edinburgh but far enough out to feel like you're away from all the noise. Highly recommend it
