Gilmerton House, Drawing Rooms

Edinburgh University, Centre for Medical Informatics, held a 2 day meeting/conference with overnight stay at Gilmerton House. The house and grounds are magnificent. With beautiful rooms and bedrooms, decorated to the very highest of standards, with in keeping to this wonderful old historic building. The staff are very welcoming and professional. Our requests were handled without any problem. Our thanks to Graham and Suzy who made sure our event ran smoothly. Outside catering was sourced on the recommendation of Graham, we used The Edinburgh Catering Company, who were superb. The house is situated in East Lothian, just outside Edinburgh, so you do have to travel but definitely well worth it! This would be a fantastic venue for entertaining clients or get away meetings!

I recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend at the Gilmerton House, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the elegance and charm of this historic property. The manor's beautiful architecture, combined with its serene surroundings, provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I could not help but feel like we were about to embark on a journey into the noble past with a touch of class and aristocracy. Each room had its own private bathroom, the bedrooms were all clean, the grounds were impeccably maintained. A special thank you to the staff, specifically Susie, you made our stay pleasant and comfortable. Overall, a spectacular experience for all occasions. Highly recommend!

We recently held my daughter's wedding at Gilmerton House and had 22 guests stay at this magnificent facility for three nights. As beautiful and grand as Gilmerton appears online, it does not compare to the exceptional experience of staying there. Each room has its own personality and charm. The house is expertly managed by Graham and Susie, who are beyond accommodating. Whether it was the firewood stacked and ready in the patio fire pit or golf balls arranged on the front lawn driving range, everything was ready for our guests to enjoy. Susie was always on site and even made eggs to order for our guests. When it became too windy for some outdoor events, the Laundry House provided a perfect setting for meals and dancing. Gilmerton was a magical and memorable setting for a wonderful event. - Jonathan Silver
