Nestled within the picturesque grounds of Gilmerton House, The Laundry House boasts a charming rustic interior. Originally built in 1804, this meticulously restored property can accommodate up to 100 seated guests, making it ideal for both large and small events. The venue includes a spacious main room, with dark beamed roof, wood and flagstone tiled floor, and has a beautiful outdoor terrace.
With the addition of Laundry House, Gilmerton House expands its event space options, complementing its existing rooms within the main house. Guests can now choose The Laundry House to suit their requirements, which may formerly have required a marquee.

Gilmerton House itself is a historic exclusive-use mansion located on Edinburgh’s doorstep, within easy reach of North Berwick’s stunning beaches and ancient castles. The house has a rich history dating back to the 17th century and has been beautifully restored over the years, complete with a biomass boiler. Gilmerton warmly welcomes guests for private stays, golfing retreats, exclusive events and celebrations throughout the year.
'We are thrilled to introduce The Laundry House as the newest addition to Gilmerton House,' said Graham Booth, General Manager of Gilmerton House.

With roaring log fires and walls adorned with family portraits, Gilmerton House has welcomed guests for events large and small for many years. A family home since the mid 1600s, it has been home to the Kinloch family for thirteen generations.

The main house offers luxury accommodation options for guests, including 10 beautifully appointed bedrooms, a private dining room, a stunning music room and various living areas and offers a variety of activities, from clay pigeon shooting and falconry to archery and foraging walks. There is also a Lodge which can sleep an additional six guests across three extra bedrooms.
