Nestled within the grounds of Gilmerton House, The Laundry House features a rustic interior. Originally built in 1804, this 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 an outdoor terrace.

Gilmerton House is a historic exclusive-use mansion located on Edinburgh’s doorstep, within easy reach of North Berwick’s beaches and castles. The house has a history dating to the 17th century and has been restored over the years, complete with a biomass boiler. The property welcomes guests for private stays, golfing retreats, exclusive events and celebrations year-round. Activities include clay pigeon shooting, falconry, archery and foraging walks.

The main house offers luxury accommodation options for guests, including 10 bedrooms, a private dining room, a music room and various living areas. There is also a Lodge which can sleep an additional six guests across three extra bedrooms. With the addition of Laundry House, Gilmerton House expands its event space options, complementing its existing rooms within the main house.

“The Laundry House, has over the years, been home to the estate’s laundry, a garage and more recently, a gym. Now, after its recent transformation, this gorgeous new blank canvas can be used to host everything from private parties and product launches to yoga retreats and wedding ceremonies. Its versatility is a huge asset to Gilmerton House and will be available either independently or incorporated with the main house,” said Graham Booth, general manager of Gilmerton House.
