Nestled deep in the picturesque heart of East Lothian, Scotland, the historic Gilmerton House has been a cornerstone of luxury and prestige for centuries. Now, in keeping with its rich tradition of evolution and excellence, Gilmerton House proudly unveils its latest jewel: The Laundry House.
The Laundry House isn’t merely an event space – it’s a testament to Gilmerton House’s dedication to offering a blend of rustic charm and modern amenities to its esteemed guests. Initially constructed in 1804, this gem has metamorphosed over the ages – from housing the estate’s laundry, serving as a garage, and even being a gym. Today, after a meticulous renovation, it stands ready to be the backdrop for your most cherished memories.
Imagine hosting your event in a venue with a dark-beamed roof, wood and flagstone tiled floor, and the ability to open up to a serene outdoor terrace. Accommodating up to 100 seated guests, The Laundry House brings to life an intimate setting that’s versatile enough to cater to everything from elegant wedding receptions to rejuvenating yoga retreats.
Beyond the Event Space
Gilmerton House isn’t just a location; it’s an experience. This historic mansion, which has stood since the 17th century, is a testament to Scottish luxury and heritage. As you wander through its corridors, you’re greeted by roaring log fires, walls decorated with family portraits, and a vibe that seamlessly blends history with luxury. It’s no surprise that this has been the home of the Kinloch family for thirteen generations.
Now open for exclusive events and private stays, guests are invited to experience the sublime beauty of this Scottish masterpiece. Enjoy activities ranging from falconry to archery or relax in one of its 10 opulent bedrooms. And for those who want to continue their experience, the Lodge offers additional accommodation.
“The Laundry House is not just an event space; it’s a bridge to our past and a beacon for our future. We’re eager for our guests to create their own memories here, enveloped in the rich history and unmatched beauty of Gilmerton House.” – Graham Booth, General Manager of Gilmerton House.
