Over selected dates throughout August, Gilmerton House will transform from an exclusive-use property into a luxurious Bed & Breakfast that offers guests the opportunity to stay in one of the ten elegantly appointed bedrooms at Gilmerton House – each thoughtfully designed to blend modern comforts with the property's historic charm – and immerse themselves in the grandeur and tranquillity of this magnificent estate.

Each morning, a continental breakfast grazing table will be set out for all guests, utilising locally sourced produce. Guests are also welcome to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the grounds with leisurely strolls through the estate's gardens, and the captivating countryside and local area.

‘Creating a pop-up style experience allows us to offer our unique and peaceful surroundings to smaller groups and couples who may not usually get the opportunity to stay at this wonderful and historic property,’ said Graham Booth, General Manager at Gilmerton House. ‘Whether it's a romantic getaway, a special occasion, or simply a desire to indulge in the finer things in life, Gilmerton House promises an extraordinary and secluded escape.’

The pop-up experience at Gilmerton House is an exclusive opportunity to experience the magnificence of this distinguished estate. Availability is limited, and reservations are now open.
