    December 2023

    In October 2023 I had the pleasure of hosting my closest family and friends for 1 full week at Gilmerton and it was nothing short of outstanding. The whole experience was filled of a lifetime of memories. The lead up, the planning with Graham was a joy. Over the course of the months leading up to it Graham was on hand to answer questions and give advice along the way. For that reason alone I would recommend Gilmerton. During the week itself we were supported with the housekeeper Karen, who is so welcoming and lovely and the wonderful Ali who was there for all our various needs and questions. We also met some of the extended family who were very welcoming too. As a family we love to cook, sing, play games, go for walks and in general just be together and laugh and Gilmerton allowed us all to do that and also have our own space when needed. There are so many spaces from lounges, billiards room, mini dance hall and corridors and rooms for miles! Every bedroom is unique and you just feel like home it is so comfortable. The outside space is just one big playground from golf, playing ball games, stunning walks and runs and glorious nature all around. Also not forgetting the surrounding areas. So many beautiful places to visit from Gullane, North Berwick to some little beaches which are stunning in all sorts of weather. The Reception halls allow for dining and the ability to have evenings round the fires and piano. We had many days & nights of just enjoying the surroundings and relaxing and then 2 of the nights we hosted a couple of parties to celebrate my 50th birthday. The first night being a murder mystery, which was amazing. The setting, the plot line and all the guests loved it and the backdrop of Gilmerton was PERFECT!! I would recommend this type of party/activity. Then on the 2nd night we hosted a black tie dinner, again the facilities are incredible for these types of parties. We began our evening with canapés in the reception room and lounge with the piano. It was catered and staffed by Edinburgh Catering company , which I would highly recommend. Douglas and team were so helpful and thoughtful while planning the evening and they did not disappoint on the evening. The food was sublime and all the guests were raving about it. That evening we set up in the Laundry and again another outstanding space at Gilmerton for a party. We truly enjoyed decorating it and it was the perfect place to dine, chat, laugh , dance and celebrate a milestone moment in my life. We also used the space to host some sound baths for all our guests and it was perfect. I would highly recommend Gilmerton to anyone who is looking for an intimate, stunning escape from the day to day in a place that is drenched in history and beauty. It was the perfect way to reign in the next decade. I am now figuring out when we can all go back for another adventure & special time together. Until next time Slainte Mhath Aud & family x
