A 'unique' Bed & Breakfast experience has been announced for a historic Scottish property this summer.
Over selected dates throughout August, Gilmerton House in East Lothian will offer their ten bedrooms for B&B bookings as they prepare to deliver an "enchanting and memorable stay" for a limited number of guests.
The stately home, which is usually reserved for private bookings and events, requires just a short journey from Edinburgh and is ideally situated for exploring the beaches and ancient castles of North Berwick.
The stunning country retreat has been home to the Kinloch family for 13 generations with a rich history that can be traced back to the 16th century.
Interiors are said to have been carefully restored and maintained over the years creating a space that marries the building's traditional charm with modern comforts.
As part of the Rooms by Gilmerton House experience, guests will have access to amenities including the billiards room, driving range and croquet lawn while a continental breakfast grazing table with Scottish produce will be provided each morning.
Graham Booth, general manager at Gilmerton House, said: "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.
"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."
Reservations for the Rooms by Gilmerton House experience can be made by contacting enquiries@gilmertonhouse.com.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
