Exclusive Use Venue just outside Edinburgh

The Mansion House at Kirkhill

Just 9 miles from Edinburgh city centre, The Mansion House at Kirkhill is a Grade B listed 18th-century country house with a long and distinctive history.

Originally built as a family home when Henry Dundas established it as a dower house to the Arniston Estate in the 1700s, Kirkhill was converted into a hotel in the 1970s before becoming the accommodation and events venue it is today.

Inside, the house offers a collection of individual bedrooms alongside reception and entertaining spaces including the Grand Hall, Dining Room, Games Room and grand piano room. Outside, the grounds provide plenty of space to explore, as well as a marquee and outdoor hot tub.

Kirkhill is offered on an exclusive-use basis, so the house can become a private base for a wedding, celebration, event or group stay.

Whether you're gathering around the dining table, celebrating in the Grand Hall or simply spending time together, Kirkhill is a house designed to be enjoyed rather than simply visited.

Guest Reviews

We hired Kirkhill for a two-day company event and it worked brilliantly. There was plenty of room for the formal sessions during the day and then everyone could properly switch off in the evening. Having the whole place exclusively to ourselves made a huge difference compared with a hotel. The setting is impressive without being stuffy, the food was excellent and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back.

Kirkhill was everything we wanted for our wedding and more. From arriving on Friday until we reluctantly left on Sunday, it felt like the house was completely ours. The ceremony and photographs in the grounds were beautiful and having our closest family and friends staying with us made the whole weekend so special. The team were fantastic, the food was amazing and the day itself was completely relaxed. We genuinely couldn’t have chosen a better place to get married.

Absolutely perfect for our hen weekend! There were 24 of us and finding somewhere that could comfortably accommodate everyone without splitting us between different hotels had been a nightmare. Kirkhill was ideal. The house is gorgeous, the bedrooms were lovely and we had loads of space to eat, drink and spend the weekend together. We laughed from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning and nobody wanted to leave. The bride loved every minute of it.
