Trump Turnberry

On arrival at the hotel, we found it difficult to get a parking space. Long queue for check in to be told our room wasn’t ready. Young girl on the desk had absolutely no customer service skills and couldn’t crack a smile. Room was finally ready but bag hadn’t yet arrived so we were unable to get ready and go to the spa. Finally bags arrived to our room and the robes supplied were not in a particularly great condition, so again we had to wait to have another sent up. Spa was lovely although very busy - maybe avoid weekends if you’d like more of a relaxing break. Dinner in the clubhouse was lovely, service impeccable and the young girl serving was a credit to the hotel. Food was lovely too. Breakfast again - long wait to get seated then seated right at the back near the hot plates, asked to be moved as constantly being brushed past by guests and workers. Overall, for a hotel that classes themselves as luxury and 5 star, I would say many improvements needed.

Valentine stay Lovely valentines weekend ..

Our second stay at Turnberry and it didn’t disappoint. From check in to check out, we were made to feel really special and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with beautiful views. The food was beautiful and the staff were really kind and accommodating helping us to celebrate my husband’s 50th with extra asks being fulfilled eg allowing us to pre deliver items for set up in the room, store cake in fridge etc The pool was pristine and the weather was amazing all weekend which allowed us to enjoy some putting with our young sons. Can’t wait to come back again one day! We have stayed at gleanagles and Fairmont and nothing compares to turnberry on quality, location, value for money.

The Lighthouse is a 2 bedrooms/ bathroom suite with balconies and a huge lounge; the perfect location for a small, intimate wedding. The wedding planner Mairi was amazing and made everything very simple and yet just perfect - nothing but praise from start to finish. James was the most delightful concierge taking us between the Lighthouse to the Hotel and every other member of staff was so helpful it made the whole experience one never to forget. We received unexpected gifts including champagne, a fruit bowl and other drinks on our first night. Our guests stayed in the main hotel and were delighted to receive room upgrades. The restaurant (1906) delivered exception food on very visit for breakfast and dinner; even the room service was exquisite. We went shooting which was a great experience for all of us. Overall couldn't recommend this highly enough to anyone seeking the perfect small wedding. The hotel recommended the celebrant SayIdowithMandy who was fabulous too.

Three weeks ago we stayed at Trump Turnberry. It was our first visit, and in all honesty, we didn’t know a whole lot about the hotel prior to booking, nor did I read any reviews, but if you’re looking for information on a recent stay, then perhaps our experiences may help you in your research. We had booked a villa for our one night stay. Upon check in, we were told that we’d been upgraded to stay in the main building, which was a most pleasant surprise. Check in was quick, and efficient. Our luggage was taken, and the car parked by the valet team. We walked up to our room, and the first thing that struck me, was the level of finish on the materials around the building. You would not know that there was any age to the fabric of the hotel, as everything appeared to be brand new. I come from a construction background, and I’ve seen old hotels that have been refurbished, and Trump Turnberry is really next level in terms of the work, and materials that I’ve been used. Arriving at our room, we were really pleased; it was spacious, and well equipped with tasteful furniture, and furnishings. There was a mini bar with reasonable prices, a coffee maker with sufficient pods, milk, and even creamer. Which is something that you’d usually only see across in the US. We’re British, but we do spend a fair amount of time in the US, and it was really nice to see the imported US fittings in the bathroom. It was literally like stepping into a US hotel bathroom. From the shower, to the twin basins, to the bath, it was all US brands. The bathroom was again a US sized room, and if you’re travelling from the US then you’re really going to feel like you’re home from home. Most of the bedroom furniture was American made, along with US style lamps with twist turn switches. Everything in the room had a quality feel about it. We had a nice view, and could see the sea, and hills across in the distance.r Soon after we arrived, the chap arrived with our luggage, and set it up on the stand for us. Every member of staff we encountered during our stay were friendly, and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. We decided to have an evening meal in the hotel. Prices in the 1906 main restaurant looked a little beyond our budget, so we opted to walk down to the Turnberry Clubhouse, and eat in the Duel in the Sun restaurant. We were not disappointed. It was a relaxed, casual affair, but the food was excellent, and it suited us perfectly. We both had steak, and it was done to perfection, with a very large portion of food overall. Prices were reasonable, service attentive, and friendly, with a good view out over the golf course. The hotel does provide a shuttle service to, and from the Clubhouse, but we enjoyed our walk, as the weather was being very kind to us, even though we stayed in February. Neither of us have any interest in golf, but we did enjoy looking around the shop in the Clubhouse, with us buying a number of souvenirs to take home to the kids. We also perused the pho
