Sumptuous Scottish Luxury<\/h2>\n

Peeking out of the aeroplane window, watching the ground turn into mountains and lush greenery, I couldn\u2019t wait to touch down for our visit to Trump Turnberry and breathe in the fresh Scottish air.<\/p>\n

We had been invited to stay amongst the beautiful scenery, a far cry from the concrete jungles we had left behind, and as we relaxed in the car from the airport, we drove closer to the mountains, treated to glimpses of the sea peeking through the countryside.<\/p>\n

As we arrived, winding down the long driveway, the hotel soon came into view. A stunning white building overlooking its famous golf courses and the Irish Sea, with views of Ailsa Craig and the Isle of Arran. On a clear day, this is a magical view.<\/p>\n

Our Welcome<\/h3>\n

What a welcome we had! Sleek, grey tartan kilted doormen welcomed us with a tip of their feathered hats and in their wonderfully lilting Scottish accents. Entering the hotel we almost sunk into the plush carpets as we made our way to check in. Homemade shortbread and refreshing drinks were waiting for us and we made our way along the dark wood panelled corridors hung with chandeliers to our room.<\/p>\n

\"Review:

Lavish and total luxury, the hotel has been standing for 111 years. Acquired by Donald Trump in 2014, he invested \u00a3200m, and what an incredible transformation has been made. Windows all round framed breathtaking views over manicured lawns and on to the sea and chandeliers sparkled above our heads as we entered our beautiful room.<\/p>\n

\"Review:

The Suite<\/h3>\n

Silk wallpaper, grey-blue curtains that seamlessly blended with the walls when closed, cosy grey blankets and a sweet welcome tray with macarons greeted us, along with a personal letter from Don Junior hoping we come back soon.<\/p>\n

\"Review:

A cosy window seat beckoned, and with views across to the lighthouse and a coffee table full of books about Scotland, I really could have curled up there all day! But lunch awaited us and we made our way to the Grand Tea Lounge and Bar, to a table by the window, and enjoyed the most beautiful lunch of seafood spaghetti and a wicked fish and chips. Rose lemonade and a relaxing, tranquil environment made the perfect lunch. The staff are so relaxed and friendly, they really set you at ease.<\/p>\n

\"Review:

After lunch, our official tour began with Calum, the lovely Assistant Events Manager. We were so excited to see what Trump Turnberry had to offer wedding couples, so we set off to explore the rooms.<\/p>\n
