Trump Macleod House & Lodge, Scotland

"This five-star luxury Aberdeenshire hotel, a former baronial mansion and hunting lodge dating from the 15th century and now owned by Donald Trump, is small but perfectly formed, set amid mature woodland and made up of 18 opulently appointed rooms and suites. It’s a secluded spot though close to the Trump International Golf Links course, so perfect for golf fans, but best of all is the Clavis Whisky Bar, with its extensive selection of more than 200 Scottish and international rare malt whiskies. Make sure to get out and take trips along the Aberdeenshire coast and enjoy the wonderful beach dunes, before returning to the cozy wood fires of the lodge."

Incredible experience. The public areas: bar and dining room were incredible. The food was very tasty accompanied by a wonderful guitarist during dinner. The staff were so knowledgeable & accommodating. The rooms - WOW WOW! The coziest of beds and the decor is opulent yet cozy. Same perfection as we have experienced in all the Trump properties we have stayed.

Really enjoyed a brief stay at Trump Macleod House & Lodge, an excellently renovated Manor House featuring a small number of guest rooms within. This makes for some very personalised service in a cosy ambience, with excellent amenities and a charming breakfast room. ||A good bit further down from the residential building is the Dunes Restaurant and Bar, a meeting place for golfers situated within Trump international Golf Links and accessible to hotel patrons as well (in fact, we enjoyed a couple of lovely meals there, while being able to wander through the fascinating Dunes leading to the breathtaking coastline).||A great stay overall.

This is one of the best hotel stays I have done. Amazing service, the staff are so helpful and friendly. Food is delicious, and the accommodation is immaculate. I would really recommend it here. It is a bit expensive, but it is worth every penny. Customer service is second to none. The beds are super comfy and the bathroom is spotless and massive.

Menie Estate is the epitome of everything I ever dreamed of!!!||||The moment we arrived, we were instantly greeted like old friends. ||||As we entered the massive front door into the elegant reception area, we immediately knew we made a great choose for an out of this world vacation. ||||The entire staff is INCREDIBLE - discreet, and anticipating almost every whim! ||||In particular, two young men||Immediately stood out to us:||||1) Suyog Dahal||2) Stefan Yule||||It is so refreshing to see young men of their character and professionalism. They are an asset to their seasoned co-workers with their energetic youth!!||||The room we had is absolutely beautiful…every professional classic detail you can imagine was integrated into the interior design. ||||The bed and linens were absolute heaven at the end of the day. ||||The huge walk in shower was the perfect. The bathroom is appointed with an antique looking vanity, radiant heating in the floor and a towel warmer.||||There is a minibar discreetly hidden in one of the dressers; the armoire held a safe for valuables. Turn down service is included each night with the shades drawn and lights on. ||||We were sad to leave and go back to the States. ||||We’ve been to many 4 & 5 star establishments, but, compared to Macleod House, there isn’t any competition. ||||We are anxiously waiting for a return trip/stay. ||||Well done, Donald Trump. You set a very high bar!!! Thank you.

If you are a golfer, this is a must-visit spot. It’s not the first time I’ve stayed at a 5-star hotel, but it is the best hotel service I’ve ever experienced. This property is comprised of a small lodge with I think has less than 20 rooms, a manor house with about 10 rooms, the golf course, the golf course club house and restaurant. On-site, in addition to golf, clay pigeon shooting is offered. The rooms are similar in the lodge and the manor house - the decor is dated, but appropriate for a remote seaside inn outside of a small Scottish town. The service here is what really goes above and beyond. Our visit took place in July, which would seem to be high season, but the hotel was pretty empty. The golf course was always hopping but a lot of people checked out of the hotel the day we arrived. Whenever we needed a ride anywhere on the property, someone was quickly able to take us around in a nice Mercedes sprinter. Everyone from our butler to the restaurant servers to the instructor at the shooting school and the golf pro was down-to-earth, warm and friendly. They always seemed to be waiting for us to need something and often anticipated our requests before we had to make them. The food at the restaurant was great and we ate there for almost every meal. There is a whisky bar at the manor house which is open late (& staff will probably open it for you after hours if you ask).||||There are a few things you should be aware of: if you’re coming with family members who don’t play golf, there is a nice beach, but it’s raining a lot and very chilly here, so hanging out at the beach is unlikely to be a good option. There are no pools or rental bicycles on property, and no fitness center. So there aren’t a whole lot of options for non-golfers. There is a hot tub at the manor house that the staff seems to have fired up and ready at all times! There are a full range of spa services offered. But I want you to know that if you’re a wife of a golfer (like me) bringing kids, be sure to make plans to fill your day and entertain the kids. As a family, we did clay pigeon shooting and (offsite) falconry, plus the butler was nice enough to drive us to a famous beach close by where seals like to congregate. We did a lot of walking around the beautiful grounds and visited the town of Aberdeen, about 20 minutes away. ||||I can’t say enough about this amazing resort and I encourage you to check it out if you love golfing or just want to make a stop in Aberdeen. My family is thinking about making Trump Aberdeen an annual summer stop because it’s been such a great experience.

Exquisite ! Genuine service excellence ! From arrival to departure there wasn’t any more we could’ve asked for. Friendly yet customer focused staff, beautiful luxurious accommodation and lots of lovely personal touches ! They helped by delivering little extras for my husband’s birthday and interacted with the golf course staff when the weather changed - wholeheartedly recommend !
