매클라우드 하우스 & 로지 트럼프 애버딘(Trump MacLeod House & Lodge, Scotland)

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.

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 !

I attended Trump Macleod House for Festive Afternoon Tea on 17/12/23, the grounds and the exterior of the building are immaculate, inside is equally as beautiful and clean with a warm, traditional feel - our booking was for 2pm, we arrived at 1:50pm and we were led into in the lovely, comfortable lounge area whilst we waited to be seated for the afternoon tea, nearer to 2pm we were taken to our table and placed beside the charming fire place which was decorated nicely for Christmas, and the Christmas tree. The staff were very pleasant and approachable but unfortunately, we waited 1 hour for the afternoon tea to arrive at our table with no explanation or apology, we also had to ask for our pot of tea which had never arrived, as did other tables who were looking rather unimpressed at the length of time we all had to wait, when the food eventually arrive it could not be faulted. It was of excellent quality and plentiful, we were even given extra cakes and pieces to take home at the end of the event. I have attended many afternoon tea's including those at The Marcliffe at Pitfodels and Norwood House Hotel, both functions are also beautiful competing five star resorts in Aberdeen who charge half the price of Macleod House for an equally as excellent afternoon tea. In my experienced opinion not enough particularly stood out to match the price of the Macleod House afternoon tea which was £60pp. (The Marcliffe charge £28pp and Norwood Hall charge £22pp, far more reasonable and just as good) Overall, we had an enjoyable festive afternoon and Macleod House has a lot of potential, there were just some avoidable issues which left a slight dampener.

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.

Trumps hotels are some of the best in the world. This one is excellent as well. And the value for money can’t be beat!

Amazing staff, service and accommodation. Everyone was so helpful and couldn’t fault a thing. Highly recommend. Had a treatment whilst visiting and partner played golf again enjoyed every minute and was able to relax.

Perfect accommodation for size, quality and location. Could have done with a usb point for phone charging though!

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.

Had the best time wreath making yesterday. The staff at Trump were excellent and the nibbles delicious. Brilliant workshop from Tiger Lily Florist Aberdeen. By far and beyond the best wreath making event I have been to.
