I am not a Trump supporter, but I have to admit the property is very clean, luxurious, upscale with great staff. They even found my lost gold ring! The marble bathroom was very luxurious.

Luxurious Seclusion
We feel as though we are somehow doing Trump MacLeod House some sort of disservice by calling it a Hotel as from arrival we never felt that we were staying in a Hotel. It felt more as though we were guests in a Baronial home. The standard of service, food and accommodation was exceptional. The entire Staff made us feel at home from the moment of arrival. The quality of finish and standard of housekeeping was second to none. A very peaceful and relaxing stay. 5 stars all the way!

We had a fabulous stay at MacLeod house. The house is situated on the Trump estate, the estate is very well maintained, it’s very peaceful with beautiful scenery. The hotel itself shouts luxury from the moment you step through the front door. Spotlessly clean, really friendly, helpful staff and the suite we stayed in was super comfy. Breakfast the following morning was excellent.. This hotel deserves its 5 *. We would certainly stay here again.

Very nice, luxurious stay
The room was good-looking and very comfortable. The bathroom was the nicest of all the hotels we stayed in that week, and included heated floors. Service was excellent. The grounds of the hotel are lovely - they have black Highland cattle and deer and of course the beautiful golf course, which we walked out to for the views. My only suggestion is to make the rooms a bit brighter - there isn't enough lighting, and given my room's location (we were in the lodge, which is all first floor), I couldn't pull back the curtains while I was getting ready. It's a very relaxing, upscale stay. I could easily just hang out there a few days.

Beautiful surroundings and rooms.
Absolutely breathtaking coming around the corner and seeing the HUGE Scottish flag. The House itself is lovely the restuarant is on the main floor. The food is not country house, maybe in downtown Chicago but interesting . Our kids are vegetarians so a lot of mushrooms for them. Our rooms were in the lodges, the former stables. Stunning , beautiful lush furnishings, fabrics, lamps. The beds were divine. The club house had better food but slower service. Beautiful views of the sand dunes.

Un sejour idéal dans un lieu magique
L'endroit est magnifique, hotel et environs. tout est conforme à ce qu'on attend d'un grand hotel: chambres, service attentionné, très bonne cuisine, etc. Nous n'avons pas utilisé le golf mais il semblait parfait. En revanche nous avons utilisé la plage voisine de Balmenie, qui est splendie. Seul regret, de devoir quitter cet endroit.
