The Grand Tea Lounge in South Ayrshire

Very average, tea weak for my taste, scones delivered after you have eaten your sandwiches...annoying. sandwhich fillings were poor as not enough filling and therefore quite tasteless. cakes nothing special.. would not do again at that price very disappointing

We had a casual lunch and Afternoon Tea in wonderful surroundings. The food was excellent and of a high quality and the staff were polite and attentive. Well worth a visit

The tranquility of the tea lounge after being out for the night allowed us to relax and chill with a couple of drinks before bed. Great staff

Turnberry is one of the best Afternoon Teas, cater for everyone ..... stunning views greet you on arrival, you choose your menu we opted for traditional, with beautiful sandwiches swapped out fish for meat, lovely treat sized cakes, scones, carrot & currant cake was amazing ...... with a gin & tonic on the side drinks are expensive what you would expect ....Terrific ambience & all our needs catered for ..... make sure you have your phone ready & charged no menus due to covid, would be good if this Hotel had an iPad they could share with guests to support if required .....excellent touch Moms birthday & given a plate of goodies with Happy Birthday magic touch .. thank you.

We booked Afternoon Tea here and we weren't disappointed. We were offered a choice of teas.  My husband had Peppermint and I chose Blackberry and Lavender, which was delicious. I also upgraded my Tea to have a glass of bubbly, which was an extra £18, but well worth it, as it was a large glass of wine and very enjoyable.The waiter asked if there were any allergies or any foods we didn't like, before he brought the tea to us.  We had a selection of sandwiches and the bottom plates, and the upper plates had cakes on them.  When we finished the bottom plate hot scones were bought out, with jam and cream.Service was very relaxed but we were served well by Emil.

On earlier visits, some 45+ and more recently 35+ years ago, the afternoon tea was outstanding, with unlimited sandwiches and marvellous cakes.Back then, this cost £25. Today, for £35, it is still magnificent, but not quite as extensive, though, nevertheless, still too much.As such, a visit even just for tea, overlooking the ocean, is an experience worth having.

We were 8 for afternoon tea. Sat at nice sized table in dining room next to 1906 restaurant not in the Grand Tea Lounge. Very attentive staff. The quality of the tea and the food was beyond reproach. Too much food in fact but no issue to ask for boxes to take leftovers away. Small issue with time taken from ordering to receiving but we were busy catching up so wasn’t too much of an issue. Can highly recommend.

Location and visuals when having afternoon tea is great here, plus the ability to bring a dog and sit by fireplace is slick and very flexible. This place is dog friendly if you mention in advance. The food itself is on the mark and each part of the afternoon tea is full of flavour and very very good indeed. It is at times a work of art with a taste that backs up the visuals. A few bits lets it all down and worth considering if planning a visit as they seem consistent with other reviews:Mainly the service is below standard. It isn’t attentive enough. Our waitress got all our pots of tea mixed up plus one tea was wrong. There seemed way too few people on duty at this part of the hotel compared to other parts. Plus little things like never filling up my tea etc; Not attentive enough. We were also not asked about dietary requirements at the start, which is surprising as normally establishments triple check this on ordering. Things were a bit slow too but this didn’t bother me too much but worth considering if you are someone that has time constraints. Overall the food is the lighthouse beacon on which makes this experience worthy of doing, even with a few shortcomings around the edges.

Recently had afternoon tea here as part of 60th Birthday celebration.Tea as expected to high standard but I must say disappointed with serviceOur waiter a nice guy called Luke very attentive but seemed to be doing everything in the Lounge whether organising Cocktails at the bar,or going to collect various afternoon teas for other tables,when serving us he advised that our scones would come seperately after we had finished our savories,OK no problem with that but had to ask other staff twice for them as Luke busy in bar area. Scones eventually delivered by Luke.What was wrong with the other staff going to collect. Also requested more hot water again this was delivered by Luke and not the other member of staff that we asked.However a pleasant afternoon spent here in nice surroundings and not too pricey

I was really nervous going in, feeling I wouldn’t fit in the atmosphere. We decided to walk up the steps from the car park across the road....It’s a lot of steps but as you go up it’s just amazing. We walked through and asked someone if we could get a cup of tea. They made us feel so welcome and popped us by the window. Absolutely stunning views even on such a rainy day. We ordered tea, which was served lovely and had the timer explained, it was lovely and peaceful just sat chatting and taking in the view out the window. I asked someone where the toilets were and was greeted by the reply in don’t know’ and they had to ask another member of staff who directed me. The toilets were beautiful and sparkling clean. We decided to stay for a sweet treat, so asked for the menu. We were given a leather book that you display the bill in rather than the menu. After sling another person they bought the menu over. We both ordered sundaes. I had ‘Queen ur’ and my partner had the one with whiskey, we both thought they were the nicest ice cream we had had. Defiantly 5*

Having previously enjoyed an afternoon tea here we returned today for a family birthday. We were extremely disappointed with the experience. On arrival at 2pm we waited at our table for 30minutes before having our tea served. The tea was not hot and we had to ask to have it replaced. We waited a full 50 minutes before we were served with our food. During this time other tables were seated and served tea and food. The food was delicious but the length of wait for food was unacceptable and the tea was really very poor quality being lukewarm and very weak. The waiters could do with a few lessons in the art of making tea. Very disappointed.

Nice cozy and informal room setup for afternoon tea and evening drinks. Grab a window table for views of the golf courses and the water. For evenings, you can hear bagpipe before the sunset. The Lounge has a decent selection of beers, wine and speciality drinks.

On a visit to Ayrshire my friend took me for Afternoon Tea as an early Birthday treat. From the first moment everything was first class - excellent hot tasty bites, sandwiches, scones, fancies. And a lovely box to take home what we couldn’t finish. I’m only sorry I didn’t think to take photographs.

Having eaten afternoon tea at both The Savoy and The Ritz, while in Scotland I had to try Turnberry. Booked six months ahead requesting a table with a view - booking was confirmed by e-mail (very impressed) following my telephone call.Lovely welcome at the door by a charming gentleman called Jimmy, dressed in a very smart tartan uniform. He asked my name and our reason to visit Turnberry, and took us to the appropriate dining room. A very special experience and felt very priviliged to be there.Staff were highly attentive and sat us where I requested, infront of the windows overlooking the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig - perfect. Our waiter explained the various tiers of the cake stand and we chose our tea from a selection in a box which was prepared infront of us. Everything was delightful. The tea was delicious including all the various treats. I cannot recommend Turnberry Afternoon Tea enough - staff are charming and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you everyone involved, it was simply lovely and something I will not forget following my return to Ayr and the meeting of a friend not seen for over 40 years.

We were here for lunch as part of a spa day, Gavin our waiter was friendly, chatty and very warmly welcoming to the clients. Gavin couldn't do enough got us our meal and drinks and even came just for a chat.Food good, service great, look forward to returning.

We were a group of 12 for a light dinner our first night at the property. Stunning views of the sunset from here!

Took my mother to Turnberry for afternoon tea as a treat the service was excellent the sandwiches quiche sausage rolls cakes and scones were delicious and the views over the golf course and the Firth of Clyde towards Arran and the Ailsa Craig were breathtaking all in all a very enjoyable experience

Sadly our experience this time was very disappointing. We were forgotten about! The young gentleman who served us looked as though he was on another planet, despite being assured he had been employed with Turnberry for quite sometime.

Had a lovely lunch there last week. Food was lovely and tasty. Service was good. Lovely afternoon. However I think people should not sit in their bathrobes having lunch. People get dressed up to have a nice lunch whilst other people sit in their bathrobe that are a bit reveling.I am sure Turnberry would not like everyday guests to turn up in their sleep wear for lunch. Very crowded in the tea lounge whilst other rooms with tables are not being used. Please Turnberry use other rooms and give people space without the bathrobes. Its an insult for people that make an effort. We dont want to see people without their clothes on .

Lovely place to spend a leisurely afternoon. Very casual and not stuffy considering the impeccably trained staff and the 5 star rating.

We ate at the Grand Tea Lounge twice during our stay ......lunch on the first day and dinner before we left on our final day.

We arrived and needed lunch, the place was extremely busy. Huge sandwiches, excellent cocktails, lovely staff (really lovely staff) and rather expensive. Sarnies and two drinks each, £85. But it has to be done.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea and cocktails for my partners 40th birthday. Our dog best was also made welcome. Staff were wonderful. Thank you.

A fantastic setting for afternoon tea or predinner cocktails. Some people like to settle before ordering I prefer to be acknowledged and attended as soon as possible. We waited a few minutes then I had to ask for service which in 5* is disappointing. However then the service was good and we enjoyed our drinks.

This visit was a gift from our children and what a wonderful visit it was. The setting is superb looking out towards the Argyle coast and the isle of Arran, the restaurant is very grand and the food and service was second to none.

Abbiamo colto l'occasione di un soggiorno presso l' hotel Trump Turnberry, per gustare te e caffè ( regular, non espresso ) in questa stupenda lounge, insieme a panini e sandwich giganti. Tutto squisito, servito da uno staff molto gentile e preparato, esaltato da una vista comoda e spettacolare dagli ampi finestroni della sala sul mare e sul limitrofo campo di golf. Una pausa fantastica e rilassante dopo una visita a un' altra perla dei dintorni, il castello di Culzean.

Fabulous setting for what we thought was a light lunch. I opted for the Chowder, which was delishous......but all the others who opted for the Sandwiches struggled!!! Half a loaf and a bag of Veg Crisps is a bit much for a light lunch.....Portion control needs to be reviewed.

just returned from a lovely afternoon tea at this fab hotel I don't have the words to describe how great the food was and quality of service from all the staff we were in contact with. We had a lovely window seat with great view Fab !!!!

Beautiful views and you can get a quick bite or drink. Everything is reasonably priced. It’s located in the center of the hotel. On a clear day you can see for miles.

Took my mum, aunt and sister for this and we were delighted. Beautiful surroundings, first class service and the sandwiches /cakes were just gorgeous. My sister can’t eat gluten so we were worried that they might not cater well for her but her gluten free afternoon tea was amazing! Will be back. Lovely experience all round.

Waited for long time at 12.30 (lunch time) in the lounge. No service. Had to walk over to the bar to get service. Food was ok to good however was surprisingly soup came without a plate under bowl. Nowhere for bread etc. Then nobody came to ask us if we want desert or drinks had to get up again after sitting for 40 mins after eating to get the bill. Bill was then wrong. I have been to lots of the best hotels in the world and this truly was the worst service.

Trump Turnberry has got to be the place to go for afternoon tea with superb service in a most delightful atmosphere. From the greeting on arrival, being shown to your table, and the 'top notch' service from the waitresses, all the way through to the delicious sandwiches, warm scones (with thick cream and jam), and the unbelievably rich and extremely tasty cakes. My wife and I were treated with respect, courtesy and made to feel very special. It was a real treat, and the prices were very reasonable. The staff who dealt with us, did so in a kind, and friendly way, but were not intrusive. We were given time to enjoy our afternoon, we were not rushed in any way, and the Turnberry blend tea has got to be a must for me next time we go. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

Had a beautiful afternoon tea in the Grand Tea Lounge with amazing views of the sea. Staff were friendly, well-trained and super-helpful. We had the sparkling wine set tea menu. The food was excellent quality and the tea itself was beautiful. The whole experience was great and in my view very good value for money. You really do get what you pay for.

Excellent sandwich and it was a very reasonable price! Staff was fast and efficient as well as friendly.

Spent a beautiful sunny afternoon at Turnberry having sparkling afternoon tea as a Christmas present voucher from my daughter. The setting is wonderful and the staff excel. They are so nice and welcoming. I hate stuffy formal places but Turnberry is not like that in the slightest. The plentiful afternoon tea selection was just scrumptious. We actually ate every single thing. If you want a lovely relaxing afternoon in beautiful surroundings this is the place for you. Last year I was given a Christmas present of Sunday brunch and I can also highly recommend that too. Roll on next Christmas.

We treated ourselves to Sunday Bruch at this hotel and what a treat! Fantastic choice of food, pleasant unobtrusive service and lovely views across the sea to Ailsa Craig. The sun was shining to make the meal just perfect.

Great experience and food was first class along with the service.. Views are stunning Bit expensive but well worth the visit

Please try the afternoon tea this is wonderful and very reasonably priced with a special tea made for trump turnbury fabulous views this is a must

Soup and sandwiches here were so nice and plentiful.Lovely to sit and watch the seaview. Had dinner here also one night and it was nice too ,not huge menu but enjoyable .

We arrived and couldn't get a table in the other resteraunt so decided to try this one , and it was not disappointing.... the white bait was super tasty and the ceasar salad with the rannoch smoked chicken was amazing.. but my husband was so impressed with the miso soy chicken he asked if the chef would share his recipe ??? He joked with the waitress about asking the chef and she did ....and came back with the recipe. Lovely waitress staff very attentive , amazing cocktails, we stayed for 2 nights and spent both nights in this bar area because it was such a nice atmosphere.

My daughter treated me to afternoon tea it was excellent tea service excellent food delicious lovely views

Visited during my stay and opted for a light lunch.

Food was very disappointing. greasy, not cooked very well and presentation messy. We expected better from a luxury resort like this.

Welcomed by very attentive, caring, pleasant staff. The food was delicious. A varied selection of teas were on offer which added to the experience. We were lucky enough to be seated at a window table and the sunny weather and as a result the views were stunning and spectacular.

Lovely little tea lounge serving lovely snacks and drinks inc cocktails and afternoon tea, the view is out of this world especially for a golf lover. staff very friendly and very hospitable too

With one of the greatest views in Scotland this wonderful room is ideal for a superb cup of tea, with

A lovely setting, bright and comfortable.

Great service, excellent teas, light lunches, pastries, and really good fish and chips. Oh yes, and the view of Ailsa Craig, where they get the granite to make curling stones.

Very disappointing ! The sandwiches were wrinkled as though they had been made the day before, the pastry was soggy and cold and the cakes were unexpiring . The only thing in its favour was the view and the harpist . The previous day we had afternoon tea at glenapp castle ballantrae ,a half hour drive from turnberry . Their afternoon tea was cheaper and freshly made and the cakes were as light as a feather .my advice is drive the extra half hour and enjoy

It it such a treat everything is very tasty and looks so good views are lovely worth a visit or two or more

Afternoon Tea mit Familie. Es war exzellent. Große Auswahl an Tees. Ich habe Kaffee genommen (sorry). Sandwiches and savouries waren großartig. Die Scones waren federleicht. Die "Cakes" und Kuchen waren hervorragend. Leider konnten wir Garnichts aus dem Fenster sehen, da es nebelig war - Aber das ist auch Teil der Erfahrung. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Stunning views, relaxed atmosphere, talented musician playing in the background, exceptional customer service and remarkable delicacies.

Very restful lounge with magnificent views over The Irish Sea.Open fire is very welcoming.Afternoon teas are a speciality,they looked very appetising.Used tables were quickly and efficiently cleared away.

I was given a prosseco afternoon tea as a gift and it didn't disappoint. I am not a fan of the man but his hotel is superb. Staff were attentive and responsive to requests and all guests were treated with great respect. Prosseco was swapped for soft drinks on request and tea was quickly provided. Not the usual finger sandwiches, instead mini savouries including goats cheese and tomato pastries and drop scones with ham hock and horseradish. All delicious. Scones with jam and cream were served after the savouries and I expected this to be due to them being warmed but this was not the case. Bit disappointed with that. Another two tea selections were provided and we tucked into the patisserie selection. Mouthwatering crisp pastry tarts, opera cake, raspberry and pistachio cake etc. Too good. Couldn't even attempt the Dundee cake and carrot cake. Staff provided us, and most other diners, with our leftovers in a box to take home. Eye popping array of teas on the menu and good options on coffee too. Lovely, peaceful atmosphere and luxurious setting. Views from our window table to please even the most discerning customer. Great experience and probably the best afternoon tea I've had.

Wow what a setting for afternoon tea , friendly staff , beautiful and plentiful afternoon tea , highly recommend

The chandlers are amazing, the views from the windows spectacular and the ambience top class. I do not think I have seen such another tea house set up in such a good way and the serving on staff, brilliant. Oh yes, the food and drinks at the very best. You do not have to stay at the hotel to enjoy but would recommend booking well in advance as it is very popular especially at weekends and also when there is a golf tournament or event in the ballroom. Enjoy and forget the calories.

Recently had two visits to Trump Turnberry , one for afternoon tea, one on coffee and scones-both visits absolutely FAB (served by the fantastic Fiona both times) -defo recommend this place loved every minute -nothing too much trouble !!

Lounge/bar area in the main hotel.....all others private areas have been given over to function suites...so no residents lounge or bar should you be paying c£300 a night to stay here.Afternoon tea very popular, but of an evening this lounge emptied out by mid evening, only the very small bar area had customers. Lovely real fire in the front entrance 'hall'' but few seats in this area. Not a place of an evening you might be tempted to linger....even the staff numbers seemed to drop away, obviously not expecting a late evening surge of customer.

The tea and treats are delicious, and the service is perfect. Dining room is lovely overlooking the golf course. Wonderful experience all around.

Lousy in every way! There is a handful of tables with good views and the rest make you feel like you are sitting in a hotel lobby watching hotel security and staff come and go.

Un salón amplio, acogedor ubicado tras un gran ventanal con unas espectaculares vistas. Ofrecen comida todo el día, destacando un servicio completo de te (sándwiches, pasteles y te). Merece la pena una visita si estás en la zona

My husband and I have spent this afternoon in The Grand Tea Lounge at Trump Turnberry and I can honestly say they made us feel very special indeed. Customer service at its best. From the lovely kilted concierge, who escorted me into the Hotel to the very knowledgeable young ladies serving the very varied teas. Beautiful surroundings and very tasteful decor with the stunning countryside visible through the huge decorative windows. What a treat! If you are in the area, do not miss the opportunity to visit this fine establishment, regardless of what you think about Mr Trump, the staff work hard to maintain such high standards.

Afternoon tea was nice enough, but lacking in service & scones. Beautiful location, table by window, lovely harpist-just lacked any attention. Never asked if more tea was wanted, or champagne or water. Scones were meant to be included, they just forgot to bring them. They did send us home with them, it was clearly an error, but no one seemed to be managing the service, which was somewhat lacking for an establishment with that reputation.

If you can get a window table here for around 6.30p.m. you will see the piper walking in front of the hotel, if you like bagpipes its quite an experience and should not be missed

Treat yourself to Afternoon Tea at Trump Turnberry - you wont be disappointed! From start to finish we had a fantastic experience. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with views out to the Ailsa Craig. The staff were very attentive, without being overbearing (special mention to Sharon who looked after us so well) and the harpist playing background music was a nice touch (it's not every day you hear Bowie played on the harp!!).The star of the show was undoubtedly the afternoon tea itself. It was absolutely delicious and the amount of sandwiches, cakes and scones supplied was generous to say the least. I had requested gluten free and this was supplied with no problem at all. I had some of the best sandwiches and cakes I have ever had. We will without doubt be back. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The staff are informative and helpful, the food is excellent and the environment is luxurious, additionally the views from the tea lounge over the sea and the golf course are wonderful on a bright sunny day.Also very much enjoyed the music played by the harpist.The cream tea allows for a number of options depending on your needs. I even liked the cutlery and crockery ...

Great hotel, well refurbished and the service is excellent. Finished to a high standard. The afternoon tea was lovely and we enjoyed the view immensely. Its a great location and very peaceful and restful which is always a bonus.

My friend and I had afternoon tea as part of a spa day. We had a window table and the view is beautiful. Afternoon tea was good quality with service which was attentive without being in your face. I am a bit obsessed with afternoon tea and have tried most of the big London venues and so the only thing I would say is you have to share some of the cakes rather than having an identical selection each which I prefer. Would definitely go back if I can bear the trump aspect (was in full flow the day we were there with the trump helicopter landing on the grass outside and some of Eric trumps "business associates" arriving)

5* from first to last. friendly staff who know their jobs inside out and wonderful food. This was a Mother's day treat and what a treat it was. The dining room has such a beautiful view and Sunday was the perfect day to enjoy it. Thank you to all.

Had a lovely time, the staff were fantastic, friendly, polite and efficient from the minute we arrived at the door until we left. The food was excellent and plentiful, didn't manage to eat it all but not a problem they put it in a box and gave us it to take home. Thank you to the chefs for the excellent food they prepared, definitely value for money.

Afternoon tea was the best ever, there were so many flavours and choices in the savories as well as sweet options, I could not fault one thing. Refills of tea provided as well. Oh the pianist is a fabulous touch The surroundings and views are worth visiting for alone

Lovely views excellent staff. Very comfortable room and good variety of food/drinks available. We did have coffee which arrived cold howevere they immediately changed it.

After arriving, we were rather peckish and decided on tea and scones for lunch as we had arranged dinner reservations and didn't want to spoil our appetites. Tea was piping hot and the scones were delicious, various jams and marmalades provided so every taste should be catered for. I am intending on returning with my daughter and high tea will certainly be on the menu x

Stopped for a snack, their sarnies are good value, afternoon tea is ok. Good choice of beers and extremely pleasant staff. Piano music sic on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Price wis for two about £50 including drinks

My sister, my husband and I brought our Aunt here for afternoon tea for her 80th birthday. From the moment we arrived, until we left, we could not have asked for more. The staff are truly exceptional. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious. My husband has Coeliac's Disease and was able to send his thanks to the kitchen for being able to provide such an excellent selection of items for him. My Aunt was truly impressed with this treat and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Thank you so much for making our day so special. We have experienced afternoon tea at both The Savoy and The Ritz in London but Trump Turnberry was by far the best.

Wonderful way to spend an afternoon - sitting by he huge window overlooking the golf course and the sea.Staff are very attentive and professional. Coffee is provided with hot milk, and as I take my coffee very weak, and extra jug of hot milk that was provided meant I was happily drinking coffee for about an hour. My partner chose tea and that was an amazing experience as the tea trolley is brought over with he most magnificent choice of teas that you could dream of. The tea waiter was very knowledgable on what to try and very patient while we made the choice. Cups are fine china, teaspoons are dainty and sugar comes in delightful little sugar bowls all designed to make it a really special experience. We didn't eat and were happy just sipping our drinks and admiring the view.Free wi-fi for the duration you are there if you need it.Price is reasonable for the wonderful experience of sitting in the magnificent window area watching the view and there is no rush from any of the waiting staff that you feel you need to get out.Somewhere to take someone special or just go with good friends for a relaxing chat.

breakfast with a view. plenty to choose from. we had the trump breakfast and could not fault it one bit and i love ma food.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience.Friendly staff from the minute you walk out of your car till you get back in.Gorgeous views across the sea and excellent service in a pristine yet relaxing atmosphere. On arrival we were greeted at the door and taken to the Grand Tea Hall by a very polite young man. Once our reservation was confirmed we were shown to a beautifully laid table complete with crisp linen. Our sommelier arrived soon after with menus asking if we had any dietary requirements. After giving us time to peruse the menu she returned to our table and asked our preferences for refreshments and explained the experience for us. When our drinks and savouries arrived to our table she advised that after enjoying our savoury items then warm scones, cream and jam would follow with fresh plates. The choice of teas, coffees, cocktails and fizz was extensive. The sweet selection was exquisite. Will certainly return.

My friend and i stayed here for 1 night . The deal included 1 nights stay with afternoon tea and breakfast . On our arrival we had our bags taken by staff at the front door and we were then escorted to the tea room. Walking in its bright warm and a lovely view . As we were seated we were presented with an afternoon tea menu but no choice was offred apart from tea. A young member of staff offered us tea from a selection on a trolley. I opted for the turnberry blend and my friend had coffee.As the tea was served the menus were whisked away and a gent appeared with a 3 tier stand with cakes and savory pies and we were told the scones come later.just as we were about to tuck in a lady member of staff approached us and asked if we needed anything and we both said no she took a few steps back and stayed there until we left i really felt uncomfortable.The next morning as we were seated for breakfast the same lady appeared and hovered over us again constantly and by this point i was so angry i felt out of place and this totally ruined my stay .

Great views from here over the golf course and water. The cocktail menu is very good - so many to chose from. The lemon meringue'tini was particularly amazing.They have bar snacks too which are a lot classier than other places I've been - pate, battered haddock, haggis... All presented and served well.Afternoon tea is also available which looked good and we promised ourselves we would return for that next year!

Beautiful location, and we have enjoyed afternoon tea here before, however this time there seemed to be a lack of "theatre" associated with the event. My husband had to ask for lemon to go with his Earl Grey tea, the savouries were very dry and rather tasteless.....we didn't eat them.....the scones were rather dense, and the sandwiches which were asked for specifically were not crustless.... I know this may sound rather trivial, but afternoon tea is an affair, and not an inexpensive one, however unsure whether we would have it again

My better half and I were out for a drive taking in the scenery when I remembered that Turnberry was near by, we decided we would stop by for lunch, we parked around the back of the amazing main building and as we walked towards the front door we were approached by a member of what we assume was the concierge team who welcomed us and explained the different restaurants and invited us to walk around the hotel freely to have a look at the new renovations. we decided to just have a light lunch and have a sandwich in The Grand Tea Lounge. The service was great from the waiters and the waitresses who were really polite. the salmon toasted sandwich was really nice great flavour and the desserts we had were really nice. Only grumbles would be that the chips that accompanied the sandwich seemed to be like the ones from the bottom of a really cheap bag of frozen skinny fries. the waitress was really accommodating and changed the mistake in my better half's sandwich and after I told the waiter about the chips they kindly took one of the desserts off the bill due to the low standard. The service was great highly recommend on that alone and the food was good also with exceptions.

Decided to treat ourselves to afternoon tea whilst in the area. Didnot disappoint one little bit.Despite no reservation we were shown to a window seat really swiftly. Staff could not have been more pleasant and attentive. Loved the theatre of the tea drawers and traditional samovar. Food was gorgeous and varied, couldn't finish it all but staff immediately offered to box food to take away with us. The views over the golf course and out to sea are fabulous. Would recommend afternoon tea at Turnberry as a special treat to anyone.

The famous Turnberry Afternoon Tea does not disappoint. The newly refurbished hotel is bright and welcoming, but the atmosphere totally relaxed. A choice of dozens of teas, and layers of savouries, scones and cakes. Just as well they offer to box up your leftovers to take away - you can rarely finish one of these! A great treat.

We were at the hotel over a weekend, not a big fan of afternoon teas - too many sweet cakes - so had bar snack instead. Limited choice but food OK. Problem was greasy tables and flies - a more professional approach is needed towards service and comfort before the guest experience will live up to the hotel's exceptional location and the recent investments that have enhanced the property.

Staying at TT for a few nights the GTL became our quiet haven in the Heart of the Hotel. One morning we just sat drinking Coffee whilst reading the Papers. Next day We had a superb light Lunch of sandwiches, Tea followed by a drink from the bar. On another day we returned from the Spa, still in Robes, and decided to have a glass of bubbly before heading upstairs to get changed for Dinner, 3/4 rounds of drink later we finally decided to move from our warm, cosy, serene surroundings!It is that good!

The afternoon tea was wonderful. An excellent selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes. All very tasty and beautifully presented. My compliments to the chef as it is now my favourite afternoon tea. We went for the champagne option which was wonderful.The service was exceptional our waiter was professional and friendly and he even told us a bit about the hotel history. The Grand Tea lounge is stunning with a lovely ambiance and beautiful views.

Came up to the bar at the house to have a gin and tonic in the splendour of the bar. Service and styling second to none with great view over the west. Pricey drinks but worth the experience

Staff excellent,view unique,food very good.Afternoon tea is very good,cakes etc made by a talented patisserie chef.A must go.

Lovely afternoon tea with beautiful views of the golf course and Ailsa Craig.Staff extremely attentive.various teas available.A very pleasant experience

Oh sitting in this grand tea lounge is just amazing ... The decor and attention to detail enables it to be named 'Grand' very professional staff plus the food was simply delicious ... so much we couldn't finishJust sampling the different types of teas was simply wonderful A must if you want an amazing experience with unbelievable views ... Tip l would book early to try and get a table by the huge Windows

Afternoon tea is just so nice and the tea trolley is a great touch.I love the value and choice of the afternoon tea.Champagne is a lovely addition.Service is great

Service slow and poor. Very disappointing. Read my full review on the hotels for more information. Basics not accomplished such as timely service !

Our two daughters decided to take their Dad there for Father's Day and I got to go too. Lucky me. It was superb. The staff were attentive and very informative about all the various tea on offer ( who knew there was that many to choose from ). The afternoon tea experience is a wonderful and thoughtful gift to give or to receive and one I would recommend to everyone. We will certainly be back. Ps we were so full up we didn't have dinner that night !!

Muy buen lugar para tomar una rica merienda con un paisaje único. Tiene gran variedad de tes y cosas para comer.

First class service from Alan Cree and the team.Good selection of delicious sandwiches and cakes/scones. Plenty to eat as well as they don't scrimp on the portions.
