The Turnberry Resort

Superb five-star hotel with unsurpassed golf and conference facilities

This five star 221-bedroom resort is situated in eight hundred acres of stunning countryside in the south west of Scotland.

It is the ideal venue for client/company conferences or incentives, as it can offer unrivalled facilities in terms of accommodation, meeting rooms and of course championship golf on the two world class links courses, as well as excellent dining and a spa.
