My wife and I booked a 1-night stay in Waterford Castle as part of a Covid Staycation tour this month. From the outset the welcome and friendliness of all the staff was fantastic, the Castle room was lovely and full of character and the whole atmosphere of the place was wonderful. So much so that we immediately booked for a second night and were extremely well looked after in this regard.
We availed of the fine dining option on our first night and the food and service were first class. We had casual dining on the second night and it was also superb. I would also mention that the breakfast was the best of all the hotels we stayed in on our trip.
I played the golf course and it was in very good condition in a beautiful setting.
All in all we had a terrific experience and will definitely be back.

We recently stayed in Waterford Castle and could not recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived the staff were nothing but welcoming and helpful. The Castle is amazing along with the beautiful walks around the island. The food was delicious and our only issue was we could not stay longer. Also for those who golf my partner really enjoyed the course and even saw some deer in the early hours teeing off. Fantastic break and really look forward to staying with you again soon

"Exceeded Expectations"
I stayed here last week and was very impressed with the castle and it well exceeded my expectations. It is an authentic Castle and the rooms are sizeable, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom was beautiful with a free standing bath in it. Dinner was very good in the beautiful dining room overlooking the deer in the gardens, I walked the scenic route of the grounds while my husband walked the golf course and both amenities were excellent. Staff were friendly and as the grounds are extensive, I would recommend the lodges for larger groups/families. A delightful stay and I would not hesitate returning.

Gorgeous views from every point in the castle.
The Waterford Castle Hotel and Golf Resort is simply wonderful. Gorgeous views of the Waterford area from all areas of the hotel. Once in Waterford it is a very quick ferry ride over to the hotel. The golf course is beautiful and in wonderful shape to play 18 holes. The service was great as was the food. Felt very special here.
