Reviews for Waterford Castle Hotel & Golf Resort

Waterford Castle is beyond spectacular

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Room was hot but it didn’t matter because everything else was spectacular. Sally at the front desk gave us great recommendations on things to do and David brought us drinks and made us feel so welcome. The clubhouse was perfect for a more relaxed meal but the formal meal at the castle was amazing. The bread was the best I’d ever eaten! I would recommend this venue 100%

Lovely hotel, staff and food

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Excellent location, beautifully maintained grounds in a peaceful setting. We were at a wedding and stayed in a lodge. Very comfortable, which catered for all our needs. Excellent service at the hotel, very pleasant and professional staff, couldn’t do enough for us.

10/10 group trip!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

I organised a trip for a group of friends and we had the best time! We stayed in the lodges which were in immaculate condition on arrival. The lodges are modern with lots of natural light coming through. We really enjoyed the grounds of the castle and it was very easy to get across to the mainland via the ferry. We ate our dinner and breakfast in the Clubhouse which was delicious and they had lots of options. The reception and admin team were so pleasant and responsive which made organising the trip so much easier! A big thank you to Gillian for all your help and assistance! I would love to stay again.

Unique

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

We would recommend staying here. We felt that the staff couldn’t do more for us they were lovely anything we needed they helped us with. The food was lovely we got bar food and really enjoyed it. Breakfast was lovely on both days lots of choices. We stayed in Ormonde Suite. At something in the future we would love to revisit.

Bar lunch.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

On March 19 2024, three of us decided, on a whim, to go to the Castle for lunch. The dining room was not available so we settled on bar lunch. It was probably one of the worst bar lunches I ever had. It was a very limited menu and it was not good to say the least. Something as basic as salad dressing was not available. ( salad on the side with absolutely NO dressing). Hard to believe. We ordered Chilli prawns that didn’t even pass by a chilli, a very basic, dehydrated burger and a rather grandiose sounding sandwich that materialised as a very, very basic toasted sandwich. All were accompanied by the worst fries I was ever served…. blackening and soggy. We were assured a chef actually prepared it!! We did complain to the very pleasant barman who brought our complaint to the kitchen. I actually felt embarrassed on the day that there were mainly American visitors there who, I’m sure, would have expected a whole lot better. When I got home, I sent my ‘complaint’ by email to the Castle. No reply! I emailed again to say I would be writing a public review… No reply! Communications seem to be an issue. I will give it a score of 1, only because of the very pleasant barman Dylan and a lovely girl named Lauren (I think I’ve got the name correct). Elizabeth Walsh. ( no relation to the proprietor!).

"My most recent trip was to Waterford Castle Golf & Country Resort in Ireland. I couldn't possibly say enough about this luxurious castle. The accommodations were outstanding as was the entire hotel staff. Each and every person catered to our every whim. Access to the island was made incredibly easy and enjoyable. The staff was always friendly and anxious to do whatever was required to make our stay perfect.
