We could only get one night here, arguably it was probably the best stay of our trip and we wish we could have had two nights. The grounds are beautiful and it is very peaceful and quiet on the little island. Our room was absolutely the castle experience we desired. Must add dinner and breakfast, it was very elegant and the personal touch and care were amazing.

If you desire to be King and Queen for a night, this is the Castle for you. The staff are very helpful and the experience is authentic. All of the staff should be recognized, but a special shout to Fionn for explaining that the item I was preparing to eat like a granola bar, was in fact NOT a granola bar..... Great laughs.

It was fabulous. Beautiful place, lovely staff, food was super delicious. We paid €950 for 2 fabulous nights B&B & dinner. We were annoyed we were asked to pay €13 for an omelette at breakfast. Please consider changing this. Otherwise a fab experience. Pat & Mary Gaynor

"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.
