Waterford Castle Hotel & Golf Resort

We spent two nights here at this wonderful castle hotel. We stayed in the Kildare room. The castle has been restored to a very luxurious standard and no detail has been overlooked or expense spared. Everywhere you look is beautiful and in tip top condition. It is also very warm for a castle on a chilly weekend in October which has not always been our experience in other castle stays we have taken. The grounds are stunningly beautiful and peaceful. The ferry to the island is also charming - something different and the level of the river constantly changing adds to the experience. This really is a special hotel in a gorgeous setting. The staff were lovely and the breakfast delicious. This is a beautiful place for your special occasion celebration. There is lots to do in nearby Waterford and in the surrounding areas to explore and make the most of your visit to this gorgeous part of the country.

Self-Catering Lodges Just back from short stay in Waterford Castle lodge. Had been here before and knew what to expect. Fire was on when we walked in and room lovely and toasty. Unpacked and went to head up to Clubhouse bar for some casual food around 5pm only to find it closed. I had tried to ring and reserve table earlier on in the week ,left message on answering machine and got no call back. This was not flagged to us and website stated that Clubhouse bar was open daily and would cater to every taste. Plan B meant we had to eat in the Fitzgearld Room Bar as we did not want a full dinner menu. Menu limited but adequate. Bar was cold and with only an electric fire placed in the beautiful fireplace - light on but no heat coming from it. Finished our meal and headed back to the warmth of our lodge. I'm glad we didn't have children with us as the menu in bar wouldn't have suited plus it was way overpriced for what it was. If we had realised that there would be a problem with food availability , we could have eaten elsewhere before coming to island or brought our own self-catering dishes. On check-out, receptionist just took our keys and never bothered to ask about our stay- poor marks!!

This castle is beautiful and is in a stunning setting. Everyone was very pleasant. We had help carrying our heavy suitcases to our rooms. The restaurant was cozy and the food was delicious.

We just had our intimate wedding at Waterford Castle last week and I am beyond grateful on how everything turned out!!🥰💕✨️ We stayed in the castle on February to get a feel of the whole venue, and we knew right then and there that Waterford Castle is the perfect place for our wedding. 🌸✨️ At first contact with their wedding coordinator, Gillian, it was so smooth and efficient. She was so clear and helpful with everything that we needed for our wedding celebration. She was excellent with communication and accomodating with our requests. We exchanged a loooot of emails, for there were many changes in our plan but she was patient and understanding to welcome our requests. She even facilitated the flow of the day and helped us keep track on the sequence of events. We stayed in the Presidential suite and OMG, that suite was huge! It gave us a real castle feel and we got everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spotless and the view was phenomenal! Overall, it was such a pleasure to stay in! Our friends stayed in the castle rooms and they said the same thing, it's comfortable and beautiful. One of the best things that made us choose Waterford Castle as our wedding venue was the food!! We had dinner there on February and we were instantly blown away by how delicious everything was! I couldn't forget the crispy oyster that I had! Then, on our wedding dinner, all of our guests commended the food, from the starters to the dessert, everything tasted lovely. Even one of my chef guest said that the food was exquisite! I guess the overall experience was really topnotch because of the staff who went all the way to give us a memorable and magical event. Marie, who was always attentive with our needs in the dinner was on top of her game. We even had to change some things on the reception but nothing was a bother for her. The receptionists who checked us in were so friendly and funny, cracking jokes as they carried loads of our stuff to the suite. The servers were so kind and always smiling, we felt we're so well looked after. The bartender also prepared perfectly the shots we requested for our guests. The housekeeping staff made sure our suite was neat and tidy and we had fresh towels and toiletries everytime we need them. Looking back at how our wedding day went, I'd give Waterford Castle a thousand stars if I could! 🥰✨️🌸 They went up and above on how a great hospitality should be done.😊

Booked to celebrate 30 year anniversary and it didn’t disappoint. Outside our usual price range but worth every cent. Got lots of brownie points with my wife for this stay. The suite was worth the extra price as was the dinner. The staff were outstanding catering to our every whim, especially Antonio. Highly recommend and forever grateful
