We stayed one evening here during a recent trip to Ireland and it was a great experience. We made reservations for a last minute internet deal that included breakfast and dinner, which helped keep the expense down. The staff was wonderful and the dinner was fantastic. The rooms and bathrooms were huge and nicely decorated. more

We stayed here for a long weekend in summer and I cannot recommend it enough! This place is truly special, unlike anywhere else you will ever visit. From the moment you drive on board the hotel's ferry to bring you to the island (which operates 24 hours a day and only takes a minute to bring you across), you feel... more

From start to finish theJune bank holiday weekend at Waterford Castle Hotel was brillant! Too many highlights to mention. We are a family of five, mum & Dad, 4 yr old boy, 2 yr old boy and a 9 month old baby girl. The hotel is situated on a 310 acre island and the 5 minute ferry trip to the... more

My friend and I hadn't seen each other in a while and decided to spend a night away. We were looking for a comfortable hotel, in a lovely location with great food. She suggested Waterford Castle, she lives in Kilkenny and had heard that it had recenlty changed management. It was a pleasure from start to finish. There was great... more

Arrived April 8, 2009 for two nights. The castle is on an island so you arrive by car ferry for a five minute ride. Quiet beyond belief! Deer grazing outside our window each morning. Our bedroom was spacious but the bathroom was the largest I've ever seen! Every effort was made to accommodate our every wish. Typical Irish breakfast or... more

Really enjoted our stay at Waterford castle. The lobby is so luxurious with its limestone walls, plush carpets and colour scheme of grey and cream. The rooms seem to vary in size and decor- I suppose castles cant exactly knock walls in to incease space. We got a suite but I was also in some of the other rooms. Overall... more

We reviewed, found, and booked our 3 day stay at the Waterford Castle via the internet. It looked wonderful, and just what we were looking for a portion of our stay in Ireland. It gave us a base to go exploring during the daytime, both on the island, and in Southeast Ireland. We walked around the estate, we shot skeet,... more

I stayed at Waterford Castle recently for the first time with my husband. We had decided to take a short break away for Paddy's Weekend and chose waterford a location,  so close to Dublin but somewhere neither of us had ever explored before. We arrived to the Castle just before dusk and were delighted with the experience of taking a... more

OK we got a winter break at a faction of the "normal" cost. Our room was normally over 500€ per night for a double room with breakfast. For that they should be offering something seriously good, and fell short. Even at their winter break price it fell seriously short. Dinner for two is also seriously expensive at about €170 for... more
