Initially my hopes werent very high as it took 3 days and 4 phone calls for me to receive my confirmation email, which i was quite anxious about as i had booked a 1 night stay as a surprise for my husband who loves castles. However i asked for an upgrade which was given to us on checkin without any... more

We celebrated our wedding at Waterford Castle. They looked after us so well from the first time we contacted them right up to the moment we left on the morning after the wedding. Superb service, wonderful attention to detail and nothing was too much trouble for Adrian or any of the staff we dealt with. We had our civil ceremony... more

We stayed for 2 nights for a friend's birthday. We arrived late for dinner but were able to eat in the bar area, not because of the time but because our dress was too casual. I knew it would be nice, but it was almost stuffy. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The food was excellent, all meals. The grounds... more

I recently had the pleasure of staying overnight in Waterford Castle hotel & golf resort. The setting is magnificent and the castle itself just so well preserved and cosy. We had a magnificent 3 room suite, huge bedroom, lounge and bathroom, just wished we were staying longer. The staff from check-in, bar, restaurant, golf club were excellent, so friendly and... more

We wanted to stay in a castle during our trip to Ireland. After a lot of searching we found this one and reserved on the Castle site directly. They had some excellent specials. It was a typical Irish day when we arrived; cloudy and rainy, but very cool. It felt like we were stepping back in time. We stayed in... more

From the moment we arrived on the beautiful Island we felt we had arrived somewhere special. The drive to the Castle entrance is lush with beautiful trees and wildlife ( we were welcomed on the road by 2 deer! ). That was a lovely sight........Then you arrive at the beautiful Castle, surrounded by trees......... The reception area, with the open... more

My husband and I stayed at Waterford Castle for two nights at the beginning of September and from the moment we arrived we couldn't have been happier with our choice of hotel. The castle is magical and romantic and staying there was like taking a step back in time but with all the conveniences you would expect in a modern... more

No doubt it is cool to sleep in an 800 year old castle, but the room looked like it. Paint peeling from the bathroom ceiling was hardly in keeping with the snobbish attitude and high price of the accomodations. At one point a very hard working young man was serving as bellman, bartender, and waiter--literally running from one room to... more

We booked at 24 hours notice without any recommendations from family or friends. From reports we thought that it might be "quaint" hoping that this adjective didn't mean "damp needing a few coats of paint"! The first 15 minutes included a charming ferry ride to the island, followed by a short trip up the driveway to a fabulous facade on... more
