The Island, X91 Y722 Waterford, Ireland –

Lock in a great price for Waterford Castle Hotel & Golf Resort – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

The pictures don't do this place justice, Amazing facility, great staff, and good food.

Mohammed, Ireland

The Falconry, clay pigeon shooting and afternoon tea were a must. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was excellent!

Richard, Guam

Accomodation had beautiful outlook onto golf course with deer’s wandering the course.

Catherine, Australia

We loved the unique location and the privacy on the island. The castle is beautiful and the grounds are also. We stayed in the Lodges and it was an excellent place for a family of 5 to stay. We loved our stay.

Bree, Germany

One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. There was an issue with booking but they quickly rectified the issue and exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent and the staff was so nice and accommodating. Our kids loved it! They even drew pictures for the staff!

Jill, Ireland

The location and castle itself are fantastic. Staff are friendly and helpful. Although the rooms are a bit dated and worn, they are comfortable and feel like putting on a favorite pair of slippers after wearing tight shoes all day! Was a great experience for us!

Kelly, Canada

Dinner at the restaurant was fabulous! The chef truly does an amazing job with the food and the presentation. I loved this property. We stayed in one of the lodges, which is a walk away from the castle. We were two couples and the lodge really was conducive to multiple couples staying there. I would consider staying there a few days longer in the future, as opposed to just 1 day, like we did this time. I'd like to enjoy the property a bit more and the surrounding areas.

Isabelle, United States of America

Fantastic property... golf, walking, deer... loved the grounds. The castle hotel itself was lovely. Beautiful inside, staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast and wonderful dinner in the dining room. Had an afternoon tea yesterday that was very nice. Our room was lovely, 3rd floor so prepare for stairs unless you request a lower floor. Had a great stay, thank you!

Carol, United States of America

This was one of the most unique and beautiful properties I have stayed at. The ferry to the island was convenient and should be no deterrent in booking. The food was the best we had in Ireland and the whole atmosphere was truly marvelous. We wish we could’ve stayed longer and enjoyed the golf course.

Stephan, United States of America

The houses were a good size so there was plenty of room for a big group. The houses are also very well equipped with everything we needed. The island is a very nice setting.
