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

to get started.

Really neat to take ferry to property and to walk the paths both days . Breakfast was sumptuous- very relaxing in green house like room. Very relaxing to take a light dinner in the golf course club house .

The grounds were gorgeous...the staff was so attentive and our room in the castle was storybook perfect! Had dinner in the dining room which was delicious!

Deb, United States of America

Beautiful!! Would have liked to stay longer. Lodges are great for families. Has all the amenities you need.

Karen, United States of America

We loved exploring the woods and garden surrounding the hotel, and the real wood burning fireplace was perfect after a 5 star dinner.

Rv, United Arab Emirates

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

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!

Staff could have been a little more friendly in the hotel. There was no where to get anything to eat after 6:00 except in a 4 course dining room with no vegan options. We tried to eat at the golf club restaurant but was told it was reserved for golfers. As we were leaving, thinking we would have to get in the car and leave the island a man from the golf club said we could go eat in the banquet room where they were hosting a function. He served us from the menu. It was very nice of him.
The castle concept was lovely.

Nothing. Third time there, everything was as expected. This is a super boutique castle hotel experience, with lovely drawing rooms, and dining hall.
Breakfast was excellent, located in a conservatory with lead-paned windows and glass roof overlooking the gardens, the variety was excellent, and the service superb.

Stayed in the lodges. Water pump was super loud - had to be broken. Did laundry when went to bed, water filling the washer screeched for 45 min and every time any water was turned on, shower, toilet, everything. Explained at check out and they offered nothing for the trouble.
Beautiful!! Would have liked to stay longer. Lodges are great for families. Has all the amenities you need.

there was the sound of a "fan" on constantly from the locked room opposite the separate shower room/beside the hot water switch. It was a bit distracting at night and we could not find the switch to turn it off
relaxing atmosphere from first greeting in hotel reception. Staff "old-world" professional and friendly. loved location of lodge 39. Not sure I would have like a lodge in the centre block!
