I love this place. We go here at least once a year and have for the last 5 years. We stay in the lodges. I've yet to stay in the castle but based on discussions from people I've met they say it's worth checking in to check it out.
The car ferry across is a nice exciting perk for the kids.
The island itself is full of wildlife and there are some lovely walks including a "hedgehog hotel".
It's locality to the city is fantastic. It's also a good staging point for road trips to Dunmore east, Tramore, etc.
Look out for the deals on the website, they are fantastic value.
We stayed in one of the lodges and it was amazing! So spacious and and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and the castle and scenery were gorgeous. Highly recommend and the little boat trip accress was an experience. The boats run all night and its very handy to use
Lovely castle and a great venue for our friends wedding. Rooms are luxurious and well equipped. The island has a great walking track for those wanting a bit of exercise, and a golf course(which we didn't use)
Beautiful environment, very professional management. I like the new track running along the perimeter of the island: a trail 8 km long for a marvelous walk with stunning views and wild fauna
Love, love, love this place!! Just spent two weeks driving all over England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland, stayed in eight different hotels during my 1500 miles of driving, and this place was by far my favorite place to stay. Gorgeous island, beautiful castle, elaborate rooms, fantastic five course meal, and a lovely bar.
Played a round here. Really like getting the ferry across to the island and the course was in great shape. Highly recommended
Fantastic setting very well laid out very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Well worth a visit. Fab wedding venue
We had dinner in the castle the evening we arrived and it was a lovely 7-course formal dining experience. Then we stayed in the lodge, which was 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, kitchen, dining, and living room. Everything was provided and in too shape. Extremely good experience. One thing I missed when reserving the room was that you must take a ferry to the castle island. It runs every 15 minutes during the day so it's not a problem, but worth knowing in advance.
Great spot, but if there's a wedding on, you won't be able to use all the facilities.
Wonderful hotel. The ferry to get to the island was kind of odd but nothing bad about it. The food was very good and the room was fantastic!
Stay here regularlytranquil spotbeautiful island. Staff and service excellent.
Unbelievably beautiful castle, hotel, and resort. From the ferry ride to get to the island where Waterford castle resides to the wild deer on the island, everything feels magical. We stayed a night for my wife's birthday and I reserved my room ahead of time and booked the "King and Queen for a Night" package, which was worth ever penny! I called and asked the staff to help me make this a special night for my wife and they went above and beyond to accommodate my request. Our room was amazing, well furnished, and very clean. The restaurant was very nice and the food was worthy of a place that made you feel like royalty. There is also a quint bar onsite with a very nice whisky menu, including some rare/vintage bottles to sample. My wife and I were so very impressed with Waterford castle and its' staff that we vowed to come back and stay here whenever we are in Southeastern Ireland. We have even decided that when we renew our vows on our 20th anniversary that we will do so at Waterford castle. If I could give this place six stars I would, it is truly amazing!
Lovely hotel, rooms nice and comfortable if not a bit dated. Food very good for both breakfast and evening meal. The free ferry to the island is good fun and runs all the time
