Reviews for Waterford Castle Hotel & Golf Resort

Amazing Castle Wedding

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

My husband and I eloped here with the help of the people of Eloping in Ireland. Our stay here was absolutely amazing and our ceremony was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We stayed with a few friends and family and got to take in the beauty of both the grounds and the castle. Their meals were exquisite down to the last details and the staff was warm and very helpful. Such a wonderful experience and I am grateful for the role the staff had to play in our special day.

Fantastic Hotel with a World Class Restaurant

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Fantastic Experience we really enjoyed our break here, we plan to return in the summer when the weather is better to try the golf course. Really good hotel with top class service at check in, restaurant, bar and breakfast. The rooms was lovely, really big and well equipped. The food was fantastic, worth going there for the dining experience alone. Breakfast was very nice also Looking forward to going back here again

We eloped here with a small group of family and it was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. The staff made us feel welcomed and the overall ambiance was really incredible. Nothing but good things to say. Keep an eye out for the albino wallaby!

Great Gluten Free Afternoon Tea

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Getting a ferry to your hotel is a sure way to start the trip well. Beautiful Castle and grounds, lovey and attentive staff. Our rooms were superb, exactly what you would want when staying at a castle hotel and I have to say the most beautiful toilet and sink! I was delighted with the gluten free afternoon tea, bread was dry but no where seems to be able to get gluten free bread right at afternoon teas, cocktails delicious and the dinner was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. In fairness the only downside to our trip was we were expecting an a la carte breakfast menu and there was a buffet on in the morning with a delay on food, we had to get up numerous times from our table to see if some of the food options, particularly eggs had been brought out. When we brought this to the attention of the reception staff on check out they apologised and said there was a wedding taking place and the buffet was set up to accommodate them but that we could have ordered a la carte if we wished, unfortunately this was not the case as there were no menus on display and when we were being seated after giving our room number we were told it was a buffet breakfast, which we hate, so that was disappointing. The smoothie shots were a nice touch though :) So minus a wedding party ruining your breakfast Waterford Castle is a beautiful spot and should absolutely be added to your 'must stay' list.

A wonderful experience!! Exceptional food & service.

Prior to Christmas we visited the magical Castle. We dined for lunch and the ambiance was delightful. They clearly put a lot of effort into their decorations and every staff member we encountered couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. It was warm and inviting and we definitely plan to return.

"My most recent trip was to Waterford Castle Golf & Country Resort in Ireland. I couldn't possibly say enough about this luxurious castle. The accommodations were outstanding as was the entire hotel staff. Each and every person catered to our every whim. Access to the island was made incredibly easy and enjoyable. The staff was always friendly and anxious to do whatever was required to make our stay perfect.
