Unbelievable experience!!! What a dream to hop on the ferry to your private island and the amazing Waterford Castle! We were greeted by the amazing Sally at reception who could tell just how excited we were to be here and was so welcoming, as was all the staff. The Suite (Executive) was incredible with all of the period features you would expect in a Castle. I woke up to spotting Snowy - the albino wallaby - out of our window! Dinner and breakfast were both incredible, as was the service. We couldn't fault anything. And yes, Guinness tastes better in a Castle

Amazing Castle stay and stunning restoration of original architecture. The food was wonderful as well. Highly recommend. Walk the trail, have a pint by the fire, look for the albino wallaby on the island. Grab a pint at the Fitzgerald bar and enjoy the beauty.

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 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!

"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.
