Waterford Castle Hotel & Golf Resort in Waterford

The dream wedding venue that we could have only wished for. This was unlike any venue we’d seen before (and we’ve been to a lot!). The pictures speak for themselves, but what deserves a callout is the amazing hospitality and welcome faces that greeted every one of our guests throughout the stay. The privacy and closeness afforded by the island, the lodges and the clubhouse were unrivalled. It truly felt like we had our own space to celebrate with the people who mattered most to us. Gillian, the castle’s wedding coordinator, made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible. Her expertise were evident from day 1 as she made sure every base was covered, putting us at complete ease so all we had to do was focus on ourselves on the day. Antonio who managed the service was also fantastic and willing to help at every opportunity (extending even outside of his remit). We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with. A surefire consideration for couples looking to add something completely unique and inherently Irish to their special day. Not a bad word to say. I wish we could do it all again! Aaron & Antonia

There is no question that the location of this hotel is second to none. Stunning surroundings and the castle itself looks like something from a movie when you pull up. The food is amazing, one of the best meals we had on our trip. The service was also very good. My issue is that the hotel is very rundown and old. Items broken, worn out, threadbare carpeting everywhere, broken elevator, no HVAC so a constant damp feeling and odor. It needs a complete overhaul inside. That said, it is a magical place location and with some renovation will be hard to beat.

Peaceful getaway. Total relaxation. Beautiful bedroom in the castle, roll top, deep bath. Lovely log fire & couches in reception. Friendly helpful staff at every turn. Exceptional breakfast. Fully recharged and happy. Would recommend for a tranquil 24hrs. The break started as soon as we got onto the ferry to the island.

A wonderful place for a relaxed treat. We just went for coffee in the afternoon, it was a beautiful day to sit in the garden and enjoy the surroundings, but the interior looks very comfortable too. Do book in advance or you'll have to pay to get across on the chain ferry.

Was at a 40th wedding anniversary in the golf club. Wonderful time couldn't fault anything. Love having to get the short ferry ride over to te island. 😍

Beautiful castle on a private island. Access to the island is very chain ferry which run consistently. The island is home to some different wildlife, we spotted an albino walabee! The lodges were clean and tidy and spacious. The staff friendly and attentive. Lovely venue

Excellent experience all round. Spacious spotless rooms, wide varied menu, keenly priced beautiful walks, a pleasant experience.

Nice cottage..fair price..Good golf

We spent 4 nights at the golf lodges and played the course twice. We enjoyed playing the course which was in great shape and pretty challenging. Staff were lovely and very welcoming. The clubhouse is a nice place for early dinner after golf. Overall a lovely place to visit.

This was the most fantastic, amazing experience ever. My brother got married here and it was the most incredible wedding I have ever been to. My jaw dropped when we pulled up. The staff was so nice and friendly. The most amazing staff member was Cal (Calogero Di Fina Lupe), bar manager. He made the night even more special. I found myself gravitating to toward he bar not only for more drinks but to simply talk and hangout with him. He went out of his way to make sure we all had a great time. At one point I ordered a drink and was going to come back to get it after the Irish dancers, and he came and found me amongst all the guests to give it to me. He also makes a fantastic espresso martini!! Best I have had all trip. I searched until I could find him on social media- as he quickly became more like a friend than a bar manager. Missing him and this fantastic experience more than ever. 🩵
