Waterford Castle

Beautiful grounds, great drinks in bar. Breakfast was just okay—excellent restaurants in town.

This place put everyone else to shame. We stayed in one of the cottages. There was deer on the greens when we arrived. The apt was wonderful for our family of 5. 3 large double beds and 3 bathrooms plus a kitchen for the family. Honestly wish we would have stayed here longer. If you are on the fence about booking this place, go ahead, you won't regret it.

Great. Only complaint was the lodge was ROASTING hot during the night. Made for an unpleasant sleep but I'm sure things could have been resolved had we been staying more than one night.

We thought we had a room at the castle but it turned out to be the lodges. Was never asked if we wanted to at least be shown the castle. No touletries in our lodge.

The Waterford Castle Hotel complex is quite unique. Most accommodations are down the road from the "Castle," in stand-alone units. Our accommodation was a three bedroom unit with fire-place, w/d, and full kitchen. After a few weeks in hotels, it was great having a kitchen again. It was extraordinarily comfortable for our family of three. The Castle has a restaurant and bar, but we didn't patronize either (one night it was closed due to a wedding). I believe there is also a clubhouse associated with the golf course, and spa. The entire complex is located on an island with around the club ferry service (takes about 15 minutes to cross including waiting time). This hotel is about 15 minutes (drive) from downtown Waterford.
