The hotel is amazing and beautiful. Just like the pictures. The staff is excellent and attentive. The dining experience was wonderful. Golf on property is a bit lacking with dirty carts, not enough rental clubs but the staff was nice and the course was lovely.

10/10 Exceptional

The waterford castle did not disappoint! Beautiful property, ferry ride over to the private island and a friendly staff ready to tell you all about the wallabies and deer that share the island! The castle is gorgeous and the food is fine dining at its best! It is a true old castle so expect authenticity and a minor reduction in modern day amenities, but also know it is absolutely worth it! This stay made our trip highly memorable!

Very nice Castle Hotel. The experience is worth the stay. Don’t plan a a good shower, this was an issue. Rooms could do with a little TLC. Even with the above, you won’t regret staying here

Very beautiful castle hotel and property. It's on its own island and a free ferry brings you across the small river. Lovely. Food is fantastic. Extensive Breakfast is included (except my cappuccino). Staff is great. Romantic. There are large, modern "cottages" (like townhouses) for families or bigger groups.
