Waterford Castle Hotel & Golf Resort

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. 🩵

I received a voucher for afternoon tea at Waterford castle. It was really delicious, excellent service, great choice of teas and the best scones I've ever tasted. Great treat. The castle itself is very well kept and the history is interesting. I thought there were more gardens to view for day trip visit albeit a nature walk. But the grounds are well managed and for golfers it looks like a good resort. Ferry back and forth to island is easy.

Everyone deserves a night in a castle, right? From the moment our car left the ferry & we stepped onto the resort "island", we loved Waterford Castle! The setting, trails, birds, flowers, trees- it was just like a Disney movie. (My husband said he wished we would've stayed here the whole time we were in Ireland.) After a hectic day of flying into Dublin then driving to Waterford, the entire experience was a respite. Gorgeous furnishings throughout. Great customer service. Huge, well-appointed room. We did take-out from the golf clubhouse & ate dinner in our room. Walked along the river on the trails. Quiet evening and we were fast asleep in the comfy KING bed. Just when we think it couldn't get better- THE BREAKFAST ROOM. Simply stunning! The most beautiful breakfast setting we've ever seen. Buffet of pastries, cereals, juices, coffees & fruit along with a cooked to order menu- and all of that was included in our stay. It was magnificent. Can't say enough about this place.

My husband and I had our wedding reception here in April and it was an unbelievable experience from start to finish. The venue is so beautiful, inside and out. We were able to take stunning couple's photos on the grounds and the dining room and reception area were perfect for our celebrations. The bedrooms are luxurious and unique, all the guests who stayed were so impressed! The staff are beyond helpful and Antonio really went above and beyond to keep the whole day running smoothly. Our wedding coordinator, Gillian, was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. Nothing was ever an issue for her and she made us feel very safe and confident that our day would be a success. I really can't thank everyone at Waterford Castle enough for creating the most memorable day for us both and our friends and family.

Excellent stay at Waterford Castle! Stayed for 3-nights in late May and the weather was fantastic, although since it was warmer than usual the first-floor rooms were a bit warm and had to use fans. Nevertheless, beautiful property with very good service (especially the breakfast). Also, played a round of golf on a very nice, scenic course. Very enjoyable stay with wildlife (deer and wallaby!) Highly recommend this property......although a popular busy wedding destination.

Waterford Castle is hands down the most wonderful place! The setting is exquisite and we were so thrilled to be able to have it as our wedding venue! Gillian the wedding coordinator is unbelievable, she is always there to help, nothing is ever any trouble and her calm demeanour throughout the entire experience made it such a pleasure to plan! Not only Gillian but the entire team at WC are amazing, special shout-out to Marie, Antonio and of course Kal behind the bar! The staff are always so friendly and made us feel so special every time we stayed! Our friends and family were in awe of the delicious food served at our wedding and could not stop raving about the service! Not to mention the amazing accommodation in the castle and the nearby lodges! It’s so lovely that there is space for everyone, no one has to leave the island and the exclusivity of the entire castle makes it so much more special! Everything is impeccable, the food, service, staff, venue….Gillian even managed to make it stop raining for the big day! Waterford Castle is such a magical place and it is a privilege to get married there, and wonderful to know that you can return again and again to celebrate more happy occasions! We cannot recommend it enough! We know we were not their only wedding but WC have always made us feel so special, like we were the most important people to ever cross the arch doors and for that we are truly grateful! We cannot wait to return again to the place where we were treated like family and friends!Waterford Castle in the island will always hold such a special place in our hearts!

We were fortunate enough to have our wedding at Waterford Castle. To say our expectations were surpassed would be a massive understatement! From our first viewing, it was clear that Waterford Castle is a place where attention to detail and excellent customer service are paramount. Gillian simply is peerless in her role. Her recommendation of suppliers brought us in contact with the most professional, talented vendors. Gillian was always available to us for any questions we had. She definitely guided us to make sure that we were on the right track! On the day, she was so kind and attentive. She liaised with all our vendors which made our day as relaxing as could be. When we arrived to Waterford Castle for our wedding, ourselves and our guests were so well looked after. Each member of staff was friendly, engaging and professional. Our guests raved about the food, the activities and the unique surroundings. Antonio in the dining room and Cal behind the bar could not have done enough for us. Antonio even brought my husband a second steak at dinner! The castle rooms and lodges are spacious and very well maintained. We had our day two in the golf club which is a lovely space. Stephen could not have done more for us, even bringing a speaker outside for when our music finished up. We could not be more delighted that we booked our wedding at Waterford Castle and are so grateful to each member of staff who made our day so special!

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.
