Having proposed to my girlfriend thought this was a great way to spend the night. Fantastic castle, beautiful grounds and getting the short ferry across put the icing on the cake! Booked a room plus dinner which I thought was very good value. Food was lovely but there was a draft at table in the conservatory and were glad to leave to warm up. We were asked by the very attentive waitor (probably over attentive) on the way out were we cold but it was too late. Room was lovely the only thing was that it was two single beds pushed together which if 2 people are getting away for a romantic weekend takes away from and its not the most comfortable. Last minor thing I did email the hotel and ask if they could do something special in the room because we were getting engaged but never got a reply (perhaps people try that on all the time but did say I would pay for it). Anyway thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend a stay.

I brought my husband to Waterford Castle for a meal for his birthday and it was so special, a meal we will remember for a long time. The dining room was beautiful,high ceilings,beautiful decor,tasteful music,attentive staff and most important spectacular food.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone for a special occasion as we were made to feel like we were the only people in the whole castle and we will definitely return in the summer to explore the walks around the castle grounds.

Although we only stayed for one night in this hotel, it was a fabulous experience! The room we had was spacious and clean, and very quiet. It was our first time staying in a castle and you really knew you were in an old medieval building from the moment you walked into the lobby. The staff were very friendly and chatty. The food was excellant as well. The main hotel only has 19 rooms in total, so be sure to book well in advance. It would be an ideal location for a small wedding also as it would provide great intimacy for a group.

Waterford Castle is an amazing hotel in a genuine castle on the outskirts of Waterford city. From the moment you enter this comfortable oasis you'll feel cared for from the huge welcoming fire to the well porportioned bedrooms with their antique furniture and the friendly and very helpful staff are so welcoming. The dining room serves up some of the best hotel food I've ever tasted and the breakfast, served in the conservatory, will fill you for the day - they even have a "fish of the day" choice on the breakfast menu! It can be pretty expensive but visit their website as they do deals from time to dine that include 2 or 3 nights B&B plus a dinner - at very affordable prices. It's a great location if you're visiting Waterford or touring around the South-East and it's an experience you will not forget. Cant wait to get abck there again!
