“As lovely as ever”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Unfortunately this time we didn't stay in the hotel but returned just for a meal there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We held our wedding reception in Waterford Castle a few years ago. The food was as good as we remembered and being in the lovely Munster Room brought back fabulous memories. My husband had a lovely risotto to start,... More

Ours was a modern three bedroom with three and a half baths and a full kitchen, fireplace. Very nicely appointed. We only wished we had more time to enjoy this property. The breakfast was very good...all... More

Stayed in a 4 bed lodge for the weekend. Houses are fantastic, very well laid out, beds very comfortable ! Lady at reception was very welcoming and helpful ! Had dinner in the golf clubhouse as there was a wedding in the castle itself. Food was very reasonably priced and tasted fantastic ! Will stay again, beautiful spot !!

“Do not stay unless owners renovate and repair.”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

We travel a lot and stay in all classes of hotels, from inexpensive Budget hotels to Luxurious resorts. If you look at my reviews on tripadvisor you will see that I only give bad reviews if they are deserved. This one is deserved, so don't ignore it. 1. This was a terrible facility. It is horribly in need of a... More

Dear Reviewer Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It was disapointing to read and I offer my apologies for indeed letting you down. A renovation programme has already been discussed and there are plans to execute this in the near future. I have made notes of your points and we will be giving them our attention. However I... More

Myself and my wife stayed overnight in Waterford Castle on Sunday 07-05-2013. Our children paid for this overnight with B & B & evening meal + bottle of wine on arrival included. It was part of a 60 th. birthday present for my wife Marian. This stay was paid for weeks in advance by my children. Bad idea, ie. paying... More
