Waterford Hotel Guide - Historic Hotels in Waterford, Ireland

Apart from one feature, everything about this hotel was exceptional. A truly memorable stay. Very relaxing environment with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the landscaped hotel grounds. Lovely pool and spa with a variety of outdoor activities available. Pretty historic village setting in sandy bay with cliff top walks. Room accommodation stylish and comfortable. Very friendly and obliging staff. Breakfasts were great. The barman's special mango margarita was a treat and the Michelin-starred restaurant was an artistic feast.

We stayed in the lodges, not the castle. And we could not have been more pleased. Granted, there were only 2 of us, but we each had our own bedroom, a full kitchen, laundry, and 3 1/2 bathrooms. We went to the castle for a drink and really enjoyed our time. The golf course was beautiful also. The hotel is on an island, and you have to ferry your car over. It really was my favorite hotel of all of the hotels we stayed at while in Ireland.

We were there just overnight so it worked well for us. Easy to locate near the river. Walked along the main street by the river and found a place to eat dinner then walked to Reginald's Tower. Parking in back was nice. The building was really pretty inside. Room was small but had most everything we needed. Only thing it really could have used was more outlets. This is the only guesthouse I've stayed in so not sure how they're supposed to be, but it was just a step up or so from the hostels we'd been at (the other half of the building is a hostel), which isn't to say it's bad. Breakfast was great, the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Room was clean but basic.
