The castle was amazing. The service at the restaurant was poor. Out of several bottle of wine we ordered and slow service. Food was ok. The pigeon was the best part. We only ordered one desert, but we were charged for 2 three-course meals. We were undercharged due to a server hitting the wrong button on the machine, but then we were hounded later that night and the next day to pay the $70 difference. We left a £30 cash tip and the server pocketed that too. Extremely rude and unprofessional. Not how you treat guests when mistakes are made by the staff.

Amazing experience
We stayed at the Waterford castle for 4 nights. Loved every minute of it. Gorgeous views and excellent service. Had breakfast daily in the gorgeous sun room where the meals were especially catered for us. The views from the castle were amazing, beautiful sunsets. Our favorite room was the Rose Suite. Spacious and such a comfortable bed. Staff would go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and to meet your needs. I would recommend staying at Waterford Castle.

It is a lovely place to stay. Being on the island takes you away from the hustle and bustle. We took this as a “pause” from our tour of Ireland. David in the bar and Antonio in the restaurant go out of there way to make sure you enjoy your stay. Feel like an Earl!

Amazing Dinner
The castle and the ground are magnificent and the rooms beautiful. I have traveled extensively over the last 40 years, and then that time I have had no finer meal, then was served at the castle for dinner. Clearly the work of one of the finest chefs imaginable.
