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.

We've been traveling in Italy for thirteen days and now in Ireland for another nine days. The Waterford Castle has been by far the best hotel we've stayed in regardless of price (Rome was more expensive). The dinner was perhaps the best meal, all things considered we've ever had and I've traveled all over the world. If you want a unique experience where you will be spoiled beyond your expectations, book the Waterford Castle.
