Former Castle Hotels in Wexford

The castle was built in the 15th century. The 50ft high tower dates back to 1470, built by Thomas Hay, a descendant of Richard. In 1641, the owner, George Cheevers, was involved in the siege of Duncannon and the Confederation of Kilkenny. He was then dispossessed by Cromwell after the Sacking of Wexford. The castle was given to Cromwell's soldier, Colonel Bunbury, as payment of service. Guests are free to explore the Castle and its premises, enjoy the magnificent view atop the tower or go for an afternoon stroll around the farms.

Waterford Castle Hotel boasts a long history since it was first built during the 15th century. Situated on a private island, the castle largely maintains its initial splendour and grandeur, as guests can admire the carved stone and wood paneled hall as well as the original tapestries. The decoration of the 19 elegant bedrooms reflects the atmosphere of the castle as it used to be some hundred years ago, offering gracious yet modern comforts and making it ideal for a romantic stay or a lavish wedding ceremony.
