Our location on a Private Island just minutes from Waterford City offers an amazing opportunity to relax and enjoy the wonders that are available when you travel in Ireland. Our 310-acre Island Resort offers activities such as nature trails, golf and more, with casual dining at the Kings Channel Clubhouse and fine-dining and Afternoon Tea available in our 16th Century Castle. There are many activities available nearby, such as the Waterford Greenway, House of Waterford Crystal, Mount Congreve Gardens, Tramore beach, UNESO Copper Coast and more that make Waterford one of the best places to visit in Ireland.


Golden Years Breaks

The luxury Castle hotel offers a wonderful break for active retired breaks and golden years getaways.
