Waterford Island Resort Lodges

We recommend that all of our guests stay in the Waterford Island Resort Lodges (please note - the lodges are self-catering, but you will have access to the Castle's restaurant). The Waterford Lodges are located on the Waterford Castle Island, and are about a 10 minute walk from where the ceremony and reception will be taking place at the Castle itself. Each Lodge has 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms. We recommend sharing Lodges if possible. If you are open to sharing a Lodge, but do not know who to share with, please reach out to Sarah MacQueen and she will help match you with others hoping to share a Lodge as well. To book a Lodge at the Waterford Castle Island Resort, please contact Gillian O'Dea (gillianodea@waterfordcastleresort.com) and say you are with the Sarah MacQueen & Brenden Hill wedding (we have negotiated a special wedding rate). When booking your Lodge with Gillian, please make sure you note who you plan to share with.
