Waterford Castle, Medieval castle hotel on a private island in Waterford, Ireland
The stone fortress stands on a 310-acre private island, accessed by a dedicated ferry crossing the King's Channel near Waterford City.
The original tower house from the 16th century was transformed into a Gothic-style residence in 1895 for Gerald Purcell-Fitzgerald by architects Walker and Murray.
The Fitzgerald Bar maintains Irish traditions through an extensive collection of local whiskeys and regional spirits served in traditional castle settings.
The castle hotel contains 19 rooms with individual designs, plus 45 separate lodges for self-catering stays, located 90 minutes from Dublin airport.
The property features Ireland's sole island golf course, an 18-hole championship layout that winds through ancient woodlands and natural landscapes.
