Tucked away in the heart of the Waterford countryside, Faithlegg offers the perfect escape for those looking to slow down and savour the very best of Ireland’s Ancient East. Just minutes from the sparkling coastline and charming seaside towns of Tramore and Dunmore East, the estate is ideally positioned for beach walks, sea swims and exploring the county’s many hidden gems. For outdoor enthusiasts, the nearby Waterford Greenway offers one of Ireland’s most scenic cycling experiences, stretching 46km along a spectacular former railway line between Waterford City and Dungarvan.

At the centre of the estate sits a striking 18th-century mansion house, where timeless elegance meets contemporary comfort. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a golf retreat, a spa weekend or simply a luxurious countryside break, Faithlegg blends old-world charm with warm Irish hospitality in a setting that feels both relaxed and indulgent.

Food At Faithlegg

Food lovers are particularly well catered for at the award-winning Roseville Rooms Restaurant, a proud member of Taste Waterford. Under the direction of Executive Head Chef Jenny Flynn, the menus celebrate the very best seasonal produce from local farmers, fishermen and artisan suppliers across the southeast. Flynn’s passion for local ingredients and creative cooking shines through every dish, while her own award-winning Seville Orange & Muldoon Whiskey Marmalade has become something of a signature touch for guests.

Before or after dinner, guests can settle into the intimate surroundings of Bar 1783, named after the year the original Faithlegg House was built. Rich interiors, elegant bay windows and views across the estate create the perfect backdrop for expertly crafted cocktails and Irish whiskeys. The drinks menu takes inspiration from the history and character of the house, featuring premium Irish ingredients including Glendalough Gin, Micil Poitín, organic Clashganny apple juice and Faithlegg’s own house gin.

There’s no shortage of ways to unwind during your stay. Guests can indulge in restorative treatments at the Faithlegg Treatment Suites using luxury Elemis products. At the same time, golfers can enjoy a round on the estate’s acclaimed championship golf course with guidance from PGA Professional Derry Kiely.

Blending heritage, luxury and the natural beauty of County Waterford, Faithlegg continues to offer an experience that keeps guests returning time and again. Recent enhancements throughout the hotel have introduced beautifully redesigned guest rooms and suites featuring elegant interiors, bespoke furnishings, luxurious bathrooms, Nespresso machines, and Dyson hair dryers — all carefully considered to elevate comfort while preserving the character and charm of the historic house.

Part of the renowned FBD Hotels & Resorts collection, Faithlegg sits alongside some of Ireland and Spain’s best-loved destinations, including Killashee Hotel, The Grand Hotel, Castleknock Hotel and The Heritage, as well as the group’s popular Spanish resorts Sunset Beach Club and La Cala Resort.
