Your chauffeur will meet you in the Dublin Airport arrivals hall or at your Dublin City address, help with your bags, and drive you straight to Faithlegg Hotel near Waterford. It’s a private journey the whole way - no shared vehicles and no detours for other passengers. The run takes around two hours.
For the return trip, you can book the same transfer back to Dublin City or the airport. Just let the operator know your pick-up location and time when you make that separate booking.
Faithlegg House Hotel sits on the Waterford Estuary, which means you arrive with water views rather than a car park. The setting is genuinely lovely, and if you get there with any light left in the evening, it’s worth walking down towards the river before dinner to get your bearings.
Waterford city is about 10 kilometres from Faithlegg, close enough to make a half-day trip easy. The city has a strong Viking heritage and the Museum of Treasures on the quays is worth a couple of hours - it holds the Ardagh Chalice and some of the most important early medieval metalwork in Europe. The medieval quarter is compact and walkable.
The drive from Dublin takes you south on the M9, which is one of the smoother motorway routes out of the capital. You’ll pass through Carlow and Kilkenny county before dropping into Waterford, and the landscape along that corridor has a gentle, pastoral quality that helps you relax into the journey. Two hours tends to feel shorter than it sounds.
Faithlegg is part of a broader Waterford landscape worth exploring. The Waterford Greenway, an off-road cycling and walking trail that runs 46 kilometres from Waterford city to Dungarvan, passes through some beautiful estuary scenery. You can rent bikes locally and cover as much or as little of it as you like.
