Sometimes you just need to press pause. A change of scene. A bit of headspace. Spring’s a great time for it – the days are longer, the weather’s improving, and everything feels more manageable.
If you’re planning spring retreats in Waterford, the Viking Hotel is a great choice. You’re close to the coast, the city, the countryside, and quiet places to recharge – with newly renovated superior bedrooms to come back to.
Why Choose Waterford?
Waterford is packed with character. Think beaches, forest walks, mountain drives, history, art, and some of the best cafés and restaurants in Ireland.
It’s an experience, not just a destination. And in spring, it’s all a bit easier – fewer queues, better prices, and a more relaxed vibe.
