Waterside Guesthouse

Waterside Guesthouse Waterside Guesthouse & Restaurant Waterside is a carefully converted 19th century granite cornstore.

We operate 10 ensuite bedrooms overlooking the river Barrow in the heart of Graiguenamanagh. The building has a preservation order and that seems sensible when you see the lovely granite stone in the corridors and feature wooden beams in each bedroom. On the ground floor we have a comfy restaurant with seating for 45 guests.

2012 was exciting with the launch of our Waterside Bike & Hike rental se

rvice. We are supplying mountain bikes, electric bikes and kids mountain bikes for rental, as well as leading tours down the Barrow towpath on ecology and exploration outings. Call us on 086-4084008 or email bike&[email protected]

Check out NationalTransport.ie and make a submission on their consultation re expanding the Graiguenamanagh-Kilkenny Bus service from twice a day to four times a day. This would be a huge improvement in connectivity for Graiguenamanagh, including a Sunday service, and would be of benefit to locals and visitors alike. Hopefully lots of people click on the site and support this plan.

We will be finishing our 25th season at Waterside this Sunday afternoon. A huge thank you to Alice Savage and Betty Kavanagh who have been at the heart of everything we do at Waterside since we first arrived in Graiguenamanagh in Summer 1998. I hope these Cushendale blankets keep them warm during our annual winter hibernation, and ready for action again in Spring 2024.

Our Story

2015 saw even more exciting developments with the growth of our guided rowing holidays under the banner Irish Rowing Adventures. Calling on over 30 years of experience in rowing we offer tour rowing to clubs from all over the world. So far we have had rowing clubs from Ireland, UK, Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland, Australia, USA and The Netherlands.

2018 is a significant milestone for us at Waterside as this is our 20th season in Graiguenamanagh. What a helter skelter twenty years it has been!
