My spouse and I make an annual spring walking trip to this gem of a place. After a long and magical meander on the river tow-path from Goresbridge, the Waterside is located on the banks of the beautiful Barrow river in the center of the wonderful old town of Graiguenamanagh. Brian and his team always make a great welcome for... More

This restaurant has exactly that what one is hoping to find when leaving a busy city or escaping from a stressful job. Staff is very friendly, kind and funny - down to earth people who know how to chat with their customers. The food is good - especially the smoked trout which was really really nice. Location is a winner... More

We just returned from a week in Ireland and the highlight was our night in Graiguenamanagh at the Waterside Guesthouse. The town of about 1300 people is 30 minutes from Kilkenny but light years away in terms of charm and beauty. The guesthouse, a converted 19th century stone corn storage house, is set on the banks of the River Barrow... More
