Waterside Guesthouse

Have been going to this restaurant for many years, but due to illness, I am now mobility impaired. We arrived for lunch without thinking that disabled facilities would be an issue, ordered lunch and began to eat. A few moments in, I asked where are the disabled toilets please, only to be told we have none. The regular bathrooms are up 2 flights of stairs and I was advised to go down to the Yacht Club public toilet down the road. We were shocked with no disabled facilities and with their general lack of interest really. After questioning another 2 staff members about facilities or if they had a staff bathroom on the ground floor available, We had no choice but to pay for our uneaten food and leave the restaurant ! My husband had to get the car outside, put me in and drive down to use the PUBLIC bathroom. If any premises in 2024 has NO disabled facilities available for customers then please have compassion and consideration for disabled people and install a ground floor bathroom or just a toilet at the very least. Not a very dignified situation to put any human being in. You never know when your own situation could change.

Stayed here recently for a weekend with a large walking group , great weekend and everyone was raving about the place . Comfortable accommodation and very clean . Food excellent - especially the breakfast . Staff very efficient and friendly . Booked the accomodation with Brian and he was very easy to deal with . Will definitely be back, Graiguenamanagh and Waterside guest house are both gems

Absolutely superb couple of nights away with friends at the Waterside. The rooms were spacious and we had a sitting room as well. Lovely and clean and the breakfasts were plentiful and with really good choices. Highly recommend this guesthouse Brian was a lovely host and the staff were a delight.

Another couple and ourselves spent three nights in this wonderful stone inn. We loved the warm welcome from Brian and his staff, and the peaceful riverside setting with the picturesque canal boats moored along the banks. The breakfasts were varied and delicious (crepes, full Irish etc) and the staff very helpful. There was also a good little gift/book shop. Our only regret was that the restaurant is not open for dinner every night. This Guesthouse was one of best and most relaxing places we stayed during our holiday, with sights like Jerpoint Abbey, Kilkenny Castle and Woodstock Gardens nearby. The rooms are small but comfortable and the bathrooms ditto. Thank you, Waterside.
