Guest Services:
Take a moment to dream. Imagine a peaceful place by a beautiful river, in the shadow of a 14th century castle beside one of Europe's oldest bridges. A place redolent of history. Garrison Waterside is just such a place, created for the visitor who expects more from their holiday. Activities such as riverside walking, fishing and boating can all be savoured a few metres from your house (we'll lend you a boat). A few minutes walk through the village will bring you to our bar & restaurant. County Carlow is a great base for exploring the South East: Venture a little further to enjoy horse racing at Gowran Park, world-class golf at Mount Juliet or shopping in historic Carlow town or medieval Kilkenny City (we are around 10 miles from either). A hour's drive will bring you to Waterford City. Head south for County Wexford with it's blue flag beaches and picturesque fishing villages. About the village: Leighlinbridge is a must on the itinerary of those who wish to explore life in rural Ireland at its very best. The Leighlinbridge district is rich in history, favoured with fertile land and enhanced by the River Barrow which meanders slowly through the village, bringing with it a wealth of activities to the area.
With its narrow winding streets that rise and fall with the lie of the land, grey limestone malthouses and jagged castle ruins overlooking a 14th century bridge, the centre of the little town of Leighlinbridge opens a vista of an earlier Ireland to the visitor.
