Waterside History

The hotel has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century when it was originally built as a private residence. In the early 20th century, the building was converted into a hotel and has since undergone several renovations and expansions.

During World War II, the hotel was requisitioned by the government and used as a military hospital. After the war, it was returned to its former use as a hotel.

In 2011, the hotel underwent a major refurbishment, transforming it into a luxurious four-star hotel with 23 beautifully appointed bedrooms, a bar, restaurant, and function rooms.

Today, the Waterside Hotel is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, with its stunning location, luxurious amenities, and warm hospitality.
