Ardmore's Cliff House Hotel to convert former Waterford barracks into 'fishing lodge'

Guests who “wish to fish, kayak or otherwise enjoy the River Blackwater”, may book at the hotel to stay in the facility during May to August

The 39-room Cliff House Hotel was constructed to replace an existing hotel in 2005.

A former RIC and Garda barracks on the banks of the River Blackwater is to be used to accommodate guests of the five-star Cliff House Hotel in Ardmore, Co. Waterford.

Guests at what is regarded as one of the country's most luxurious hotels are to be offered the option of short-stay accommodation at the redeveloped barracks at Ballyduff Upper. The barracks is 37kms north-west of the Ardmore hotel and within 150m of the River Blackwater, where guests can fish or kayak on the river.
