Amazing place to stay! Real old world feel with comfort, luxury and fabulous surroundings. The breakfasts are smashing as well and the owners and staff are great folks. Very convenient to Sligo as well.
Temple House is an Irish Georgian Manor House in Co Sligo, on the Wild Atlantic Way. Inhabited since the 1600s by the Perceval family, it overlooks the castle of a 13C. Knight Templar, beside a lake. The grounds are extensive, the countryside beautiful, the accommodation sumptuous.
Greatest place that we've stayed since we are in Ireland. The estate is gorgeous and you can find an old Templar's mansion on site. The Perceval's family treated us with generosity and kindness. The high light of our vacation in Scotland and Ireland!
We arrived very late (around 11pm) and Roderick was great - staying up late himself to help us settle in. We wish we could have stayed more than 1 night, but we loved what time we did spend there. The room (Superior Double Room – Porch) was HUGE (the pictures didn't do it justice) and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the other guests were pleasant company while Roderick served us. The room was full of books that talked about the area and Temple House specifically. Before we left we visited the Templar ruins and the garden. This place was more expensive than other local options, but we loved the unique things they offered.
Unique, unspoilt, family run stately home in beautiful grounds. New discoveries even after 5 days of being here.
This edifice was our choice of wedding reception venue with great success due to the dedication, hard work and commitment of the owners who you will find working at the "coal face", with a brilliant, equally dedicated team of cheerful friendly staff including wedding coordinator.
Very good value on the financial front with many contacts in the area for all the extra services.
One of my Favorite places to go. Owners have had this in the Family since the 15 century. Owner host Roderic Perceval is the most gracious host to this luxurious Bed and Breakfast. A must Stay Irish Gem. Acres of historic grounds of the Knights of the Templer ruins. Lake, trails, boating, fishing, sheep covered fields, and a photo opportunity everywhere. For an extra fee you can have dinner in their grand dinning room. U really do fell like royalty. Love the place.
Read about Temple House in a guidebook and visited on my first trip to Ireland in 1992. I loved the grounds, the garden, the ruins , the lake and most of all the hosts. We were treated like old friends. Great food and craic. Hope to one day visit again.
Beautiful house and grounds. The owner is very friendly and there is a bird-of-prey sanctuary nearby which is well worth visiting.
Dont go there
