“Going home was hard”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

My visit to Temple House was so wonderful, with a great host more than happy to tell tales of the house, its occupants and the local area, fantastic food (many thanks for accomodating my allergies) and an all round relaxing experience. The 4 course evening meal being a set menu was such a treat and so wonderfully cooked with no... More

“Serenity in a bucolic, historic setting”

Reviewed 27 May 2013

We had high expectations of Temple House before arriving based on online reviews. However, the reality far exceeded those expectations. After 10 days of staying in conventional hotels throughout Ireland, our jaws dropped as we drove down the long driveway surrounded by grazing sheep and views of castle ruins on the premises of an 18th-century manor house. It was like... More

Thank you very much for your words. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. It is worth noting that dinner is only 45 euro each (it might be misleading on your review). We believe that 4 courses of good Irish produce cooked with passion and care by our French cook remains good value. Hope to see you again. More

“Superb experience!”

My husband and I stayed at The Temple House from 23 till 25 May 2013. Coming from the Currarevagh in Oughterard where we just before had a fantastic time, we were slightly worried that no place could exceed our last days' experience. From the moment we entered the estate, I could not believe my eyes... Left and right from the... More

OMG it's trip advisor! Thank you. Hope to see you again soon. More

“Temple House, County Sligo”

Reviewed 26 May 2013

If you get a chance to stay here, don't miss it. We stayed 3 nights this week. Everything about Temple House is excellent. The owners, Roderick and Helena are warm, gracious hosts that make you feel right at home in their home. Our room overlooked the lake and 12th century Knights of Templar castle ruins. This a grand country estate... More

Reviewed 20 May 2013

I don’t even know where to begin in reviewing our stay at the “Temple House.” My friend and I spent 10 days traveling through parts of Ireland and our stay here was the highlight of our trip! One enters the estate by driving down a long driveway that takes you through a green pasture filled with hundreds of grazing sheep... More

A glorious house in a spectacular setting, brim-full of history and tales from Ireland and far beyond. For such an old and large house, it is extremely comfortable and warm, with the best bed and shower that we... More

“A Hidden Treasure”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

One of my favourite places ever to stay, every time I go back it feels like going home, and as soon as I leave I'm trying to think of a good reason to get back there soon! Roderick and Helena are warm and generous hosts, the food is amazing, the rooms are beautiful and every one of them has such... More

My husband and spent a few nights at Temple House late last summer and had a wonderful time.

“Worth a long stay.”

Reviewed 22 March 2013

One of our favorite places to stay in Ireland. We have been back 3 times. It is definitely a destination in itself. Roderick is a wonderful host. They often have wonderful special events. I would love to return for one. We have been there as a couple, with family, and again with friends. All were exceptional stays.

“A Must for your bucket list”

Reviewed 6 February 2013

Just once in your life, you must visit Temple House. You cannot call it a hotel and you cannot call it a bed and breakfast. It is something totally different than anything you will ever experience. The mansion itself takes you back many centuries and the house itself is a great exploration site, especially after Roderick tells his ghost stories... More

Thank you so much. Ghost stories are always fun - but they are just stories! Hope to see you again. More
