Temple House Estate | Sligo

"We got married at Temple House on October 22, 2022, and stayed for two nights along with our family and closest friends. Booking Temple House was the best decision we made about our wedding. It was absolutely perfect. Roderick is a fantastic party planner. He knows how to keep the energy flowing in the right way, and he makes sure that everyone is taken care of. We live in Toronto, and his communication was always on-point. Before we booked, he facilitated a thorough tour via Hangouts, and then accommodated my parents on a visit around the venue. The ceremony room has the most stunning windows and skylight. It poured rain all day of our wedding, but despite that, the room was so bright and welcoming. Even though we didn't get many opportunities for photos outside, the house itself is so gorgeous! Our friends commented that our photos look like something from a movie. The food was to-die for. The soda bread!!! The apple & rhurbarb crumble!!!! The pork belly!!! We served a four course meal for the wedding dinner and every plate was clean. It felt like the food was made with love. The house wine was delicious, and the midnight snacks were hoovered up. The accommodations are stunning. Even though the rooms are huge, they felt so cozy and warm. The beds were some of the most comfortable we'd ever slept in! Temple House bewitched our family and friends, and we enjoyed every second of our time there. Thank you so much to Roderick and team for making our weekend so special! We can't wait to come back some day."

"This was the best place I have stayed at in Ireland. It is not a hotel, but a bed and breakfast beyond my expectations. The rich history of the estate and artifacts of the Perceval family throughout the home are like living in a period of history. The castle ruins of the last of the Knights Templar are the best photo ops I've seen. Roderick and his family go out of their way to make you feel at home and comfortable. Thanks to their son, George for the fresh dinner every evening sourced from local producers. Full Irish breakfast similar to a Canadian farmer's breakfast. 10/10"

"I was here for a women's wellness retreat for a week and it was amazing. Roderick was so hospitable and kept us all entertained. And the food was to LIVE FOR! So delicious. It's such a great place to stay if you want to fulfill your Bridgerton fantasy or want to experience the Irish countryside. All the rooms are amazing and no matter where you are the views are amazing. Also the ruins are the coolest things ever!! I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!"

"What an incredible stay. A real Downtown Abbey experience. We spent 5 days with our extended family (Nieces and Nephews ages 4-12). Incredibly family friendly. But yes, you need to keep the kids in check with all the historical pieces. They spent most of the time outside running around the grounds and boating on the lake. Not one minute of telly for 5 days, it was that much fun. Forest walks for miles, paradise! As a previous reviewer said, the pictures really don't do it justice. You are transported back in time to a real lived-in estate. If you want a traditional bland hotel experience, this isn't for you. It's just something incredibly unique and special. The place is dripping in family history and luxury. It's like being transported back in time to 18th century but with the comforts of the 21st century. If you are in anyway inclined to experience what it must have felt like to live that Downtown Abbey country estate life, this is definitely a bucket list stay. And on top of everything meet the humble and welcoming family that still runs it 350 years later!"

"We had our wedding at Temple house and stayed there for 3 nights, it was an incredible experience. The photos and videos don't do it justice, even nicer in person and is a real experience to stay there. The owners and staff make it a relaxing, professional and very homely feel. Great value for money and the quality of the food is phenomenal, a really unique experience."
