Temple House, in Sligo, is
a classical
Georgian mansion set in a private estate of over 1,000 acres,
overlooking a 13th century lakeside castle of the Knights Templar. The
Perceval family home since 1665, the present manor was redesigned in
1864 and exudes the authentic and unpretentious country house
atmosphere.
This is not a boutique
hotel, or
just a bed & breakfast, but an historic home offering unique
and luxury country house accommodation, plus a self catering
cottage that sleeps 8.
You will find on-site boating, coarse fishing,
birdwatching, terraced gardens and miles of woodland walks. Within easy
reach are beautiful beaches, eagles flying, archaeological sites,
horse riding, trout fishing and four championship golf courses.
Traditional music and dancing sessions are often held nearby.
Temple House
is an ideal stopover between the west
and north and a great base for exploring Sligo, Leitrim, Fermanagh,
Mayo or South Donegal.
Temple House is a member of Hidden
Ireland – stay in an historic private
house offering the very best and most stylish Irish country house
hospitality.

If you fancy a bit of old-world atmosphere,
Temple House, nr Ballinacarrow,
Ballymote is family-run and well worth investigating

Sunday Independent
Splendid Georgian
pile -- home to the Perceval family since 1665. Open since the eighties
but recently taken over by the younger generation, Roderick and Helena
Perceval, who are bringing this great house forward with style.
For those of
you who may have stayed at Temple House prior to Roderick &
Helena taking over, please note that there is no longer an issue with
scented products. Sandy and Deb retired in 2004.
