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 enjoys 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. click for more things to do

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.
