questions, answered

Is the estate hired exclusively, or do you let single rooms?

Temple House is always hired exclusively. You take the whole private estate for your group alone. We never share the property between different groups, so the house and grounds are entirely yours.

How many people can stay?

The estate sleeps up to 31 across The Big House, The Cottage — enough for your whole group. It works just as well for an intimate gathering as for a big celebration.

Can we self-cater, or do you provide catering?

Both. You can self-cater, or add private-chef dinners, breakfasts or full catering in the builder above — mix and match across your stay.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is per person, per night and depends on your group size, the number of nights and any catering or experiences you add. Build your stay above to see live pricing instantly — no waiting for a quote.

What’s included in exclusive use?

The full estate: every place to stay plus all the private gardens and grounds — yours to enjoy with complete privacy throughout your stay.

How do we book?

Build your stay above to see live pricing, then send it to us. We’ll confirm your dates and hold the estate with a deposit. You can also add experiences like a private chef, hot tub, or activities at any point.

I stayed for a weekend with friends for a games event. It was an incredible venue for it. Many rooms, big tables, and we were kept warm and cosy throughout. The facilities were perfect.

This is a great spot. The house and grounds are beautiful, and we were given really nice home-cooked food. The common spaces were large enough for a group, comfortable and warm.

I stayed for a celebration with a group of friends. The hosts provided dinners and a fully stocked kitchen. A fantastic period house, modernised with all mod cons, and the grounds are beautiful.
