My daughter, sister and I stayed for two nights. We agreed that we would have been happy to stay a week. Our "suite" looking over the garden and a view of the ruins and lake was like something out of a magazine-something we'd never thought we'd experience in person. The Percivals were so very welcoming to visitors not used to... more

We spent a most enjoyable weekend here. We were staying with a group of friends (10 or so). The owners are extremely friendly and have a most fantastic skill of being welcoming yet not overbearing. The house and grounds are next to none. Vistas and history abound. The one thing I would say to people looking to stay here (and... more

Stayed at the Temple house for two nights and I had a great time. Roderick was a great host and met all our needs. Rooms were well maintained and the dinner and breakfast fantastic. Location was well suited to see the main sites in the area. Our host suggested a great restaurant for our second night for dinner. This is... more

I can only recommend Temple House to everybody! This lovely personal, family run country house in the peaceful gardens on a lake is so romantic, utterly quiet and offers lovely bedrooms, old world style feeling, a pink sitting room with free WIFI and huge Irish breakfasts. The evening entertainment of concerts, balls etc is SUPER and I look forward to... more

...From the awe-inspiring drive through the gates of Temple House, past the guard-house - meandering along the drive through the lush pastoral setting, and our first-view of the Knights' Templar ruins on the property and of our Georgian Estate accommodations...to, our very cordial welcome from our hosts' daughter, Saffron, and, Darcy, Fudge, & Treacle; our hosts' wonderful and friendly dogs,... more

Temple House isn't a hotel, it's something better--it is that rare place that has something to please even the most diverse group of travelers, like ours. My father, my 14-year-old niece, and I, who didn't agree on that much during the rest of our trip, ALL loved Temple House. Roderick and Helena and their children were so welcoming, and the... more

Just returned from a 'Sister's Trip' to Ireland and we voted Temple House as our favorite lodging! As a property with a large, old grey Georgian Manor House, with endless antiques & portraits...all kept within the same family for centuries...I expected a bit of upper-class 'stuffiness'. Here we were...after 2 hrs of horseback-riding, smelling of (you know what!)...disheveled & tired...driving... more

I absolutly loved it, as did my son.. I'm 54, he is 27. It an idylic setting, a county home surrounded by... more

My wife and I have just returned home from a three night stay in this beautiful, historic house. This was our third time there, and we were sad to leave its friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and the attentive care of owner Roderick Perceval. We always enjoy the fact this is NOT a hotel: it is a home, and the ambience is... more
