Temple House

Jump to:

Owned and managed by the Perceval family for over 350 years, Temple House provides intimate stay in a Georgian manor home. The house is located on an expansive estate of manicured parkland overlooking a 13th-century lakeside castle, providing a quiet retreat that鈥檚 still just a 20-minute drive to the heart of Sligo city.

It鈥檚 apparent from your first moments that this isn鈥檛 a typical hotel. Guests are greeted with a warm welcome by Roderick and Helen Perceval and the lobby is decorated with family trinkets. The walls of the grand entrance are painted bright turquoise, elaborately trimmed and lined with gold-framed pictures. The seven guest rooms vary in shape, design, and decor, but include modern amenities and bathrooms that date back to 1864. There are no TVs in the rooms to contribute to a relaxing stay.

There鈥檚 no formal restaurant at the manor house, but Temple House offers a four-course dinner menu that spotlights locally sourced ingredients. A communal dining space at the large mahogany table encourages guests to interact with one another while still offering an intimate evening.

OUR OPINION:

Falling somewhere between a hotel and a B&B, this intimate manor house offers plenty of personality and a sense of rural quietude, all just a short drive from the city.
