Temple House was the perfect venue for a group celebration. The house itself is beautiful, there’s a huge entrance hall with a wood burning stove to greet you on arrival… the living rooms maintain a cosy, welcoming feel with lovely open fires welcoming you in after a walk by the sea (we walked the beach and Aughris loop with a drink in the beach bar). The dining room is amazing and can seat up to 30 people-the perfect place for breakfast overlooking the grounds and for dinner later on! Roderick was very helpful with the planning and organisation of the weekend and we couldn’t fault the food and the service. The bedrooms are each designed with their own personality and were very comfortable. Temple House is a very special place and we had an unforgettable weekend here-would highly recommend it!

Just returned from a truly wonderful stay at Temple House. Roderick and his team are incredible hosts, they go the extra mile and make the stay perfect. It's everything you can hope for from a privately owned estate and stunning house. Food and service and wonderful large comfortable rooms, suited for all occasions. Thank you to all the staff who looked after us. Highly recommend this place.

We couldn't have been happier with our buyout stay of Temple House to host our yoga and poetry retreat! Everything was absolutely magical. The food was incredible, the spaces were perfect for our yoga classes and poetry workshops, and the setting is gorgeous. Roderick and his family, the staff, everyone we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and top notch. Can't wait to go back!

Cannot praise Temple House highly enough. We stayed here for two nights in August for my mother’s birthday. It was a big family group, 20 of us ranging from 8 to 80. The whole stay was magical from start to finish. The rooms were gorgeous, all with their own bathrooms which is impressive for a house this age. The first time driving up to the house through the extensive grounds and rounding the corner through the trees and seeing the house was truly a Pride and Prejudice ‘first time seeing Pemberly’ moment. There are a selection of cosy sitting rooms to choose from, a great selection of board games and a table tennis table (which was a big hit with the kids). They also have an honesty bar with a great selection of drinks including Guinness and Carlsberg on draft. My mum has always been enthralled with the Knights Templar and was absolutely delighted when she discovered there are the ruins of a Knights Templar castle in the grounds. Roderick was a fantastic host, so friendly and welcoming, and organised everything to perfection. He arranged a falconry experience and archery for us, both of which I would highly recommend. We had an absolutely gorgeous three course dinner on the Saturday night in the grand dining room overlooking the lake, all very Downtown Abbey. The grounds are great to explore too, we had a wander round the old stable, orchard and fairy grotto (so pretty). You can also borrow a boat to take out on the lake if you wanted to fish or swim but unfortunately we didn’t have time. Highly recommend and I hope we’ll be back some day.

We stayed at Temple House recently for a special birthday celebration. We were a group of 13 including children and a wonderful time was had by all. From the start communication with the owner Roderick was excellent. He really went above and beyond for us and was a pleasure to deal with. We were all blown away by Temple House and the surrounding countryside. It was really such a special treat and such a unique experience for everyone. We were really impressed at the immaculate condition of the house and how well it is kept. It was warm and comfortable and spotlessly clean. Having the place to ourselves was incredibly special. We took rowing boats out on the lake which was lovely and there was plenty for everyone to do. Food was fabulous and they can cater for any dietary requirements. I would highly recommend Temple House for a family gathering, re-union, wedding or special birthday. We were all left with wonderful memories which we will treasure and will definitely be making plans to visit again in the future.

My husband and our daughter stayed at Temple House around 7 years ago. At the time we had stayed at an assortment of different lodgings in Ireland; hotels, b&b’s and smaller manors. Temple House was by far our favorite. We said that for our 10 year anniversary we would come back with our family. Flash forward to today. Myself, my husband and daughter came back, but this time we brought our younger sons. We’re all a bit older, and a bit better traveled. To say that Temple House hasn’t “changed” in the 7 years since we’ve been here is complicated. Have additional rooms been renovated and added for rental - yes. Has technology been added to help modernize our stay - yes. Has the charm and hospitality of this magnificent estate changed - absolutely not. Something about Temple House keeps bringing us back. Maybe is the paddle boat rides on the lake? Or seeing the sheep freely roam the grounds? Or being able to walk near castle ruins from the eras of Knights Templar, Or maybe it’s relaxing in the sitting room, surrounded by generations of Perceval portraits and listening to Roderick recant his family’s history? We’ll be back to Temple House again, we’re already looking forward to it.

Temple house makes a superb base to explore the many attractions of Sligo and north Mayo. We stayed in the cottage which was very cosy and well equipped. Roderick was an excellent host and very responsive to any queries. Unfortunately we ran out of time to take up his kind offer of boating on the lake which is set within the grounds of the demesne. Looking forward to a return trip!

The cottage is a different experience to staying in the big house. Some groups use it for the overspill and it works well. Thank you for your kind words.

Our recent stay at the magnificent Temple House in County Sligo in Ireland was nothing short of extraordinary. We were a party of 19, gathered from Canada, New Zealand, the UK and Ireland to celebrate my mum’s 90th birthday — and we could not have chosen a more perfect place. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere and the setting is breathtaking and the views over the tranquil temple house lake, the ruins of the former Castle and rolling countryside can be seen from every window in the house. We were very fortunate to have our own private chef during our stay, who prepared exquisite dinners every evening and each meal was a beautifully cooked and served with care. It made the celebration feel truly special. Roderick was incredibly helpful and supportive in the lead-up to our stay, assisting with all the logistics and making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. His hospitality, along with that of the entire Perceval family, made us feel like treasured guests from beginning to end. Our stay at the house is a wonderful and unforgettable experience and we have come home with amazing memories and are already making plans to return.

We had the most unforgettable weekend at Temple House celebrating our granny’s 90th birthday with 19 of us, aged 12 to 90. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The estate is stunning, full of rich family history and beautifully decorated, like stepping into a living museum. We loved exploring the grounds, especially taking the rowboats out on the lake. Rodrick, our wonderful host, kindly lent us fishing gear and life jackets - we even caught two pike! The dinners by chef Carl were exceptional, and every member of staff was warm and attentive. It was dreamy from start to finish. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Spent a few days with 20 family members at this magnificent Manor House in July 2025. Stunning property inside and out and so full of beautiful portraits, artifacts and the whole place is so luxurious. The staff are amazing and Roderic is a really charming host who is calm, casual, professional, helpful and personable. The rooms were superb and we had meals every morning and evening and everything was delicious and the service was excellent. A perfect getaway for a really special event.

We recently attended a wedding at Temple House. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The house is stunningly beautiful, has a warm and welcoming feel to it, and it is in a magical setting. The rooms were very comfortable, the food delicious, but most importantly of all the service was impeccable. The staff are outstanding, no detail is over looked, and they are so friendly and welcoming to guests.

Magic beyond my wildest dreams! I think our photo says it all! I had envisioned and planned every detail of our wedding day from half way across the world, for just under a year. And the magic on our wedding day was beyond my expectations and wildest imagination. And believe me, my imagination is intense! Roderick and the Temple House team are warm, professional, relaxed and on the ball! The food throughout our stay, and on the big day, was extraordinary and I am a huge foodie and so are my family and friends. We booked out the whole estate (rooms and cottage) for 5 days and this allowed us to sink into the beauty and soak everything in, bit by bit, before the wedding. Temple House is such a special place for a family and friends reunion and the grounds are simply breath taking! I'd like to thank Roderick for being such a gentleman and so hands-on. I felt immediately comfortable around him and knew our big day was in the best of hands. I can't wait to return for an anniversary and get on that row boat and enjoy the lake! Though I made sure to walk around the grounds- especially on the morning of my wedding so that we could be as grounded and present as possible come showtime! I'm grateful that Roderick allowed us to add our our own touches on design and also to put up photos of our family and friends around the house. That allowed for an intimate feel throughout our stay and for our friends to enjoy on the wedding day as they explored the wonderful home and grounds. Roderick made the wedding planning process FUUUNNN! I always looked forward to connecting with him and knew he had everything under control. My fiancé - husband!! - and I live in Singapore so we didn't have the chance to see Temple House in person but loved the virtual tour Roderick gave us and knew this was what we wanted: a family home rich in history and abounding in character and warmth. We have had friends and family from Ireland, and all over the world, tell us that this was the best wedding they'd ever been to! Even the photographer said it was in his TOP 5 . haha This was music to our ears! People have been talking about it for weeks since and so we know that something very special had happened that day.

What a pleasant and beautiful place to stay! Big room, comfy bed, nice bathroom and beautiful historical furnishings and paintings and it is fun to be hosted by the 4th+ generation of family living there. The Knights Templar castle ruins on the property is a bonus! One of the best breakfasts we have had traveling here. Worth coming!

Ein großartiges Herrenhaus, man fühlt sich in eine andere Zeit versetzt. Es kommt als B&B daher und ist doch besser als jedes Hotel. Wir waren als Familie hier mit zwei Kindern und alle haben es geliebt. Umgeben von weiten Ländereien, direkt neben der Ruine einer Templerburg am See. Aus unserer Sicht ein absolutes Muß vor den Toren Sligos.

Where do I start?! We had a magical, memorable, private 2 day family party here the weekend just gone. The photos do not do this glorious house justice. The main house is enormous, with massive bedrooms, exquisite common areas and simply stunning grounds, including a formal garden and a lake. It is a really special place, full of history, glamour and comfort. Not a TV in sight (but there is WIFI), it is the perfect place to leave the outside world behind. Roderick is a complete gentleman. He was helpful and available but never overbearing. He made organising the event incredibly straight forward. This was of great assistance as I do not live locally. The choice of menu is extensive and the food locally sourced and delicious. I really cannot recommend Temple House enough. We can’t wait to come back!

We organised a weekend in Temple House for 35 people. Roderick and team were fantastic hosts and made everything easy in terms of planning and on the weekend itself. Food/dinner was really high quality. Temple House is a beautiful venue; perfect for a large gathering. I would definitely recommend it.
