Certificate of Excellence

Temple House, in Sligo, is a beautiful manor 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 exudes the authentic and unpretentious country house atmosphere. More Country House than B&B or Hotel you are encouraged to immerse yourself in the special and relaxing atmosphere at Temple House. Unwind, enjoy the peace and tranquility of little noise but that of the birds and occasional sheep. The space and light is amazing, the whole setting breathtaking. Have your camera at the ready for memorable moments. A delicious breakfast with homemade granola, rhubarb from the garden, homemade soda-bread, leaf tea, French press coffee and the full Irish of course. Dinner is available Mon-Sat at 7.30pm. As reviews will testify this is an experience not to be missed. It is fine dining but our approach is unstuffy and fun for all.

I booked a night at this guest house after coming across a picture of the staircase of this home online. After seeing some of the photos, our expectations were high as the pictures of the property are beautiful. No amount of preparation was enough to be able to pick our jaws…

"the food was superb" Penelope, thank you so much. We enjoyed having you to stay too. It was about time that shower mixer was changed. The hot and cold was back to front!

Our large family stayed at Temple House for a special Birthday celebration and had a wonderful weekend. We were made feel at home by Roderick, his family & staff. The house & grounds provided great exploring opportunities for the children (all ages!) and the food was fantastic.

I am thinking of celebrating my 7 July 75th birthday in Sligo to be near my cousins in . I will be bringing all my family - my husband, 6 sons & 4 wives, 2 daughters with husbands and 10 grandchildren. I want to be on or very near a wind surfing beach. Could you accommodate us? Nancy Conway

HI Nancy I am sorry for not seeing this question sooner. We would be delighted to host your family get together. Between the big house B&B and our cottage we could accommodate everybody. How long would you like to stay? Roderick

What are the size of the beds? Double (1 bed), twin beds, queen beds, or?

The bed sizes vary according to room type and size. If you have a specific requirement please ask. The booking engine usually describes the beds too.

Please tell me which rooms have en suite toilet and shower. Thank you.

Thanks for getting in touch. 6 of the 7 rooms are en suite. The one with private bathroom as opposed to en suite is the 70 euro per person one. It has a picture of 2 twin brass bedsteads. Hope that helps. Roderick
