Temple House is a true gem. We stayed there for five nights during August 2022, and also hosted our wedding there. First of all, the actual house is beyond gorgeous - the pictures do not do it justice. The gardens, the lake and old temple ruins in the background create the most idyllic setting. Not only is the house beautiful, historic, and well-maintained, the staff is incredible. Every single person went above and beyond to ensure we had a nice stay. Our wedding day was everything that we had imagined and so much more. As we are from the US, it was a little scary planning a wedding so far away from home and not seeing the venue until a few days before the ceremony. However, Roderick and his team were so easy to work with, and they all truly went above and beyond. If you are going to Ireland and are interested at all in the Sligo area, I highly recommend that you stay at Temple House. It's close enough to the town that you can easily tour the famous Strandhill Beach, Benbulben (Ireland's table mountain), and Sligo town, but it's also tucked away enough that you truly feel like you are on a country holiday. It's the best of both worlds. Also, if you are even considering hosting a party or event and you've come across Temple House, just do it. Roderick, Diandra, Chef Vickie, PJ, and so many more make an incredible team and will ensure that your special event will be just that: special and memorable. They've truly got something very special going for them, and I hope you'll decide to experience it for yourself.
