“ I am writing to thank you for the absolutely wonderful weekend we spent in Temple House! We couldn’t have picked a better place for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Everyone’s needs were met, and everyone had a fantastic time.

Your house, its furnishings and its location are breath-taking, and the relaxed hospitality shown to us was second to none. Nothing was ever a problem, and all our needs were perfectly catered to. The small details meant so much to us, from the welcoming fire and tea and coffee in the morning room when we arrived back from Sligo, to the “anniversary” dessert plate you surprised my parents with….and not forgetting the exceptionally succulent Temple House roast lamb we had for dinner.

All of my family feel so lucky to have discovered Temple House. We really couldn’t have picked a finer location, and that’s without even mentioning the stunning beauty of Co. Sligo and the proximity of Temple House to Sligo town and the Wild Atlantic Way. Thank you for creating so many special memories for us. "
