• Ballymote, County Sligo

Experience the grandeur of Temple House, an extraordinary Georgian manor perfect for exclusive group gatherings. Your arrival sets the tone – a half-mile private avenue winds through pristine parkland, where sheep and lambs gracefully maintain the estate’s verdant lawns beneath centuries-old trees.

Set on a magnificent 1,000-acre private estate in County Sligo, this historic treasure offers unparalleled views of a 13th-century Knights Templar castle beside a tranquil lake. As the cherished Perceval family home since 1665, Temple House was masterfully redesigned in 1864 to create the perfect blend of aristocratic elegance and warm Irish hospitality.

Ideal for intimate gatherings of up to 20 guests across 10 beautifully appointed rooms, Temple House offers an exclusive-use experience that surpasses traditional hotels. For larger parties, an additional self-catering cottage accommodating 8 guests is also available.

The Manor is ideal, whether you’re planning:

  • a memorable family reunion
  • a distinctive wedding celebration
  • an atmospheric corporate retreat
  • a wellness or creative gathering
  • any exclusive group event
