Temple House is not an inn nor a hotel, rather a family-owned country house on a 1200 acre estate almost surrounding Temple House Lake. The present owners have ancestors who have lived here since 1665, and the present house was redesigned and refurbished in 1864, retaining its old atmosphere with turf and log fires and some canopied beds.

Surrounding the lake there are beautiful dense woods and a promontory fort on the eastern shore, and several Crannogs in the lake. Herons nest in the beech trees and there are Pinemartin in the woods. Otters play on the shore and ducks, pheasant, swans, kingfishers, crested grebes and peregrine falcon are among over 100 birds seen here.

Spend a relaxing vacation hiking through the broadleaf woods with blue bells and rhododendrons, natural bogwoodlands, fens and bogs or fishing for pike in one of the boats on Temple House lake.

Enjoy a gourmet dinner prepared with produce from local organic suppliers and fruit and vegetables from the organic walled kitchen garden; lamb from their farm, pike or perch from the lake if you catch it or locally caught wild salmon; a special treat! End the day chatting to the other guests round the fire or in a local pub, enjoying the traditional Irish music sessions and set or ceile dancing.

Situated in Yeats Country close to Lough Gill, Parkes Castle and Lissadell House, they are within easy reach of many archaeological sites [5000+ B.C]; Bronze Age graves, Dolmens, Stone circles, Ring forts and many other sites. Connemara, Mayo, South Donegal and Fermanagh are within an easy day's drive. The staff are happy to discuss sites and routes with you, depending on what you are interested in and how far you would like to drive.

County Sligo has riding stables, well known golf courses, magnificent mountain scenery, lakes, waterfalls and miles of beautiful beaches.
