Frommer's Review

A grand manor house tucked away amid pastures, forest, and terraced gardens, Temple House is where you can live out your country house dream. Overlooking a lake and the ruins of a Knights Templar castle, the house impresses with its sheer size and historic authenticity. The Perceval family has lived here since 1665, and recently a new generation, Roderick and Helena, have taken over. They artfully juggle raising their two young children with caring for their guests and running their working farm. Guest rooms are enormous -- one is so big that it's called "The Half Acre Room" -- and filled with heirlooms. Beds are firm and comfortable, and all the bathrooms are modern. The walled garden a short walk from the house supplies the vegetables served with the evening meals, and the fruit offered at breakfast. Book a place for dinner, where the atmosphere is intentionally like a relaxed manor house party -- guests meet for drinks around the fire in the drawing room and dine together at the vast table. Breakfast includes homemade cereals and fresh fruit compote and yogurt. Staying here, even for a night, is a friendly and unique experience. There are now also two charming self-catering guesthouses for those who want a bit more privacy.
