Shower pressure was low and slippery. Not a major issue though.

The breakfast was incredible! A true Irish breakfast, homemade to order with lots of specialty foods in an intimate setting. Only 3 rooms keeps it intimate.

No complaints whatsoever!

We were greeted warmly by Declan and Bernie, and the house is gorgeous! They made very tasty Irish breakfast. The location offers a dark sky so you can see the Milky Way clearly if the sky is clear and the moon isn’t too bright. The garden is pretty and the croquette lawn is lovely! The pigs said hello when we approached their fence. Beds are very comfortable!

No complaints at all. You buy into the ambience of a Georgian property with large rooms and fine views over lawns and hills. The en suite bathroom excellent and the traditional beds showed fine taste. One felt the place was unique and the owners experienced and welcoming.

Having eaten a thousand Irish breakfasts these last 40 years, we can say unequivocally this was the best. Bernie and Declan breed their own 2- spot brown pigs there: the full breakfast is simply wonderful- clean, no grease, beautifully presented. Green tea, beautiful coffee. Declan is knowledgeable regarding the area and the Georgian house’s remarkable history. The area is quiet, peaceful - lovely walks on local lanes. The lounge and library was at our disposal as was the garden and its walks. Wonderful spot in the Irish Midlands - and the M6/ M4 only 10 minutes away, as is the little town if Kilbeggan with its famous brewery. More should know of this lovely place- lovely people too!

We liked everything.

The house is beautiful and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The gardens are impeccably maintained with a hint of magic about them. The room was spacious and airy and the bathroom was luxurious and functional. The breakfast was delicious and served in an old world dining room. Declan and Bernie were fantastic hosts with the perfect balance of helpful yet respectful of privacy. They were so kind to our little girl sharing some of the secrets of this enchanting home with her.

Beautiful-like a Jane Austen film. We enjoyed the absolute best greeting from Prim, their small terrier who was very excited to meet us. Traveling with our three daughters in their 20s - we had a beautiful evening playing croquet on the lawn, walking down the lane and exploring the gardens. The absolute BEST sausages I’ve ever had at the delicious and well-appointed breakfast- hosts were solicitous and respectful of privacy. Our rooms were thoughtful selected so we were near one another- this was the best stay of our 10day trip.

We were greeted like family and ushered into a charming room with wonderful high ceilings and all the modern conveniences in a very old fashioned setting. Our hosts offered tea, coffee, water, etc. We sat in the den by a fire for a little while before bedtime, and in the morning we went downstairs to a beautiful breakfast spread: a table with continental offerings and a personalized hot breakfast we had ordered the night before. Really wonderful hosting by lovely people.

Nothing! It was really a great experience. I would recommend TEMPLEMACATEER to anyone!!

When you travel, the people you meet make the difference. Declan and Bernie made us feel welcome right away. Their spaceous farm home was roomy and comfortable. The home-made breakfast and the cozy evening fires in their sitting room made it feel like home.

Wonderful, peaceful place with very friendly and accommodating hosts. The house is not close to town, but we knew that when we booked. The house is old and lovingly decorated and has all the modern conveniences. The breakfast was outstanding, and we really appreciated how helpful our hosts were.

Nothing negative to say whatsoever!

We stayed at Templemacateer for one night while attending a festival in the area and the house and grounds exceeded our expectations in every way! One of the loveliest locations we've stayed at, with a beautifully kept house, vibrant gardens, and friendly hosts. We were even introduced to the farm animals, which made the trip for us! Templemacateer is a little slice of paradise.
